Best Practices: Managing your Google Business Profiles

Tip #1: Complete verification ASAP

Verification is the last step before your profile goes live with the “Book Online” button. Complete it quickly to avoid delays in receiving bookings.

Tip #2: Keep your profile information consistent

Google checks for discrepancies. Make sure your practice name, address, and phone number match across Zocdoc, Google, and your website.

Tip #3: Use one Google account for all locations

Especially for group practices, using a single Google account for all providers and practice Google Business Profiles helps with visibility, organization, and verification.

Tip #4: Monitor your verification status

You can view and track the status of all profiles in your Zocdoc account under the Google Business Profile tab. Zocdoc will also send follow-ups if action is needed.

Tip #5: Avoid duplicate listings

If Google detects multiple profiles for the same provider or location, it may suppress one or flag it for review. Use the Zocdoc flow to create/claim Google Business Profiles correctly to avoid this issue.
