Google Business Profile management in Kochi

• 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
• OPD timings and holiday hours set ahead of Onam, Vishu, Christmas and Eid, so the listing never shows open when the doors are shut
• Separate listings for departments such as a pharmacy, laboratory or casualty where Google's guidelines allow them
• Google posts in Malayalam and English when there is real news, such as a camp, a new consultant or seasonal advice, checked for advertising compliance, with any doctor named shown with qualifications, registration status and registration number (for medical doctors, the SMR/NMR number the NMC's October 2026 guidelines expect)

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 Kochi. We look at what a patient near Kaloor 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. The first review can be held at your hospital or clinic or at our office.

Kochi's private hospital market is crowded, with hospitals such as Aster Medcity at Cheranalloor, Amrita Hospital at Ponekkara, Lisie Hospital in Kaloor, Lourdes Hospital in Pachalam and Renai Medicity in Palarivattom, alongside the General Hospital in the city centre and Government Medical College Ernakulam at Kalamassery. Between them sit specialist consulting rooms, dental and skin practices, fertility centres, diagnostic chains and physiotherapy clinics, many led by consultants who also work in hospitals. The city takes referrals from across central Kerala, Lakshadweep and Gulf Malayali families. City residents search by neighbourhood, metro station or doctor name rather than 'Kochi'; referral patients from other districts and GCC families research in English before travelling and expect quick WhatsApp replies.

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

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KochiSeriously ill patients from Lakshadweep are regularly brought to Kochi by air or sea, and families from across central Kerala come here for specialist surgery, so a Kochi hospital's departments are often compared by relatives who must decide quickly and from a distance.
• Dental clinic marketing in KochiNRI families on summer, Onam or Christmas visits often try to fit dental treatment into a short stay in Kochi, so clinics that publish realistic timelines and answer WhatsApp enquiries from abroad are easier to choose.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KochiKochi fertility clinics often see couples where one partner works in the Gulf, so consultations and treatment cycles have to be planned around a few weeks of leave, and clear timelines, first consultations by video and careful handling of records matter.
• Ayurveda hospital marketing in KochiCochin International Airport is a main arrival point for overseas visitors to central Kerala, so ayurveda centres in and around Kochi compete for visitors as well as residents, which makes clear English information essential, with none of the cure claims the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act restricts.
• Dialysis centre marketing in KochiGulf Malayalis on dialysis who come home on leave need their sessions arranged before they land, so Kochi centres that explain how to book holiday dialysis and which records to send in advance are 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.

• 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 Kochi 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.
