Project Overview

Dr Singh Hospital, Rupnagar had an active Google Business Profile that was barely being used — generating just 158 interactions a month, with almost no calls or direction requests reaching the hospital. Patients searching for emergency, trauma, or specialist care nearby simply weren’t finding them. The hospital wanted its Google presence turned into a real channel for patient calls and bookings, without paid advertising.

The Starting Point

The profile was already live, but almost nothing about it was working for the hospital. Three things stood in the way.

  • Incomplete Profile

    Live but underused, with missing services, wrong category, and no regular updates to help it surface in local search.

  • Near-Zero Contact

    Just 158 profile interactions a month, with almost no calls, direction requests, or bookings reaching the hospital.

  • Invisible in Search

    Patients searching for emergency, trauma, or specialist care nearby weren’t finding the hospital on Google at all.
