Why Local Search Matters in Healthcare
Patients aren’t browsing randomly. They’re searching “dentist near me”, “24-hour pharmacy” or “child clinic” on their phones. That’s local search optimization at work. In healthcare, accurate information can literally save lives—and appointments.
- 91% of patients prioritise correct details.
- 64% will switch providers over wrong data.
- Up to 186% more clicks happen when local listings sync across publishers.
Sounds simple? Not quite. The ecosystem is messy. Google, Bing, Apple Maps. Facebook, Yelp, niche portals. Each one needs spot-on data. Hours, address, phone, even available specialists. Inconsistency hurts your visibility and costs patient trust.
The Juuced Marketing Approach: Strengths and Gaps
Juuced Marketing, a recognised player, nails a lot:
-
Comprehensive Publisher Coverage
They update your info across major and minor platforms. -
Regular Content Updates
Fresh details signal “active” to search engines. -
Engagement Across Channels
Social prompts, reviews, feedback loops. -
Data-Driven Strategies
Analytics that guide your next move.
Impressive. But here’s where they fall short:
-
Manual Bottlenecks
Updates still depend on human checks. Slow. -
Limited AI Automation
No daily content auto-generation. You need more than static pages. -
Missing Community Pulse
Peer insights? Collaboration? Not really baked in.
That’s where CMO.SO comes in. We lean on AI and community to fill these gaps.
