Doctor branding in Vyttila

• Corrected, consistent profiles on the hospital website, Google, Practo, Justdial and professional directories
• A doctor directory or profile page with degrees stated exactly, registration status and registration number (the SMR/NMR number for medical doctors), special interests, languages and OPD timings at each consulting location
• 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
• Plain, current portraits for directory and profile use, not promotional imagery

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 Vyttila 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.

Vyttila is Kochi's transport crossroads, where the NH 66 bypass meets the roads to Tripunithura and the city centre and the Vyttila Mobility Hub brings in buses from across Kerala. VPS Lakeshore is nearby at Nettoor, and clinics, labs and dental, physiotherapy and paediatric practices line the junction and the apartment belt towards Thammanam, Chalikkavattom and Ponnurunni. Patients include commuters passing through the hub, families in the newer flats along the bypass and residents of older neighbourhoods; they search by the hub, the metro station and the flyover, and pick clinics they can reach without getting stuck at the junction.

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

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in VyttilaA hospital near Vyttila can be reached from most of the city and from buses arriving from the south and east, so it competes for planned visits with the city's larger hospitals and should make its departments and directions from the hub easy to find.
• Dental clinic marketing in VyttilaTravellers waiting at the Mobility Hub and commuters changing between bus, metro and water metro sometimes need urgent dental care, and a clinic within walking or auto distance of the hub with accurate hours can catch those searches.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in VyttilaCommuters through the Mobility Hub and the metro station, and residents of the flats along the bypass, often want fasting blood tests early in the morning before work, so early opening hours and home collection are worth showing prominently.
• Paediatric clinic marketing in VyttilaFamilies in the newer apartment blocks towards Thammanam, Chalikkavattom and Ponnurunni look for a paediatrician close to home with evening hours they can rely on.

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 Vyttila, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 16 km, 35 to 50 minutes by road. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Vyttila Mobility Hub, Vyttila metro station and Thammanam, 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.
