Every great journey starts with a confident first step. On LinQMD, that first step is onboarding — a simple, structured, and guided process that transforms your professional identity into a discoverable, trustworthy, and patient-ready digital presence. 

Let’s be honest: setting up a digital profile can feel like just another chore — until you realize it’s your digital clinic, and it’s open 24x7. 

At LinQMD, onboarding isn’t just about uploading degrees and filling forms. It’s your first step into becoming digitally discoverable, credible, and approachable — just the way your patients expect in today’s online-first world. 

What You’ll Do as a Doctor 

This isn’t just filling out a form. It’s the foundation of your digital brand. Here’s exactly what you’ll do: 

Step 1: Fill Out Your Core Details 

Think of this as telling your professional story — clearly and confidently. 

• Full Name (as per medical registration): 
This ensures name consistency across platforms and verifiability by patients. Patients often Google your name. A verified name builds trust — and shows up better on search engines. 

• Qualifications, Degrees, Fellowships: 
These aren’t just titles — they define your journey, credibility, and areas of competence. Mentioning them clearly helps patients understand what sets you apart. 

• Medical Registration Number (NMC/Local Council): 
It confirms legitimacy. We verify every doctor so patients can feel safe and reassured. 

• Experience, Roles, Affiliations: 
Where have you practiced? What’s your current setup? Patients want to know your clinical ecosystem — whether you’re hospital-based, clinic-based, or multi-location. 

• Languages Spoken: 
Patients trust better when they know they can speak comfortably. This is often a key reason for why someone chooses one doctor over another. 

2. Initiate Your Profile with CAEPY 

CAEPY (Create Appropriate & Elegant Profile Yourself) is our AI-based profile-building assistant. 

You can either self-fill the form online OR simply send your details via WhatsApp and we’ll help you build the rest. 

CAEPY transforms your clinical information into a well-written, professional, SEO-rich profile. 

Every output is reviewed by our content team to ensure readability, tone, and accuracy. 

Think of CAEPY as your personal profile author, tuned for both medical accuracy and public understanding. 

3. Mention Your Services & Consultation Preferences 

Patients want to know what you treat and how they can reach you. 

Conditions Treated: A clear list of clinical specialties and diseases you manage. 

Consultation Modes: In-person, teleconsult, or hybrid. 

Availability: Days and times, emergency availability (if applicable), and response windows. 

This section influences your SEO as well. Patients searching for "back pain doctor in Colombo" or "online ENT consultation Bangalore" should find you. 

4. Upload Key Documents for Verification 

Building a trustworthy platform means authenticating every doctor. You will be asked to upload: 

Government ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport) — for internal KYC and doctor verification. 

Medical Registration Certificate — the basis of practice legitimacy. 

Degrees and Academic Credentials — MBBS, post-grad, super-specialty certifications. 

Your page will display a "Verified by LinQMD" badge upon successful checks. 

What LinQMD Does in Parallel 

As soon as your onboarding begins, our team kicks off backend processes. 

1. Profile Review & Enhancement 

Your CAEPY-generated profile goes through editorial checks for grammar, tone, and flow. 

We fine-tune your overview to sound natural, professional, and patient-friendly. 

No robotic bios. No generic text. You sound like you — at your best. 

2. SEO Optimization 

We embed relevant keywords, meta-descriptions, and geolocation tags. 

This helps you appear in searches like: 

"Best cardiologist in Galle" 

"ENT doctor near me Colombo" 

"Dr. [Your Name] reviews" 

This is the first stage of SEO: technical and content-based optimization. 

3. Dedicated Onboarding Coordinator 

You’ll be assigned a real human coordinator — your guide through the onboarding process: 

They help you position your strengths 

Explain what patients expect to see online 

Help with WhatsApp onboarding or document uploads 

Act as a single point of contact until launch 

4. Doctor Page Creation 

Once approved, your LinQMD profile is published: 

www.linqmd.com/doctor/yourname 

This becomes your professional digital hub. It includes: 

• Verified bio 

• Services offered 

• Appointment scheduler (SAM integration) 

• Patient reviews (collected post-consult) 

• Blogs and FAQs (co-authored or team-supported) 

• Profile image and clinic/hospital photos 

• Embedded Google Maps 

What Happens During Onboarding 

We: 

• Understand who you are professionally 

• Curate your achievements and experience 

• Clean up the way you present online 

• Set up your technical SEO 

• Verify your credentials 

• Create your patient-ready profile 

• Prepare your platform for launch (with links, appointment tools, QR codes) 

Why This Onboarding Matters 

✔️ Better Discoverability — Search engines love structured, verified content. 

✔️ More Patient Trust — A complete profile with real details sets you apart. 

✔️ Saves Time Later — Once the foundation is strong, adding blogs, reviews, and updates is seamless. 

✔️ Professional Identity — You finally own your story online — not aggregators or third-party listings. 

Onboarding is not a hurdle — it’s your foundation. 
Once done right, it becomes the engine that powers your practice online.
