🟢 Is Your Google Business Profile Really “Good”? Not So Fast, Doc. 🦷

Have you ever logged into your Google Business Profile and seen a green circle that says “Looks good” or “Complete”?

You probably felt like you were all set, right? 👍
But here’s the truth: That green circle doesn’t mean what you think it does. 😬

Let’s break it down.


🧠 What That Green Circle Really Means

That little green ring on your dashboard?
It only checks for the basics, like:

📞 Did you add your phone number?
🖼️ Did you upload at least one photo?
⏰ Did you list your business hours?

That’s it.

But here’s the weird part…
Just below that “complete” message, Google often tells you to:

🔗 Add a booking link
📸 Post more photos
🌐 Add your Google map to your website
📝 Fill out more business details
⭐ Get more reviews

🤔 Wait — is your profile complete or not?

Here’s the truth:
✅ That green circle just means you started.
🚫 It does not mean your profile is fully optimized to rank on Google Maps.


🕵️‍♀️ So What Does Help You Rank Higher?

Hidden right under the profile overview, there’s a row of cards that rotate with suggestions.
That’s where the real advice is!

Look for tips like:

📅 Add a booking link
📷 Improve photo quality and quantity
🌍 Add Google widgets to your website
💬 Get and respond to more reviews
📍 Turn on address autocomplete for patients

These are the things Google really wants to see.
They help your dental practice show up higher in local searches — and bring in more patients. 📈🦷


🧪 Want to Know How “Optimized” You Really Are?

We built a free Google Business Audit Tool to help you find out what’s missing in your profile.

🛠️ It checks over 16 important areas
📉 Most “complete” profiles only score around 40%
✅ It shows what you can fix for a better rank

🔍 You’ll learn:

  • What Google doesn’t see in your listing

  • What’s hurting your visibility

  • What to fix first for the biggest boost

And yes — it’s totally free. 🎁

🧑‍💻 Bonus: If you’re a marketing agency, you can even white-label the tool and add it to your website to get more clients!
