To do
4 things, most important first1. Make your Google opening hours match the NHS
Saturday: Google says 9:00 to 17:30, the NHS says 9:00 to 13:00.
2. Close the old listing at your address
An old listing with 37 reviews still ranks above you for “flu jab”.
3. Put flu jabs on Google and post weekly while it's in season
About 430 people nearby search for it each month. None of the 8 pharmacies around you show it online.
4. Add prices to 9 service pages
9 of 14 don't show a price.
Pick your listing once. We check every week.
No software to learn and nothing to install. You spend your time on the fixes, not on finding them.
Pick your Google listing
Search your pharmacy and pick it on Google Maps. That's the only setup, and it never needs your Google login.

How do you check where my pharmacy shows on Google Maps?
Each week we run each of your searches from 25 spots around your shop, 400 metres apart, the way a phone nearby would. We record the places Google shows at each spot, so you see where you're in the top 3, where you slip, and who is shown instead.
Do I need to give you my Google login?
No. Growth reads what anyone searching can see. You only pick your pharmacy's listing on Google Maps once, so we know which one is yours. Changes, like your hours or services, are made by you in your Google Business Profile.
What does “in Google's top 3” mean?
When someone searches for a pharmacy or a service nearby, Google shows a map with three places first. Most people pick one of those. We tell you how often you're one of the three, across all your searches and all 25 spots.
Is this local SEO for my pharmacy?
Yes, the part that matters most for a pharmacy: showing up on Google Maps when people nearby search for a pharmacy or a service. Growth measures it every week, shows what's holding you back (your Google Business Profile, reviews, the services you list and your website) and turns it into a to-do list, without an agency.
What's on the to-do list?
The fixes that matter most for your pharmacy, most important first, each with how long it takes and where to see why: your listing, your reviews, the services people search for nearby, and your website. Tick each one off when it's done and the next check confirms it.
How much does it cost?
Growth is part of Pro at £24.99 a month, and covers 5 of your pharmacies. Each extra pharmacy is £3 a month, plus £4 a month for its watchlist place if you're past 5. A first Pro subscription starts with 30 days free.
Which pharmacies can I use it on?
Your own: pharmacies you own, run or are buying, marked as “My pharmacy” on your watchlist. It isn't for tracking competitors, though you'll see who beats you on every search.
Can I pause it?
Yes, any pharmacy, any time. Its last check stays readable, and its charge stops from your next bill.
