Google Business Profile management in Kozhikode

• 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
• Clean-up of duplicate listings, wrong map pins, old addresses and closed branches that still appear on Maps
• 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
• 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 Kozhikode. In Kozhikode, the first check is how you appear for searches made around Mavoor Road.
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 happens in person or on video, whichever suits the drive from Kochi.

Kozhikode is the main hospital centre of northern Kerala, with Government Medical College Kozhikode, the Government General Hospital (Beach Hospital) and private hospitals such as Aster MIMS at Govindapuram and Baby Memorial Hospital near Arayidathupalam, plus MVR Cancer Centre at Poolacode. Specialist clinics, dental and skin practices, fertility centres and diagnostic labs cluster along Mavoor Road and the bypass, and the city takes referrals from Wayanad, Malappuram and Kannur. City families choose by doctor's name and neighbourhood, referral patients arrive from Wayanad and the hill areas, and Gulf-connected families research procedures from abroad and expect WhatsApp replies outside Indian working hours; searches mix Malayalam, English and Manglish.

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

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KozhikodeKozhikode has many private hospitals as well as the Government Medical College, so a hospital's overall name matters less than whether a family can quickly find the right consultant, OP day and casualty contact.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KozhikodeKozhikode's fertility clinics are often researched from Riyadh, Dubai or Doha before a couple flies home, so pages that explain the first visit, the tests involved and a realistic timeline do much of the work before the first call.
• Cancer centre marketing in KozhikodeKozhikode is a centre of Kerala's palliative care movement, with the Institute of Palliative Medicine on the medical college campus, so many families in the region already know home-based palliative support, and a cancer service is expected to speak about treatment gently, factually and without promises.
• Mental health clinic marketing in KozhikodeKozhikode has two public mental health institutions, the Government Mental Health Centre at Kuthiravattam and IMHANS beside the medical college, so a private mental health clinic here should explain plainly how it works, from appointment times and fees to privacy, rather than compete on reputation.

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 Kozhikode, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 180 km, four and a half to five hours by road. The train from Ernakulam takes roughly four hours and is often quicker than the drive. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Mavoor Road, Mananchira and Palayam, 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 Kozhikode 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.
