Ayurveda Clinic — Google Maps & GBP Domination
A well-established Ayurveda clinic in Kozhikode was invisible on Google Maps despite 10+ years of operation. A full GBP overhaul and local SEO push made them the #1 result for their core treatment queries within 90 days.
The Challenge
The clinic had been in business for over a decade but had never invested in digital presence. Their Google Business Profile was unclaimed for two years, listed under the wrong category, with no photos, no posts, and only 4 reviews. Competitors — some newer — were ranking above them because they had active profiles.
The doctor’s time was limited, so the solution had to be largely managed and systematized — not dependent on daily client input.
Project Overview
The Strategy
The approach was a structured 3-phase GBP and local SEO plan focused on quick wins first, then sustained growth.
- Full GBP audit — identified wrong primary category, missing services, empty description and no geo-tagged photos
- Reclaimed profile, corrected categories to “Ayurveda Clinic” + “Alternative Medicine Practitioner” and rewrote the business description with local keywords
- Uploaded 40 high-quality photos of the clinic interior, treatment rooms and team within week 1
- Built a systematic review generation process — WhatsApp follow-up after every consultation with a one-click review link
- Created a weekly Google Posts calendar covering treatments, offers and patient education
- Embedded clinic location and treatment keywords into Q&A section and attributes
- Built 12 local citations on Justdial, Sulekha, Practo, IndiaMART and health directories
