How to create and manage a Doctor.com business listing

Doctor.com is one of the few healthcare-exclusive directories recognized by Google, now operating as a Press Ganey solution. Unlike general business directories, Doctor.com distributes your provider data across 20+ partner sites — including Google, WebMD, and Healthgrades — which means a single Doctor.com profile feeds accurate practice information to the platforms patients actually use to find care.

For healthcare practices focused on local SEO, Doctor.com is a high-value citation source that directly strengthens your online presence across the sites that influence patient decisions.

How to Create Your Doctor.com Listing

Go to Doctor.com and create a provider account.

Verify your identity

Doctor.com uses NPI-based verification to confirm you are a licensed healthcare provider. Have your NPI number ready.

Complete your Master Profile

This is your single source of truth — the profile that syncs across the entire Doctor.com network. Enter your practice name, address, phone number, and website.

Add your clinical details

List your specialties, accepted insurance plans, office hours, languages spoken, and appointment availability.

Upload photos and a provider bio

Profiles with professional headshots and a written bio perform significantly better than text-only listings.

Best Practices for Managing Your Listing

✓

Maximize your ProfilePoints™. Doctor.com scores profile completeness and surfaces higher-scoring providers first. Fill out every available field to rank above competitors in Doctor.com search results.

✓

Keep insurance and office hours current. Outdated information erodes patient trust and creates NAP inconsistencies that can hurt your local search rankings.

✓

Respond to every patient review. Doctor.com’s ReviewHub™ aggregates reviews from across the web. Responding to all reviews — positive and negative — signals engagement and builds credibility.

✓

Enable online scheduling. Doctor.com supports universal scheduling that syncs with your EHR/PM system. Patients who can book online convert at higher rates than those who have to call.

✓

Audit your profile quarterly. Doctor.com pulls from multiple data sources. Check for data drift — especially after office moves, insurance changes, or staff updates.

A fully optimized Doctor.com profile feeds your practice information across 20+ healthcare platforms simultaneously. Combined with a broader healthcare SEO strategy, consistent directory citations are one of the foundational signals that help practices rank in local search results.
