I know how busy things get in GP practice life, but I wanted to share a free My Business tool.

I use it to help boost NHS GP surgeries in Greater Manchester improve their visibility online, improve patient engagement, and grow their patient list, without spending a penny on ads.

Message me GMB boost for details.

Running a GP practice is hard enough without having to become a marketing expert.

I help medical practices focus on what actually supports patient growth — without adding pressure or noise.

These are the five areas GP practices ask us for help with most.

Remember... You don’t need to do everything at once — just the right things in the right order.

This week, 3 GP practice managers asked me about how to respond to reviews. Here's the truth: Your response shows more about your GP surgery than the original review.⁠
⁠
❓️The Corporate Approach:
'We apologise for any inconvenience. Please contact our practice manager.'⁠
⁠
💛 The Human Touch approach:
'Thank you for your feedback, Sarah. We're genuinely sorry your experience didn't meet the high standards of care we strive for. Patient wellbeing is our priority, and we'd welcome the opportunity to discuss this further.

Please get in touch with our practice manager, Emma, on [number].'⁠
⁠
What makes this human?⁠
🤍 Uses the patient's name⁠
🤍 Shows genuine emotion ('genuinely sorry')⁠
🤍 Connects to practice values ('caring standards')⁠
🤍 Provides a real person to contact ('Emma')⁠
⁠
The result: Future patients see a medical practice that cares about every patient experience, not just the positive ones.⁠
⁠
This is The in - making every interaction sound like it comes from people who genuinely care.⁠

If you're a Greater Manchester GP practice still waiting for referrals to fill your patient list, you're not alone. Word of mouth works for a while, but patients today research practices online BEFORE they even call.

Here's where 'The Human Touch in Healthcare Marketing' starts - with 3 simple Google My Business hacks:

🔍 Hack #1: Complete your GMB profile 100% - show patients you care about details

📸 Hack #2: Add recent photos - let them see the caring faces behind the practice

⏰ Hack #3: Keep opening hours updated - respect their time, especially during busy health seasons

We recently helped a Salford GP practice move beyond word of mouth using strategies like these. Their GMB score went from 2.7 to 3.7 stars within 12 months (now 4.7), and patient registrations increased by 10% (industry standard 3%).

The difference? We made their digital presence as caring as their medical care.

If your GP surgery or medical practice isn’t getting a steady flow of GMB reviews. Follow these two steps.

1) For the next 7 days, ask every single patient for a GMB (FB or BING) review

2) Spend 15 mins at the end of each day liking and responding positively to any reviews - negative OR positive.

🔢 Remember, marketing is a numbers game, so encourage the whole GP practice, including nurses and clinicians, to get involved.

After 7 days, do it all again and watch online trust and your patient list grow.

➡️ Make sure to follow for local and tips.
