Search just changed. Most practices haven’t noticed.
Three years ago, ranking on Google was the entire game. It isn’t anymore.
Nobody types “doctor near me” anymore.
They ask their phone full sentences. “Who’s the best primary care doctor in Lafayette?” “Which clinic in Houma takes my insurance for a same-day appointment?” “Where should I go for back pain in Thibodaux?” These conversational queries go to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews — and if your practice hasn’t been built to show up in those answers, you’re invisible at the exact moment a patient decides who to call.
The Google map pack is the new front page.
Around eighty percent of the clicks for “doctor near me” go to the three practices in the Google map. If your Google Business Profile isn’t optimized — categories, services, photos geotagged to your actual city, review velocity, posts, Q&A — your beautiful website might as well not exist. We’ve watched practices with expensive websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.
Your website’s code is doing more harm than your content.
Most medical practice websites are missing the technical foundation search engines and AI tools need to understand them: structured schema markup (telling Google you’re a Physician, MedicalClinic, or specialty practice — not a generic business), clean meta descriptions that show up in search snippets, alt text on every image, semantic heading structure, and WCAG-compliant accessibility. You don’t need to know how any of this works — but if your developer didn’t build it in, your practice gets skipped over by the algorithm and exposed to ADA lawsuits at the same time.

How does Abode track every lead back to its true source?
Most agency reports stop at traffic. Abode ties each lead to where it really came from, including ChatGPT and other AI assistants, so you can see what your marketing is worth.
Every form and call tagged. Each form lead carries its true source, from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google to the map listing and social. With call tracking, phone calls carry a source too.
A “how did you find us?” check. Google AI Overviews and AI-assisted searches can look like ordinary Google or direct traffic. A short required question on every form, and on your phone intake script, catches the ones analytics miss.
A monthly report that ends in dollars. AI visits, then leads, then new patients, then value, so you can see your return. We ask for your average patient value to estimate it.
We report what the data shows. We do not guarantee rankings, AI citations or lead counts.
Where is your practice actually losing patients?
Five quick questions. We send a custom Visibility Plan to your email — showing exactly where patients are searching and where your practice is missing.
Where should we send your plan?
You’ll get a custom Visibility Plan based on your answers, plus a short Loom video walking through exactly where your firm is being missed.

Eight things most practices hire eight different people to do.
We do all of it under one roof, market-exclusive — meaning we only work with one practice per specialty per city.
01AI search optimization
The new front page of the internet is a ChatGPT or Perplexity answer — not a Google results page. We engineer your practice to be the name AI tools cite when a patient asks “best primary care doctor in Lafayette” or “where to go for sciatica in Houma.” That means structured data the LLMs can parse, authoritative content on every service you provide, real third-party citations across medical directories (Healthgrades, Vitals, Zocdoc, WebMD), and ongoing monitoring of how you appear across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews. If you’re not the practice being mentioned, you’re invisible at the moment the patient decides who to call.
02Google Business Profile & map pack
Around eighty percent of clicks on “doctor near me” go to the three practices in the Google map — not the ten organic results below. We rebuild your Google Business Profile from the inside out: correct primary and secondary specialty categories, every service listed with real descriptions (insurance accepted, new-patient availability, telehealth options), photos geotagged to your actual city, weekly posts, Q&A populated with real patient questions, and a review velocity that signals to Google you’re an active, trusted practice. We’ve watched practices with expensive websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.
03Local SEO & citations
The signals that move local ranking aren’t on your website — they’re spread across the open web. We run Yext-backed citation cleanup across 70+ medical and general directories so your practice name, address, and phone match everywhere, build the internal linking structure search engines need to crawl your service pages, and create dedicated content hubs for every condition or service you treat. The result is that Google starts to see your practice as the authority on each specialty service in each city you serve, not a generic “doctor” listing.
04Google Ads & lead capture
Most medical Google Ads campaigns burn money on click volume that never becomes a booked appointment. We build conversion-tracked campaigns around patient lifetime value — high-intent keywords like “new patient primary care Lafayette” or “same day appointment Houma,” tightly geo-targeted, with negative keyword lists that filter out medical students, job seekers, and information-only searches. Every form, phone call, and chat is tied back to the campaign and ad group that produced it, so we can show you cost-per-booked-appointment, not just cost-per-click. When something stops working we kill it; when something is winning we scale it.
05Review automation
Reviews are the single biggest local ranking factor outside of Google Business Profile setup, and they’re the thing your front-desk team will not consistently do. We install a multi-step SMS and email review request sequence that fires automatically after a visit — nudging the patient at the right intervals, routing happy patients to Google and unhappy ones to a private feedback form first. We follow HIPAA-aware language so no protected info ever shows up in a request. We also draft and post your responses to every review so neither praise nor criticism sits unanswered. The compounding effect is what eventually pushes you into the map pack and keeps you there.
06Website design & updates
Most medical practice websites were built once, three to five years ago, and have not been touched since. We build (or rebuild) yours on WordPress hosted at Kinsta — fast, secure, and easy for us to maintain — with dedicated service pages, provider bios that read like a human wrote them, location pages for every city you serve, and HIPAA-aware appointment request forms. Then we keep it current: new blog posts, page refreshes when services shift, schema updates when Google changes its rules, and quarterly audits to catch anything broken. Your website should be working harder every month, not quietly decaying.
07Technical SEO & ADA accessibility
The unglamorous backbone most agencies ignore. We implement medical-specific schema markup (Physician, MedicalClinic, MedicalSpecialty), optimize meta titles and descriptions for every page, write descriptive alt text, fix heading structure, audit your site against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and publish an accessibility statement. Together that’s what makes Google understand your practice — and what keeps you out of an ADA lawsuit.
08Content & social that positions you as the expert
Two posts a week across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn — written in your voice, designed to position you as the trusted authority on your specialty in your city. We follow HIPAA-aware language so no protected info ever shows up in a post. We also monitor mentions and reviews so a bad day on the internet doesn’t become a reputation problem. Plus blog content written to be cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity when patients ask AI tools health questions.

What practice owners actually ask.
Marketing built for patients who search first.
Patients in Louisiana look up a practice before they book: who the doctors are, what the office looks like, and what other patients say. A clear Google profile, accurate listings, and a website that answers real questions help a new patient feel comfortable before the first visit.
Abode Marketing builds that presence for medical practices, with service and provider pages, review requests that respect patient privacy, listings that match, and real photos of your team and space. We never need patient information to do our work.
Free visibility audit. No pitch attached.
Twenty minutes. I look at your Google rankings, AI search visibility, GBP, ADA exposure, and the practices patients are choosing instead of yours. You leave with a report whether we work together or not.
