Why Your Google Business Profile Matters

For private practices and clinics, especially in competitive areas like Providence, Cranston, or Warwick, your GBP:

• Appears in Google Maps and the “3-Pack” — often above websites

• Shows your reviews, photos, hours, and services instantly

• Becomes the key driver of patient calls, visits, and trust

🟥 But if it’s outdated or unmanaged — you may be losing patients without knowing it.
