Client Snapshot

Our client is a multi-location healthcare network consisting of 158 practices across 17 different states.

Expanding rapidly through acquisitions, new partnerships, and into new markets left them struggling to maintain local presence and correct NAP business information across third-party websites.

This healthcare group was seeking an easily scalable solution to centrally manage local listings and simplify friction during onboarding.
Additionally, they wanted their executives to have better reporting and visibility into local SEO across the business.

overview

The Challenge

Challenges around scalability, local visibility management, and standardized workflows emerged as more locations/practices were acquired.

When Google, Facebook, Apple, and third-party sites were updated as new locations/partner practices joined the health system, the listing information was difficult to manage and had become decentralized. Discrepancies in data, duplicate listings, and siloed systems led to inefficient operations and affected local visibility.

Additional challenges included:
  • Managing local listings across 158 practices and 17 states
  • Fragmented business data spread across multiple third-party platforms
  • Operational inefficiencies tied to acquisitions and onboarding workflows
  • Difficulty maintaining consistent local visibility across markets
  • Lack of centralized reporting for local SEO performance and trends
  • Internal friction caused by disconnected systems and inconsistent processes
The organization needed a scalable local listings infrastructure capable of supporting rapid expansion while improving operational efficiency and local search visibility.
