Summary:

GRU Contributing Editor Neil H. Baum, MD, Professor of Urology at Tulane Medical School, discusses the all-important Google search in part one of a 2-part series. First, he talks about why Google is the most important search engine. The first page of results captures more than 90% of all clicks, so it is imperative to figure out how to get your clinic onto that first page. Dr. Baum gives an example from his own practice about how he got onto the first page of search results by writing medical blog posts and recording videos about common issues that his patients come to him with.
