Should Doctors Have a Personal Google Business Profile and a Location Google Business Profile?

Should doctors have their own Google Business Profile, or should your clinic rely on one practice listing? This episode explains Google Business Profiles for doctors and healthcare practices, including when a separate practitioner profile can help your local SEO and Google Maps visibility, and when it can lead to duplicate listings, split reviews, and patient confusion.

You’ll also learn what to do when a doctor leaves your practice, but their Google Business Profile still shows your address, plus how to protect your clinic’s primary listing and strengthen your overall healthcare SEO.
