Match that identity to the actual public role, location, contact arrangement, and website page. Begin with an inventory rather than account changes. Keep a profile problem separate from a missing or incorrect website destination. ## Apply the practitioner conditions to the actual person Google's guidelines require a dedicated practitioner profile to represent a public-facing role with direct contact at the verified location during stated hours. They exclude support staff. [Google practitioner guidelines, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en). Ask the clinic to confirm those facts for each proposed practitioner. Do not infer eligibility from a bio appearing on the website or from a professional title alone. For a combined chiropractic and physical therapy clinic, record each person's discipline and actual assignment. Keep an unresolved location or contact arrangement open for review. ## Separate organization and practitioner identities Google distinguishes multiple public-facing practitioners at one location from a sole practitioner representing a branded organization. It also says practitioners should not create multiple profiles for their specializations. [Google profile identity guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en). Have the authorized profile owner assess the relevant arrangement. Do not turn every service page into a reason for another profile. Use a working sheet before proposing changes: | Profile field | Clinic fact to establish | |---|---| | Represented identity | Organization or named practitioner | | Public-facing role | Actual current role at the location | | Contact | How that business or person can be reached | | Location | Verified operating assignment | | Website destination | Correct office or practitioner explanation | | Ownership | Authorized account owner for any later change | | Open question | Missing fact or disputed identity | Do not rename or remove an existing profile merely because two entries look similar. Resolve identity and authority first. ## Make the website destination answer the same question An organization destination should explain the clinic and its contact route. A practitioner destination should identify the person and their approved role. Keep services and office assignments aligned with clinic records. Use the [clinic location-page worksheet](/articles/clinic-location-page-structured-data) for office facts. Check that a visitor does not land at a different office or a generic page that omits the person they selected. If a provider works at more than one location, have staff approve how the website explains the arrangement. Preserve the visitor's chosen office in any subsequent request. ## Test the public route before accepting the repair Open the profile's public website link and compare the destination with the approved inventory. Check the public name, office, role, and contact action. Use synthetic information in the agreed inquiry test. Confirm that the receiving team gets the requested practitioner or office. Keep the receipt separate from appointment confirmation or eligibility decisions. Record the exact link checked and the observed mismatch. A corrected website destination does not prove that Google accepted another profile change. ## Keep account work separately scoped Assign website repairs to the website owner. Assign profile access and identity decisions to the authorized profile owner. Recheck both records when staff or locations change. Bring the destination inventory to the [chiropractic and physical therapy clinic hub](/for/chiropractic-and-physical-therapy-clinics). Ask Scale With Search to name the website repairs in your [written scope](/work). Scope profile work separately.
