Practo brings appointments, and it is a sensible place for a new clinic to be listed. We do not suggest leaving it. This is what each one builds for you.

Questions about GrowKo and Practo.
Should we stop listing on Practo?
No, not abruptly. Keep it while your own presence is built, then decide with real numbers on where your patients come from.
Can we use both?
Yes. Most clinics do. Practo fills the schedule today, and your own website and Google profile reduce how much you depend on it.
Is GrowKo a listing site like Practo or Justdial?
No. Those are directories that show your clinic on their platform. GrowKo builds and runs your own website, Google profile and WhatsApp enquiries.
How soon do direct enquiries start?
Usually Maps rankings move in 4 to 8 weeks and AI Overview impressions begin in 4 to 6 weeks. Glam Korean Skin Studio was cited in Google's AI Overviews 3 days after its website went live.
How do we start?
With a free audit of where your clinic stands. Setup takes 7 days, and every engagement begins with a 60-day proof of value.
