Clinics, dental and medical practices

The marketing audit for healthcare practices

Listings, reviews and trust signals for practices.

A practice is chosen on trust: the listing, the reviews and how the practice answers them, and whether booking is simple. EchoPilot checks the Google Business Profile and its category, the review rating and response to negative reviews, the online booking path, the privacy policy page and the email domain's authentication records.

The medical and dental rule set requires an online booking path, a response to negative reviews within seven days and a linked privacy policy, and skips the published-pricing rule. On the higher plans EchoPilot drafts posts and review replies as approval-gated drafts: a person at the practice reads and approves each one before it is published. EchoPilot does not review clinical content or make any regulatory assessment.

After the first audit

A typical first 90 days

The memo lists at most eight actions, ordered gating first, then by severity. For a healthcare business the first ones usually look like this; yours come from your own audit's failures.

  1. Claim the Google Business Profile, set the primary category to the practice type, and check the hours.
  2. Add or fix the online booking path and the clickable phone number on the homepage.
  3. Set a 48-hour routine for replying to reviews, starting with any rated two stars or less.
  4. Link the privacy policy from every page and set SPF, DKIM and DMARC on the practice's email domain.

Each action in a real memo carries the rule ids behind it, concrete steps, an effort estimate and an owner: you, or EchoPilot drafting for your approval.

Questions from healthcare

Does EchoPilot read patient data?

No. It reads public pages, the public Google Business Profile, public reviews and public social profiles. It never connects to practice management or patient systems.

Are review replies written for me?

On Growth and Managed, replies are drafted from the review text as approval-gated drafts. A person at the practice edits and approves each reply; nothing is posted automatically.

Does the audit cover advertising or regulatory rules for health practices?

No. It checks marketing signals: listing, reviews, booking, site basics and analytics. Whether content meets professional or advertising rules is for the practice and its advisers to judge.

Which rules are specific to medical and dental?

The booking path (C5), negative-review response (R5) and privacy policy (W12) are required; the published-pricing rule (C7) is skipped.
