Getting Positive Google Reviews for your Practice
How critical are positive Google reviews for your practice? The answer is simple. More than 75% of new patients select healthcare professionals based on online reviews, and the most widely viewed review platform is Google!
In today's day and age, before making an appointment with a new healthcare provider, prospective patients typically check a doctor's online reviews. Even when someone gets a recommendation from a friend or family member, it's common to validate that endorsement by checking out the doctor's online reputation. Although it's not unusual for an occasional patient to air a grievance online, having a consistent and positive stream of Google reviews that reflect well on your practice offers a sure way to impress online visitors.
Getting positive Google reviews helps to market your practice in the following ways:
- Establish credibility and trust
- Build online visibility and brand awareness
- Help improve ranking in organic searches
- Drive traffic to your website
- Bring new patients to your door.
Google makes the review process smooth and easy.
Conveniently located in your Google My Business Listing, your Google reviews and star ratings are front and center for online visitors and prospective patients to see as they start their search for services and care. Furthermore, as the review process has evolved, more and more people are looking to read and leave reviews on Google, where they spend much of their Internet time.
