02 / INTRODUCE THE PEOPLE

“What should I put on my clinic’s About page?”

Answer three questions: who are you, who will patients meet, and what can they expect?

Start with a short explanation of the clinic and its services. Then introduce the people delivering those services. A useful practitioner profile includes:

• Name and professional role.
• Relevant qualifications and registration information.
• Areas of practice described accurately.
• Languages spoken, where relevant.
• What their appointments typically involve.
• A current professional photograph.

Explain unfamiliar qualifications rather than assuming every visitor understands them. Use professional titles accurately and only describe someone as a specialist when that description is appropriate and verifiable.

Your founding story can add personality, but visitors should not have to read several paragraphs before finding out who will treat them.

03 / SHOW THE REAL CLINIC

“What photos should I use on my website?”

Use photographs that help someone recognize your clinic and prepare for a visit. Start with the entrance from the street, reception, consultation rooms, current practitioners, and relevant access features.

Think of the photographs as a preview of the visit. Someone should be able to arrive and recognize the place they saw online.

Avoid relying entirely on generic models or facilities that are not yours. Do not imply that you have equipment, staff, or services you do not offer. Obtain appropriate permission for identifiable people and check backgrounds for patient records or private information.

04 / BUILD TRUST FROM DAY ONE

“How can a new clinic build trust without many reviews?”

Make the facts you can demonstrate easy to find: practitioner credentials, accurate service descriptions, appointment information, genuine photographs, and straightforward contact details.

Explain the first appointment in enough detail that someone understands what they are booking. Include available fee information and how to ask questions.

If a practitioner has previous experience, describe it accurately. Do not imply that a new clinic has operated for years because a team member previously worked elsewhere.

As your clinic develops, gather honest feedback in line with applicable platform and professional requirements. Never invent testimonials or present examples as real patient experiences.

05 / USE REVIEWS RESPONSIBLY

“What should patient reviews tell a website visitor?”

Genuine reviews can help people understand the experience of dealing with your clinic: communication, appointment organization, and the environment. They should not be presented as proof that everyone will achieve the same clinical outcome.

Use reviews with appropriate permission, preserve their meaning, and identify their source and date where appropriate. Do not remove important context to turn a qualified comment into an unconditional endorsement.

Keep personal health information out of public content unless its use has been properly authorized and is appropriate. When replying publicly, avoid confirming patient status or discussing treatment details. Provide a suitable private route for resolving concerns.

06 / ANSWER BEFORE THEY ASK

“What should every treatment page explain?”

Write for someone considering the service for the first time. Give each treatment its own relevant explanation rather than repeating a generic description.

• What is the service, and what happens during the initial appointment?
• Who provides it?
• Is a consultation needed before deciding on treatment?
• What limitations, risks, or alternatives should someone discuss?
• What does it cost, or how is the price determined?
• What preparation might be needed?
• Where does the appointment take place?

Have clinical explanations reviewed by an appropriately qualified professional. The page should help someone understand the next step without trying to determine their suitability online.

Use balanced language. Avoid promises such as “guaranteed results” or “suitable for everyone.” Important limitations should be readable, not buried in tiny print.

07 / REMOVE FIRST-VISIT UNCERTAINTY

“What does someone need to know before their first visit?”

Give practical details alongside your service information. Explain the correct entrance, parking or public transport options, accessibility, when to arrive, and what to bring if anything is required.

Include the expected appointment duration, payment arrangements, and how to reschedule or cancel. If appointment lengths vary, explain that the booking confirmation will provide the relevant details.

Directions deserve particular attention when your clinic is inside a larger building or shares an address with other businesses.

08 / WRITE LIKE A PERSON

“How do I sound professional without confusing people?”

Use familiar words and explain technical terms when they are necessary. Professional writing is accurate and specific; it does not need to sound complicated.

Replace “a seamless patient journey” with a description of what you actually do, such as sending directions and preparation instructions before an appointment—if that is your process.

Read each paragraph and ask: “What does this help a patient understand?” If the answer is unclear, rewrite it or remove it.

09 / KEEP THE DETAILS CONSISTENT

“What information should match everywhere we appear online?”

Check your clinic name, address, telephone number, opening hours, website address, available services, and booking information across your website, business listings, social profiles, and appointment platforms.

Pay particular attention when a practitioner leaves, a service changes, or opening hours are updated. Old information can lead someone to request a service you no longer offer or arrive when you are closed.

Assign responsibility for maintaining these details. Keep a simple list of the places that need updating, so changes do not depend on whoever notices a mistake first.PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
