Online reputation management in Tirur

• A review request routine by WhatsApp or SMS after discharge or consultation, sent only to patients who agreed to be contacted
• A negative review protocol: a privacy-safe public reply, internal escalation and an offline route to resolve the complaint
• Flagging of spam, fake and abusive reviews through each platform's own reporting process
• Separate monitoring of individual doctors' ratings on Google and Practo
• Alerts for new reviews and for mentions of your institution or doctors in news and social media
• A monthly insight note for management on what patients praise and complain about, such as billing clarity, waiting time or parking

1. 1
   Baseline. We record ratings, review volume, reply rate and recent complaint themes on every platform, and compare them with nearby competitors in Tirur. We look at what a patient near Thazhepalam sees when they search your specialty today.
2. 2
   Set up. We claim and correct listings, agree when and how patients are asked for reviews, and build consent capture into the request.
3. 3
   Train. We run short sessions for front-desk and billing staff on asking every patient for a review the same neutral way, with no targets or pressure, and on logging complaints properly.
4. 4
   Reply and report. We draft replies to every review for quick approval, flag serious ones to you as a priority, and report rating trends and recurring issues every month. The first review happens in person or on video, whichever suits the drive from Kochi.

Tirur has the government District Hospital along with private hospitals, clinics, labs and scan centres around the railway station and the town centre. It is one of Malappuram district's main business towns and serves the coast from Ponnani to Tanur and inland towns such as Kuttippuram and Valanchery, with Kottakkal's hospitals a short drive away. Patients include traders and their families, fishing communities from Tanur and the coast, and many Gulf-linked households; they search in Malayalam, often by doctor's name or 'near Tirur railway station', and expect quick WhatsApp replies.

We run online reputation management by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and fertility and IVF clinics in Tirur are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in TirurA private hospital in Tirur is compared with the District Hospital in town and with the larger private hospitals a short drive inland, so its strongest pages are the ones that name the consultant, give the OP days and say what the casualty can handle on the spot.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in TirurAround Ponnani and Tanur, where many husbands work in the Gulf, fertility treatment is often planned for a single leave period, so a clinic that explains what can be done in that window, and what can be prepared before it, fits how couples plan.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in TirurPatients from Tanur, Ponnani and Kuttippuram often come into Tirur for scans they cannot get closer to home, so a scan centre that lists which scans it offers, how to prepare and when reports are ready saves them a wasted journey.
• Maternity hospital marketing in TirurMany women in Tirur and the coastal panchayats look specifically for a lady gynaecologist and prefer to deliver close to home, so women obstetricians' names, OP days and labour-room facilities need to be visible in Malayalam.

A working request routine and reply process is usually running within the first month, and review volume often rises once staff start asking consistently. The average rating moves slowly, over several months, because it reflects patient experience, which we can help you hear and act on but cannot manufacture. Reputation management is usually a monthly retainer, often combined with Google Business Profile management. Scope depends on the number of locations and doctors monitored, the platforms covered, expected review volume and whether staff training is included. Extra support during a review attack or a media issue can be added on agreed terms. See how our pricing works.

From Tirur, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 130 km, roughly three and a half hours by road. Tirur is on the main railway line, and the train from Ernakulam takes roughly three hours. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Tirur railway station, Thazhepalam and Tirur bus stand, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• Online reputation management: how we work

Can you write reviews for us, or get our staff and their families to post them?

No. Reviews written by the business or its staff, bought, or rewarded with a discount break Google's policies, can be removed by the platform and can be treated as misleading under consumer-protection law. What we do is make it easy for every patient who agreed to be contacted to leave their own review, asked the same neutral way, and reply to every review that comes in. The NMC's October 2026 advertising guidelines also bar doctors and hospitals from soliciting fake, paid or misleading reviews, and say a doctor should not request reviews for professional promotion on social media, so we agree with you, and your legal adviser where needed, who sends review requests and how.

A review accuses one of our doctors of negligence. What should we do?

Do not reply in anger or discuss the treatment, even if the reviewer has shared details publicly. Escalate it to management and your legal adviser first, then post a short, privacy-safe reply inviting the person to contact a named senior person directly. We draft that reply and the internal escalation note, and treat such reviews ahead of routine replies.

How long before the Google rating of our hospital or clinic improves?

Review volume can rise within weeks once staff ask consistently, but the average rating changes slowly, especially if you already have many reviews. It improves fastest when the complaints patients repeat, such as waiting time or billing, are actually fixed, which is why we report those themes to management every month.
