Booking Integration

PMS Deep-Link API —

Google Business Profile —
The Map Pack Advantage

B2B Angle — Clinic Facing

Free Marketing Audit includes GBP analysis for every unclaimed clinic:

  • GBP completeness score vs. top competitors
  • Missing categories (peptide therapy, IV, GLP-1)
  • Photo count + review response rate gap
  • Q&A section gaps costing discovery clicks
  • Delivered free · converts to paid claim
Consumer Angle — Map Pack Rankings

GlowRoute city pages outrank individual clinic GBPs for category searches:

  • AggregateRating schema from GlowScore + GBP data
  • LocalBusiness + MedicalBusiness JSON-LD on all pages
  • areaServed geo markup: city + county level
  • Near-me content from existing Haversine sort
  • Neighborhood guides: zero competition, high intent
📍

GBP enrichment runs inside the existing Apify subscription — adds fields: gbp_rating · gbp_photo_count · gbp_categories · gbp_has_booking — zero additional cost. Clinics with incomplete GBPs are flagged as warm leads.

Phase 5 · Social Media

UGC Curation Engine —
$0 Content, Infinite Reach
