If your clinic’s Google Business Profile has a “Q&A” section sitting empty—or worse, filled with random questions—you’re leaving a powerful SEO and conversion opportunity on the table.
Google’s Q&A section isn’t just a customer service feature—it’s a mini-FAQ that helps your clinic rank for voice searches, long-tail keywords, and patient intent queries.
Whether you run a dental clinic, physiotherapy practice, foot care office, or med spa, this post shows you:
- Why you should proactively seed your own Q&As
- The top Q&As you should include
- How to format them for maximum visibility and trust
💡 What Is the GBP Q&A Section?
It’s a public section where:
- Anyone can ask a question about your clinic
- Anyone (including competitors) can answer
- You, as the owner, can preload and answer your own questions
Answers appear right on your profile in Google Maps and Search—often before your website.
🎯 Why You Should Seed Your Own Questions
✅ Control the narrative
You get ahead of common concerns before patients even call.
✅ Boost SEO
Google indexes the Q&A section—helping you rank for local, long-tail, and voice search queries like:
“Does this foot clinic take insurance near me?”
✅ Improve conversions
You answer objections early, increasing the likelihood of a booking.
✅ Prevent misinformation
If you don’t answer first, someone else might—often with incorrect or misleading info.
🧾 How to Add Q&As the Right Way
- Search your clinic on Google
- Scroll to the “Questions & answers” section
- Click “Ask a question” and post your FAQ
- After it’s live, log in as the business owner and answer it promptly
📌 Important: Google allows this—just keep it helpful and relevant.
