Explain a shared address with several similar practice names

A street or medical centre contains providers with similar names. Visitors may reach the correct postcode but call or enter the wrong practice.

What to change

Add the small identifying details that distinguish the practice from its neighbours. Use verified signs, suite names and organisation names rather than promotional descriptions.

A worked example

Illustrative example

Two services operate at West Court: a dental practice and a separate therapy practice. The dental location page names its entrance sign and suite so patients do not rely on West Court alone.

How to check the result

A visitor can distinguish the intended practice from nearby organisations sharing the same address.

A mistake to avoid

Do not assume a postcode or map pin is sufficient where multiple providers occupy one building or a single street frontage.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
