Podiatry marketing for podiatrists.

Clients find a podiatrist through a local search, then read the reviews. We build your site and run your search, reviews and ads.

GlisterFree local rank

Where do you rank against the clinics near you?

Find yourself on Doctify by name. We rank your reviews on Google, Doctify, WhatClinic, iWantGreatCare and Fresha against every podiatry clinic we find on them near you. No email needed.

What we run for you

Run by our team, from the first call.

The Bridgehead team can run these services for podiatrists as well as the software doing the work. The screens in the film are from care providers, with example data.

The free local rank, the website build, and our team running the services

People find a podiatrist through a local search, then check the reviews and whether the person is on the Health and Care Professions Council register. Many practitioners still call themselves chiropodists, and clients search for both words. Glister already reads reviews, ranks a provider against named rivals and builds the page that ads point to, for care providers. The software is open to podiatry practices, the website build is available too, and our team can run the services for you. This page covers all three.

Glister is open to podiatry clinics.
Start with the free local rank above, then confirm your details and sign in with a one-time link. Nothing is spent, sent or published until a person at your practice approves it. The website is available too, and so is our team running the services for you. The screens shown in the preview are a fictional practice with example data.

What people check

How podiatrists get chosen.

The HCPC register

Podiatrists and chiropodists are registered with the HCPC, and a client can look a practitioner up.

Google Maps and reviews

Most clients find a practice through a local search, then read the reviews.

The Royal College of Podiatry listing

Members in private practice can have a free listing on the College's website and on the NHS website, and clients compare it with your own site.

The rules

What your advertising has to follow.

Protected titles

Podiatrist and chiropodist are both protected titles. Using one without HCPC registration is a criminal offence when it is meant to deceive, and the HCPC does prosecute. Showing each practitioner's registration on their page answers the question a client is checking.

The ASA and the CAP Code

A claim that a treatment cures or relieves a condition needs evidence, and a client testimonial cannot stand in for it. Describe what the appointment involves rather than promising a result.

What we would publish first

The first three pages for podiatrists.

  1. 01

    A page for each practitioner

    Name, HCPC number, qualifications, interests and who they treat.

  2. 02

    A page for each problem you treat

    Ingrowing toenails, verrucas, nail and skin care, sports injuries: written around what the person searches for and what the first appointment involves.

  3. 03

    How to book and what it costs

    Prices, appointment lengths and where the clinic is, on the page.

The team behind it

Glister and your website are built by Bridgehead Communications. Bridgehead built and runs drsheelmehta.com, and has put UK care providers on the BBC and ITV and in the Daily Mirror, the Daily Express and the sector's trade titles.

Questions

Before you join.

Is a podiatrist the same as a chiropodist?

For registration, yes: both titles are protected and both sit on the HCPC register. The NHS describes podiatrists as also known as chiropodists. We would use whichever word your clients search for, and both where it helps.

Does my page need my HCPC number?

We would put it on each practitioner's page. It is the check a client makes before booking, and it lets them confirm your title is genuine.

Can I use Glister today?

Yes. Start with the free local rank on this page, then confirm your details and sign in with a one-time link. Nothing is spent, sent or published until a person at your practice approves it.

What does the website cost?

£2,500 plus VAT to build it, paid once or at about £208 a month plus VAT over a 12-month contract. Hosting, security and maintenance are free during the contract and £100 a month plus VAT after it. Uploads and changes are free for up to three hours a month during the contract. Beyond that they are £100 an hour plus VAT, quoted first, and up to three hours a month stay included after the contract if you take Managed.

Do I need Glister to have the website?

No. The website is sold on its own, and the software is a separate subscription.
