How do I optimize my Google Business Profile?

Complete every field: accurate business name, specific medical categories, address, phone, website, hours, appointment links, insurance accepted, photos, and service descriptions. Post weekly updates and respond to all reviews.

What categories should my practice select?

Choose the most specific primary category (Psychiatrist, not Doctor). Add all relevant secondary categories. Google uses categories as a primary signal for matching your listing to patient searches.

How important are GBP photos?

Very. Listings with photos receive 42% more direction requests and 35% more website clicks. Upload high-quality photos of your office, team, and exterior. Add new photos weekly to signal active management.

Should I use Google Business posts?

Yes. Weekly posts sharing health tips, blog content, and practice updates signal active management and appear directly in your Knowledge Panel. We recommend 2-3 posts per week linking to website content.

How do I handle the Q&A section?

Monitor and respond promptly to patient questions. Proactively seed common questions with helpful answers. The Q&A section is publicly visible and influences patient decisions about your practice.
