Medslots vs a local SEO or Google profile agency: what's the difference?

A local SEO or Google Business Profile agency usually manages a clinic's Google listing, keeps its citations (name, address, phone number) consistent across directories, requests and monitors reviews, and works on ranking the profile for local searches.

Published India-market pricing puts this kind of service at roughly 10,000 to 30,000 rupees a month, checked 17 Sep 2026. A clinic's separate website, if it has one, often carries its own maintenance cost, roughly 3,000 to 7,000 rupees a month for hosting, updates and backups on a standard small-business plan.

Beyond the local-profile work, many agencies also offer content marketing, paid ad campaigns (Google Ads, social ads) and custom marketing strategy, usually priced and scoped separately from a local SEO retainer.

Medslots keeps a clinic's Google Business Profile current: services, descriptions and posts, without the clinic having to remember to update them.

It manages reviews carefully: requests only go to patients who attended and were happy, with no bought reviews and no incentives, and any reply Medslots writes never confirms treatment details or anything about a person's visit in public.

It also checks whether AI answer tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's own AI answers recommend the clinic, and works on what those systems can find about it.

All of this sits inside the same flat 4,999 rupees a month per clinic that also covers WhatsApp replies and appointment booking, with no setup fee and no contract.

An agency is often the better fit for work outside keeping a listing current and handling patient messages.
