Reviews and Maps
For clinics, reviews influence whether patients shortlist you and help Google understand prominence. The work is not to fake or force reviews. The work is to ask ethically, respond properly, and keep service facts clear.
Review system
| Review surface | Good practice | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Requests | Ask real patients after legitimate interactions using a simple link. | Incentives, review gating, staff-written reviews, or pressure. |
| Responses | Reply politely, protect privacy, and acknowledge feedback. | Disclosing sensitive details or arguing publicly. |
| Recency | Keep a steady natural flow over time. | Bursts that look manipulated or long silent gaps. |
| Service language | Let real patients mention real services naturally. | Keyword-stuffed owner replies or scripted patient language. |
