Understanding Healthcare SEO
Key challenges healthcare and medical businesses face online and how targeted SEO drives patient growth
YMYL Content Standards
Google applies strict quality standards to health content. We ensure your medical website meets E-E-A-T requirements — demonstrating expertise, authority and trustworthiness to both patients and search engines.
Patient Journey Searches
Patients research symptoms, treatments and providers before booking. Content that answers these questions at every stage of the journey drives qualified patient enquiries to your practice.
Local Search Dominance
Most patients want a healthcare provider nearby. We ensure you rank in the map pack and organic results across all the areas you serve, capturing patients at the precise moment they're searching.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SEO different for healthcare websites?
Yes. Medical and health websites are classified as Your Money Your Life (YMYL) by Google and face stricter quality standards. Content must clearly demonstrate expertise, authority and trustworthiness — we ensure your site meets these requirements.
How do I compete with NHS and large medical websites?
By targeting specific procedures, conditions and local searches where specialist providers can outrank large generalist sites. Niche authority and local relevance are your competitive advantages over larger NHS and hospital group websites.
What healthcare keywords should I target?
Service and location combinations deliver the best results: “private GP [city]”, “physiotherapy near me”, “dermatologist [area]”, “specialist [procedure] [city]” and condition-specific searches your patients use when researching options.
Can SEO help a new medical practice grow from day one?
Yes. SEO is one of the most cost-effective ways for new practices to build visibility and attract patients. Starting early means you accumulate authority while building the rest of your practice — delivering a growing stream of organic enquiries over time.
