Frequently asked questions

How competitive is the local Google ranking for my specialty?
In most South African cities and suburbs, a practice with 30–50 recent reviews (posted within the last 12 months) and a rating above 4.3 ranks competitively in local search results. The practices at the top of local search results typically have consistent monthly review activity — not just a high total count accumulated years ago.
Is it POPIA-compliant to send WhatsApp review requests to local patients?
Yes, provided the patient has given consent for communication as part of the standard intake process. Guardian AI Reviews uses opt-out language in every message and does not store WhatsApp conversations. Your practice retains full control over patient communication records in compliance with South African privacy law.
How quickly will we see new reviews from patients in our area?
Most practices see their first new reviews within the first week of going live. Monthly review volume typically increases 3–5x within the first 60 days. Local patients respond particularly well to WhatsApp because it is the channel they already use for everyday communication.
Can we respond to reviews directly from the platform?
Yes. Guardian AI Reviews includes a review inbox and ready-to-post reply templates calibrated for healthcare communication tone — professional, empathetic, and aligned with HPCSA best practice guidelines.
