SEO for doctors and medical practices
Healthcare is one of the sectors where Google applies the strictest content scrutiny — YMYL in its most direct form. Content written without real expertise simply doesn’t rank on the searches that matter.
The challenges specific to medical SEO
- 01E-E-A-T as an absolute priority — experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness carry more weight here than in almost any other sector
- 02Medical advertising guidelines — content strategy has to respect specific constraints on healthcare communication from the writing stage
- 03Local SEO as a critical factor — most searches carry local intent, and the Google Business Profile listing and reviews matter as much as the site
- 04Clear segmentation by specialty — optimising for a generic «doctor» search wastes the opportunity to capture higher-intent, specific searches
What I offer
- 01Technical audit and local SEO, with a focus on the Google Business Profile listing and review management
- 02Content strategy built around the practice’s real specialties, with the same E-E-A-T discipline applied to every healthcare project
- 03Structured data (schema markup) for healthcare professional/medical practice
- 04The same methodology already proven on another client in the healthcare space
Frequently asked questions
How long before the first results show up?
The first signals typically show up in 3-6 months, with solid growth consolidating over 6-12 months — in a YMYL sector like healthcare, be wary of anyone promising faster.
Do you only work with practices in my area?
I work with medical practices across markets. Local SEO stays central to the work, but it isn’t a geographic limit on the collaboration.
Does the site need rebuilding to do SEO?
Not always — an initial audit clarifies whether the problem is content, technical, or both, before proposing any intervention.
