Google My Business Multiple Listing

[Crystal.w]

Can a specialist doctor who operates out of several locations have multiple GMB listings? She operates under her company brand name if that makes a difference. Thank you community!

Hello there,

Of course, you can, there are many businesses that add their branches into GMB.

Yeah definitely you can have as many locations as you want you will of course have to verify each one of those addresses with the postcard verification and confirm the code upon receiving it. I would certainly maintain consistency with the business name, using street names at the end to decipher between them.

Hi Crystal,

I might need a bit more info on this to offer best guidance. Am I understanding this correctly:

• Your client is Dr. Jones.

• Dr. Jones has her own office at 123 Main St.

• Dr. Jones does not own any other offices, but she sees patients at the local hospital and at the local health care clinic, as well as seeing them at her office.

• You want to know if Dr. Jones is then eligible for 3 Google My Business listings since she sees patients at 3 locations, one of which she owns, and two of which she doesn't.

Is this the scenario, or would you describe it differently?

Hi Miriam,

Thanks for asking!

Yes that is correct, she has one owned clinic and the others are multi-doctor clinics that are privately owned by others.  She sees patients at all three clinics.

I also just realised that she doesn't have phone numbers at the other two clinics.  Her secretary works at her own clinic and all patients make appointments through her secretary for all locations.

Does this make it clearer?

Thank you Miriam, Crystal

Hi Crystal,

You're welcome, and from the additional details you've provided, I would recommend:

1. Just one GMB listing at her central location with her single phone number

2. Build content on the website and socially around her privileges at other clinics

Hope this helps!

Thank you Miriam,

Will building the local landing pages help her rank higher in the local pack for searches in those areas?

Thank you, Crystal

Hi Crystal,

No, the purpose of building the landing pages would be to gain an organic presence, not a local pack presence. Without a local business listing in these other locations, she's not going to be included in the local packs, and from your description, she's not eligible for these other listings. So, the goal of creating content surrounding her affiliation with other institutions in other locations would be organic rankings for these topics.
