Help more patients find your private medical clinic.

Yes. UK law does not allow prescription-only medicines to be advertised to the public, and that includes your website, Google profile and social media. The ASA, working with the MHRA and GPhC, has taken repeated action against ads for weight-loss medicines, including ads that name the medicine or refer to “jabs” or injection pens. We build content around the consultations and services you provide, such as a weight management or menopause consultation, rather than promoting a medicine.

We also keep health claims measured and supportable, avoid creating unrealistic expectations and are happy for your medical director or lead clinician to review content before it goes live.

The Authority plan includes multi-location strategy, giving each clinic its own optimised Google profile and visibility in its own area, so your locations don’t compete with each other.

A complete profile and corrected listings can start bringing GP and blood test bookings within a few weeks. Ranking near the top of the map and being recommended by AI tools generally takes three to six months, depending on how many clinics and online GP services compete locally, so begin well before the pre-summer travel vaccine and new-year health check peaks.

No. The plan rolls on a monthly basis and stops when you cancel ahead of your next billing date. Your clinic keeps the Google profile, healthcare listings and links we have put in place.

Patients want to know who will see them and that the clinic is properly regulated. Show each doctor’s GMC registration and each nurse’s NMC registration, along with relevant qualifications and special interests. Make your service regulator clear too — the CQC in England, Healthcare Improvement Scotland, Healthcare Inspectorate Wales or RQIA in Northern Ireland — and in England display your CQC rating once you have been rated.

Clear details about your complaints process, opening hours and what happens out of hours also build trust and help AI tools describe your clinic accurately.

Yes, in most cases. Clear prices for GP appointments, health checks, blood tests and vaccinations help patients decide and cut down on enquiries that don’t convert. Say what is included — for example, whether results are explained by a doctor — and whether follow-up appointments, prescriptions or extra tests cost more, so the full price is clear upfront.

Consultants who provide private care have extra duties under the CMA’s private healthcare order to share fee information with the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN). These duties are aimed at consultants and hospital-based care rather than GPs, but check with PHIN if your clinic works with consultants.

Corporate work can provide steady demand: local employers often want health assessments, occupational health support or travel vaccinations for staff. Relationships with consultants, physiotherapists and other local practitioners can bring appropriate referrals in both directions.

Recognition by private medical insurers can help with some services, but compare insurer fee levels with your self-pay prices before committing a large share of your diary.

A prompt, clear explanation of results, an easy way to book follow-ups and sharing information with the patient’s NHS GP where they consent all help build confidence. Some clinics offer membership plans that bundle appointments for individuals or families. Patients who feel well looked after are the ones most likely to return and recommend you.

Some services are. Travel clinics usually get busier before school holidays and popular travel periods, and patients often need certain vaccines several weeks before they leave, so publish clear lead times early. Health checks often see interest around the new year. Plan content and Google profile updates a few weeks ahead of these peaks.
