Doctor branding in Kodungallur

• A name search audit showing what appears for the doctor's name, including outdated clinic addresses, wrong phone numbers and old hospital affiliations
• A one-line professional description agreed with the doctor, naming a specific clinical interest, used everywhere in place of a slogan
• 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

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 Kodungallur 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.

Kodungallur has a government Taluk Headquarters Hospital, and private hospitals such as Modern Hospital and the CRAFT fertility hospital at Chandappura are also in the town. Clinics, labs and dental and eye practices serve the coastal panchayats from Azhikode and Eriyad to Mathilakam, and the town also takes patients from across the river in Ernakulam district. Many households here have someone working in the Gulf, so treatment is often decided with a relative abroad on a WhatsApp call, and families planning fertility treatment or a procedure often research in English before they decide. Fishing families from Azhikode and Eriyad tend to go to the nearest clinic they know by name.

We run doctor branding by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and dental clinics in Kodungallur are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KodungallurDuring the Bharani festival at the Kodungallur temple, usually in March or April, the town fills with visitors for several days, so a hospital's casualty hours, ambulance number and directions around the temple area need to be right before the crowds arrive.
• Dental clinic marketing in KodungallurAlong the coast from Azhikode to Mathilakam, many households plan check-ups, fillings and crowns for when someone is back from the Gulf, so a clinic that publishes realistic treatment timelines and takes bookings ahead on WhatsApp suits the way these families plan.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KodungallurKodungallur already has a dedicated fertility hospital, so a fertility clinic here is compared by people who read in detail, often in English, before they decide, and who want to know how many visits are involved.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in KodungallurPatients coming in from the coastal panchayats or from across the district border usually want tests, results and the consultation done in one trip, so a diagnostic centre that states its report times and opening hours clearly saves them a second journey.

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 Kodungallur, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 30 km, roughly 45 minutes to an hour by road. The drive runs up NH 66 through North Paravur. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Kodungallur temple, Chandappura and Kothaparambu, 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.
