Illustrative Case Study. This is a sample scenario that shows how Y5MEDIA approaches this kind of challenge. It is not a real client, and any figures are illustrative targets, not actual results.
Industry: Pharmacy & Healthcare Retail (Five-branch Pharmacy Chain). Focus: multi-location local SEO
At a glance: This illustrative case study shows how a five-branch pharmacy chain can make every location visible in local search. Y5MEDIA’s approach corrects business information across the web, creates a Google Business Profile and a page for each branch, and sets up a review and Q&A routine. Y5MEDIA is an AI-powered digital visibility and media company based in Mangaluru, India.
The Challenge
A pharmacy chain with five branches had one generic website page and inconsistent Google listings. Some branches showed wrong hours or old phone numbers, and people searching for a “pharmacy open now” nearby were sent to competitors.
The Y5MEDIA Approach
- A location audit correcting names, addresses, phone numbers and hours across Google and directories
- A Google Business Profile for every branch, with services, photos and regular updates
- Individual branch pages with directions, timings, services and home-delivery details
- A review and Q&A routine so each branch responds to customers consistently
The Strategy
Treat each branch as its own local business online while keeping one trusted brand. Accurate, consistent information is the foundation, and branch-level content helps each store win searches in its own neighbourhood.
The Objective
- Show accurate details for every branch across the web
- Appear in local results near each branch (Illustrative Target: all 5 branches in the map pack for core searches within 6 months)
- Increase calls, direction requests and delivery enquiries
- Build steady reviews for each location
Key Insight
In local search, a wrong opening time costs more than a missing advert.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you do local SEO for multiple locations?
Give each location its own accurate Google Business Profile and a dedicated website page, keep name, address, phone and hours consistent everywhere, and build reviews for each branch separately.
Why do inconsistent business listings hurt local rankings?
Conflicting addresses, phone numbers or opening hours reduce search engines’ confidence in a business and frustrate customers who arrive at a closed store.
What should a branch location page include?
The branch address, map and directions, opening hours, phone number, services available, delivery information and answers to local customer questions.
