The Challenge
What Southside Family Medicine Was Facing
A multi-provider family practice in Birmingham's Southside neighborhood was losing patients to newer practices that had invested in digital marketing. Their Google Maps listing was incomplete, they had a 3.2-star rating, and their website was built on an outdated platform.
- ✕ Google Business Profile incomplete , missing 60% of available fields
- ✕ 3.2-star Google rating with only 23 reviews (competitors had 100+)
- ✕ Website loading in 8.4 seconds on mobile (industry average: 3s)
- ✕ No presence in the Google Local 3-Pack for any "doctor near me" searches
- ✕ Inconsistent NAP data across 150+ online directories
