The situation

A medical centre in Dublin with several GPs, a reception team under pressure and a website that listed opening hours and little else.

Patients phoned for everything because the site offered nothing else. Load time was over two seconds on a phone, the booking link was buried, and new patients could not tell if the practice was taking registrations.

What we changed

  1. A new accessible site built around three tasks: book, register, find information
  2. Online booking on every page, with clear rules for who can book what
  3. Service pages for vaccinations, screening and chronic care, written in plain language
  4. Google Business Profile with services, hours and booking link
  5. Tracking of bookings, registrations and calls so the practice could see the shift

What happened

Within six months 58% of appointments were booked online, calls to reception fell by a third and the site loads in under a second.
