A four-site clinic group losing ground on Google.

The owner of four physiotherapy clinics in one city sees new patients arrive less often. Two newer clinics nearby have overtaken them on Google.

A realistic scenario, not a customer story. What Market Sonar does for a small business · All use cases

The situation

The group's reviews are spread over four Google listings, and nobody reads them together. Competitors' ratings are checked by hand, when someone remembers, and there is no record of who answers their reviews, or how fast.

The sources switched on

Reviews & listings
Every location of each competitor, and the group's own four, with their Google reviews, collected every day.
Social
The competitors' Instagram accounts.
Offers and Website
Left off: in this market, prices are not published online and the websites rarely change.

Example: invented businesses and figures. Both clinics that overtook the group answer every review, within days.

Where it was worked: Reviews & listings

The guide puts every location on one map with its rating, the group's and the competitors'. The reviews tab reads what customers say about each business.

At the lowest-rated location, waiting time and booking by phone come up most. At the two clinics ahead, reviews mention online booking and replies from the practitioner.

Example: the group's four locations and their Google ratings
Chartrons 132 reviews4.1
Bastide 71 reviews4.3
Saint-Michel 81 reviews4.5
Caudéran 104 reviews4.6

Example: the group's own locations, invented figures.

The decision

Answer every review within two days, starting with Chartrons, and add online booking there first.

Each briefing says whether the gap to the two clinics ahead closes, and the full dossier's form guide shows it location by location.
