Why Do Healthcare and Medical Businesses Need SEO?

Increased visibility

The empowered patient is on the rise, and consumers are hungry for health information and products and services to help them in their health journey. The majority of patients and consumers turn to Google search for healthcare advice or issues. It’s more important than ever for your service to be visible in organic search for the right kind of search terms to put your business in front of your target audience at all stages of their customer journey.

Quality organic traffic

SEO allows you to optimise your healthcare website and improve visibility for searches that are relevant to your business. By appearing at the top of page one for keywords relating to your offering, you can generate meaningful traffic and qualified leads that are likely to convert into paying customers.

Industry credibility

Healthcare SEO allows you to generate increased organic traffic and conversions, but also improve your brand awareness in the industry. By appearing on page one for a wide variety of relevant healthcare terms, you can grow your online reputation and the trust that potential customers have in your brand.

Competitive advantage

Healthcare and medical companies not investing in SEO are putting themselves at a disadvantage. As competition among healthcare providers increases, healthcare SEO can help you outrank your competitors long-term and capitalise on the increased customer base that organic search has to offer.

Sustainable ROI

Healthcare SEO requires a long-term investment, however, once results are achieved, these are long-term and will continue to grow over time. Unlike other online marketing methods, it’s a sustainable channel that offers one of the best returns on investment.

Our Medical SEO Marketing Process

Auditing and Analysis

All of our healthcare SEO campaigns start with thorough audits of your website that analyse and identify opportunities for all key areas of SEO, including technical, content, and competitors. These audits allow us to gain a deep understanding of your site’s current standing, and form the basis of our bespoke SEO strategies and campaigns. Our audits are regularly reviewed, refined and improved to reflect changes to industry trends and search algorithms so we can identify and draw the best opportunities and insights.

Strategy and Implementation

The findings from our thorough audits are then translated into an actionable, bespoke healthcare SEO strategy. Our plans outline what our main focus will be for each quarter of your SEO campaign, so you know what we’ll be working on, why we are prioritising those areas, and the potential impact the work will have. Once you’re happy with your healthcare or medical SEO strategy, the next stage is actioning our recommendations in line with your strategy, whether this involves new content creation, technical fixes or link acquisition. 

Monitoring and Reporting

Reporting is a crucial part of effective healthcare SEO. We monitor the progress and results of our work day-to-day and provide regular updates, as well as providing comprehensive monthly reports. Our reports include an in-depth yet easily digestible analysis of performance, so you can see exactly what impact our services are having on your business. We encourage a monthly call to discuss

Our healthcare SEO services involve reviewing all technical SEO factors as well as your site’s general infrastructure to make sure your pages are served in the best possible way to your target audience.

FAQs

What is healthcare SEO?

Healthcare SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is a specialised branch of SEO that focuses on optimising a health or medical provider’s website to improve their visibility on search engines. The primary goal is to attract more organic traffic and conversions from patients searching for health-related services, treatments, or information.

How long does it take to see results from healthcare SEO?

The timeframe for seeing results from healthcare SEO can vary depending on several factors, but generally, you can expect to see ranking improvements by the 6 month point. Some of the factors that can influence this timeframe include the current health of your website and existing visibility, the competition in your industry or niche, your budget to invest in SEO, and more. 

Some improvements to visibility can be noticeable sooner, however, patience and ongoing work are key to success, as SEO is a long-term investment that builds sustainable growth for your healthcare businesses over time.

It’s important to note that we report on the metrics that mean the most to your business and can customise reports, so you can monitor the impact that your investment in SEO is having on your business.
