The verdict in three sentences
In Amsterdam, a well managed clinic listing costs between 400 and 1,500 EUR to set up in 2026, then 150 to 450 EUR a month depending on posting and photo volume. For a private clinic, the middle tier is usually right: replies to reviews within 48 hours and listing details that match each practitioner's BIG register entry and the clinic website. Ask for a written grid that spells out each tier, otherwise you are paying for hours without knowing what gets delivered.
The 2026 three tier price grid
The figures below are 2026 estimates for a single location, excluding VAT and photo shoot travel. They cover setup or takeover of an existing listing, then ongoing management.
| Tier | Setup and optimisation (one off) | Monthly management | Posts per month | Photos added | Review replies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 400 to 650 EUR | 150 to 220 EUR | 4 | 20 at setup | Within 72 hours |
| Standard | 700 to 1,100 EUR | 220 to 330 EUR | 6 | 30 at setup, 5 per month | Within 48 hours, Dutch and English |
| Advanced | 1,100 to 1,500 EUR | 330 to 450 EUR | 8 | 40 at setup, 10 per month | Within 24 hours, policy based flagging |
The Essential tier suits a single practitioner. A clinic with several specialists and patients from across the city, many of them English speaking expats, needs at least Standard.
What each tier actually includes
A good clinic listing lists every treatment as a service, shows accurate hours including holiday closures such as Koningsdag, and uses real photos of reception, rooms and team. Dutch patients write direct, detailed reviews, and replies should be equally direct, short and never confirm that someone is a patient, in line with GDPR and medical confidentiality.
| Task | Essential | Standard | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary and secondary categories reviewed | Yes | Yes | Yes, quarterly review |
| Services and treatments list | 5 services | 10 to 15 services | All treatments with descriptions |
| Practitioner names checked against BIG register and website | No | Yes | Yes, plus individual practitioner checks |
| Pre filled questions and answers | No | 5 questions | 10 questions |
| Hours and holiday updates | On request | Before each public holiday | Weekly |
| Calls and direction requests tracking | Monthly | Monthly | Weekly |
| Recurring extras to budget | None | Twice yearly photo shoot, 350 EUR | Quarterly photo shoot, 350 EUR |
Two costs are often missed: front desk time to ask happy patients for a review, about one minute each, and Google verification, which can take a few days to three weeks depending on the method offered.

Illustrative example, fictional clinic: Eva, practice manager of a physiotherapy and sports medicine clinic in Amsterdam Oost. The listing has 22 reviews, outdated hours and two practitioners who left a year ago. She picks Standard: 900 EUR setup and 280 EUR a month, so 4,260 EUR in year one. If the listing brings 14 new patients a month, each worth on average 6 sessions at 55 EUR not covered by basic insurance, that is 4,620 EUR of extra monthly revenue. The first year budget is recovered in about one month.
FAQ
How much does clinic listing setup cost in Amsterdam?
Setup and optimisation run from 400 to 1,500 EUR depending on the tier. The price depends on the number of treatments described, photos supplied and whether an old, poorly configured listing must be cleaned up.
Why check names against the BIG register?
Patients and insurers compare details, and mismatched practitioner names or titles damage trust. A Standard tier check of every name takes 1 to 2 hours at setup.
Can we answer patient reviews without breaching confidentiality?
Yes, if you never confirm that the reviewer is a patient or mention any treatment. A short, neutral reply of 2 to 3 sentences within 48 hours works in most cases.
How many photos does a clinic need?
Aim for 20 to 40 at setup: entrance, reception, treatment rooms, equipment and staff with consent. Add 5 to 10 a month on Standard or Advanced.
When will calls increase?
First effects usually show 4 to 10 weeks after optimisation. Weekly tracking of calls and direction requests shows progress as it happens.
