Process
5 phases. One outcome.
Technical & Content Audit
The first step is a deep-dive into your current review management & fair review requests performance. We benchmark you against the top 3 competitors in your market. We start with a full audit of your website's technical health, content quality, and where you stand against competitors. For review management & fair review requests, this means analyzing your Core Web Vitals, crawlability, medical schema implementation, author entity signals, and how your content stacks up against competitors ranking for your target keywords. We also audit your Google Business Profile, local citations, and review presence.
Keyword & Entity Mapping
We map every patient search query relevant to your specialty — symptoms, conditions, procedures, "near me" searches, and insurance-related terms. In 2026, we also map medical entities (your physicians, conditions, procedures) for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. Each entity gets a content plan, schema markup strategy, and internal linking architecture.
Content Production & On-Page Optimization
Our medical content team (writers + physician reviewers) produces optimized content following our TRUST framework: Topical authority, Real expertise, User intent match, Structured for scanning, Trustworthy citations. Every article is attributed to a named physician with verifiable credentials. We implement MedicalWebPage, Physician, and FAQ schema markup throughout.
Authority Building & Link Acquisition
We build your domain authority through healthcare-specific link building: medical journal citations, health reporter outreach, local health organization partnerships, and medical directory optimization. For AI search optimization, we ensure your content is structured for LLM citation — clear, factual, and connected to your physician entities.
Measurement & Continuous Optimization
Monthly reporting tracks rankings, organic traffic, and — most importantly — actual patient conversions from organic search. We also track AI search visibility: how often your hospital is cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews. Every quarter, we reassess the strategy based on algorithm changes, competitive shifts, and your evolving business priorities.
Compliance by market
What the rules allow where you practise.
Healthcare advertising law differs by country, so we run each market’s own playbook. In India, NMC’s 6 Oct 2026 guidelines apply. Read the NMC guide.

Operating principles
- Most patients research and compare providers online before they ever call — your digital presence is the first consultation
- Patients increasingly weigh a provider's online presence and reviews alongside personal referrals
- Patients shortlist several providers before choosing one — the goal is to reliably make that shortlist
- Complete, accurate Google Business Profiles consistently earn more patient attention than thin or unclaimed listings
“The gap between the strongest healthcare practices and everyone else is rarely clinical skill — it's visibility. Review Management & Fair Review Requests makes sure your expertise reaches the patients who actually need it.”

How much does review management & fair review requests typically cost?
We're transparent about pricing because we know vague "it depends" answers are frustrating. For review management & fair review requests, our fees start from $1,500/month (₹50,000/month in India) on the Practice tier (3-month minimum) and from $5,000/month (₹1,50,000/month in India) on the Hospital tier (6-month minimum); Enterprise is scoped custom (12-month minimum). The right tier depends on your practice size, market competition, and goals, and engagements run month to month once the minimum term ends. During your strategy call, we'll give you a specific quote with ROI projections.
How quickly will I see results from review management & fair review requests?
Honestly? It depends on the channel. If we're running Google Ads, you'll start getting calls within the first week or two. SEO is a longer play — expect initial movement in 3-4 months with serious traction by month 6-12. AI and automation changes (like chatbots and automated follow-ups) show impact almost immediately. During your strategy call, we'll map out a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and market.
Will this work for my specific specialty?
We work with 113+ medical specialties — from general dentistry to cardiac surgery to IVF clinics. The approach changes significantly by specialty because patients search and decide differently. A cosmetic surgery patient's journey is completely different from an orthopedic patient's. We tailor everything to your specialty's specific patient behavior patterns.
How long does it take to rank on Google for healthcare keywords?
It depends on your market competition and keyword difficulty. For local terms like "dentist in [city]," you can see movement in 2-4 months. For competitive specialty terms, expect 6-12 months for page-one rankings. We prioritize quick wins early (Google Business Profile, long-tail keywords) while building toward the high-volume terms that drive serious patient volume over time.
How do Google algorithm updates affect healthcare websites?
Healthcare sites are particularly impacted by Google's E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) standards. The Helpful Content and Core updates specifically target medical content quality. We build your SEO on physician-authored content, proper medical schema markup, and authoritative backlinks — so algorithm updates actually help your rankings rather than hurt them.
What's the difference between local SEO and organic SEO for my practice?
Local SEO focuses on Google Maps and "near me" searches — it's about dominating your geographic area and showing up in the Map Pack. Organic SEO targets broader informational and transactional searches ("best treatment for knee pain," "invisalign cost"). Most healthcare practices need both: local SEO for immediate-need patients and organic SEO for patients researching conditions. We build a strategy that covers both.
