Google Business Profile management in Kannur

• Ownership recovery for listings created by a former employee, an old vendor or Google itself, so the hospital controls its own profile and the agency only manages it
• A primary category and secondary categories chosen by comparing your listing with the ones that appear above you for your main searches
• Every service and treatment entered with a short description, plus attributes such as wheelchair access and payment options
• Separate listings for departments such as a pharmacy, laboratory or casualty where Google's guidelines allow them
• Regular photo updates of the entrance, signage, reception and parking, taken so a first-time visitor finds the right gate
• Review replies drafted for your approval and worded so they never confirm that the reviewer was a patient

1. 1
   Audit. We list every listing tied to your name, phone and address, including duplicates and doctor listings, and compare yours with the three that appear first for your main searches in Kannur. We look at what a patient near Caltex junction sees when they search your specialty today.
2. 2
   Fix. We recover ownership, merge or remove duplicates, correct the pin, phone number and hours, and set categories and services. If Google asks for re-verification, we guide your staff through it step by step.
3. 3
   Keep it current. We publish posts when there is real news, add photos where needed and draft replies to new reviews, all approved by a contact you nominate.
4. 4
   Report. Each month we show calls, direction requests and website clicks from each listing, the review trend and where you appear for your priority searches, and agree the next month's focus. By day 90 you can see which searches around Kannur bring calls, and the budget follows them.

Kannur has Government Medical College Kannur at Pariyaram, about 25 km north of the city, the District Hospital in town and private hospitals such as Aster MIMS at Chala, along with clinics, labs and dental practices around Thavakkara and Fort Road. The Malabar Cancer Centre is at Thalassery, and the city takes patients from across the district up to the Karnataka border in the eastern hills. Many Kannur families have Gulf connections, and the city also serves patients from the hilly east of the district around Iritty and Taliparamba who often come in by bus; people search in Malayalam and English and trust doctors they hear about through family and community networks.

We run Google Business Profile management by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and fertility and IVF clinics in Kannur are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KannurKannur's private hospitals compete with the Government Medical College at Pariyaram and, for planned surgery, with Kozhikode and, for some families in the north of the district, Mangaluru, so each department needs its own page with its consultants and facilities.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KannurKannur International Airport at Mattannur has direct flights to several Gulf cities, so Gulf-based couples from the district can fly in close to home for consultations and treatment cycles, and a fertility clinic that plans around short leave and explains timelines clearly is easier to choose.
• Cancer centre marketing in KannurFamilies in Kannur often weigh treatment close to home against months of travel for chemotherapy or radiotherapy, so a cancer service in Kannur city should state plainly which treatments, screening and follow-up it offers on site, factually and without any suggestion of cure.
• Dialysis centre marketing in KannurPatients from hill towns such as Iritty and Alakode face long bus journeys for every session, so a Kannur centre that publishes its early-morning or evening shifts and explains how to join its list is easier for families to plan around.

Corrections to hours, pins, categories and duplicates usually take effect within days to a few weeks, although Google sometimes holds edits for review or asks for fresh verification. Better visibility in the Maps results tends to build over two to four months as details stay accurate and genuine reviews come in, and the searcher's distance from you always plays a part. Google Business Profile management is usually a monthly retainer, on its own or combined with review management or SEO. The scope depends on how many locations and doctor listings you have, how often you have news to post and photos to add, and how much clean-up the listings need at the start. A one-time clean-up without ongoing management can be quoted as a small project. See how our pricing works.

From Kannur, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 270 km, six to seven hours by road. The train from Ernakulam takes about six hours and is usually easier than the drive. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Thavakkara, Caltex junction and Thana, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• Google Business Profile management: how we work

A former staff member created our Google listing and nobody can log in now. Can you recover it?

Usually, yes. We first ask whoever holds the listing to transfer it, and if that fails we use Google's ownership request process, which can take a week or more and may need someone at your premises to complete verification. Once it is recovered, the hospital is set as owner and Adserr is added only as a manager.

Google shows our hospital or clinic in Kannur at the wrong spot or with an old phone number. How fast can that be fixed?

We submit corrections from the owner account, and they are usually reviewed within days, although Google may ask for proof such as photos of your signage or a short verification video. Wrong details often return if they also sit on Justdial or an old website, so we correct those sources at the same time.

We already appear in the top three on Maps. Do we still need ongoing management?

Positions on Maps shift with new reviews, competitors' changes and updates to Google's systems, and unmanaged listings drift as timings change or the public suggests edits. If you are already visible, the job becomes protecting the position by keeping details accurate and replying to reviews, which usually needs less work than a turnaround and is scoped that way.
