Google’s new anonymous reviews are changing how your clinic shows up in Google Search and Google Maps. In this episode, I break down what the new anonymous review feature actually is, how it affects your reputation, and the simple steps you can take to manage it without losing your mind. We cover when to flag a review, how to respond without breaking privacy rules, and I share copy-and-paste reply templates you can customize for your own clinic so you are never stuck wondering what to say again.
