Doctor branding in Cherthala

• A name search audit showing what appears for the doctor's name, including outdated clinic addresses, wrong phone numbers and old hospital affiliations
• Monthly educational articles in English and Malayalam on the conditions and procedures the doctor handles most
• Short explainer videos answering patients' common questions, filmed between OPD sessions
• A LinkedIn profile written for professional colleagues, conferences and academic standing
• Advice on whether the doctor needs an individual Google practitioner listing or should be linked to the hospital's Google Business Profile, so the two do not compete
• Plain, current portraits for directory and profile use, not promotional imagery

1. 1
   Discovery. We talk with the doctor about their specialty, the conditions patients most often ask them about, the cases colleagues refer to them and how comfortable they are on camera.
2. 2
   Clean-up. We search the doctor's name as a patient in Cherthala would, and correct wrong numbers, old addresses and duplicate listings before creating anything new.
3. 3
   Content. We agree a monthly list of patient questions and turn them into articles, videos and posts, drafted by us and approved by the doctor.
4. 4
   Review. Each month we check what appears for the doctor's name and specialty, profile visits and the enquiries they led to, and adjust the topics.

Cherthala has a Government Taluk Headquarters Hospital and private hospitals in the town and along NH 66, with clinics, labs and dental centres spread along the highway and west towards Arthunkal. Because Kochi's large hospitals are under an hour away, Cherthala providers mostly compete for everyday outpatient, maternity, dental and emergency care. Patients include coir and fishing families, seafood-processing workers from the Aroor and Chandiroor belt, staff at Infopark Cherthala in Pallippuram and commuters who work in Kochi.

We run doctor branding by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and ayurveda hospitals in Cherthala are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in CherthalaThe feast at St Andrew's Basilica in Arthunkal each January draws large crowds from across the state, including pilgrims returning from Sabarimala, so hospitals with casualty services nearby should keep hours, directions and emergency numbers current through the festival weeks.
• Ayurveda hospital marketing in CherthalaBeach resorts at nearby Mararikulam run ayurveda programmes for overseas and domestic guests, while Cherthala's own families use ayurveda for routine care, so a centre should decide which group it is speaking to before it advertises, and keep its claims free of the cure promises the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act restricts.
• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in CherthalaSeafood processing in the Aroor and Chandiroor belt involves long hours of repetitive hand work, and desk staff at Infopark Cherthala add another group with neck and back complaints, so physiotherapy clinics that offer slots outside shift and office hours can serve both.
• Maternity hospital marketing in CherthalaYoung families who commute to Kochi often weigh delivering there against delivering close to home, so a Cherthala maternity hospital needs to make its obstetricians, newborn care and rooms easy to check online.

Listing corrections and a proper profile page are usually in place within the first four to six weeks. A recognisable professional presence built on regular content takes many months of consistent publishing, and we do not promise follower numbers or patient counts. Doctor branding usually starts with a set-up project for the audit, listing clean-up and directory pages, followed by a monthly retainer for articles and video. Scope depends on how many doctors are included, how much video is wanted and whether content is needed in both English and Malayalam. Hospitals usually scope the work per department or for the whole consultant team, and fees are never linked to patient numbers. See how our pricing works.

From Cherthala, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 45 km, roughly an hour to an hour and a half by road. Cherthala station is on the coastal line, with direct trains to Ernakulam. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Arthunkal, Thuravoor and Pattanakkad, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• Doctor branding: how we work

One of our consultants sees patients at more than one hospital or clinic. How is that shown?

Each consulting location gets its own entry on the doctor's directory profile, with days, timings and that institution's booking contact, and we keep Google, Practo and each institution's own pages consistent with it. We check with each hospital before listing it, since some have their own rules on how visiting consultants are presented.

Who should pay for doctor branding, the doctor or the hospital?

Usually the hospital or clinic. The NMC's October 2026 advertising guidelines say a doctor should not engage a third party for marketing medical services (clause 8.1(ii)), so we normally work for the institution on its consultants' directory pages and patient education. If a doctor commissions work personally after taking legal advice, we limit it to correcting inaccurate information and patient education, and agree in writing who owns the accounts and content.

Can doctor branding include ads that promote me personally?

No. We do not run paid ads or boosted posts that promote an individual doctor to patients. The NMC's October 2026 advertising guidelines bar doctors from soliciting patients and self-promotion and bar hospital communication from portraying an individual doctor promotionally, and the codes for dentists and AYUSH practitioners also restrict soliciting patients. Hospital pages and ads for a department can list the consultants who work there factually, and educational content can be shared, but check any specific plan with your legal adviser.
