The Problem

Directories Outrank Your Own Doctors

It shows in most medical searches. A patient types a symptom and a city, and big directories fill the results before your practice appears.

  1. 01 · Rankings

    Directories and hospital systems outrank your own doctors.

    Provider bios and profiles give Google a clear page for each doctor.

  2. 02 · Content

    Condition pages are short, unsigned, and years old.

    Clinicians review each page, with their name and the review date shown.

  3. 03 · Local

    Your map listing shows the wrong hours or categories.

    Profiles for the practice and each doctor are checked every month.

  4. 04 · Tracking

    You can't tell which searches become appointments.

    Calls and bookings are tracked by page, without patient details.

A patient with knee pain searches for a specialist near her. The results show a hospital system, two national directories, and a health encyclopedia. Your practice sits on page two, under a directory listing that misspells your doctor's name. Your condition pages are short, unsigned, and years old. So she books with whichever doctor the directory shows first, and you don't even see the lost visit.

We start with the pages that decide medical searches: your conditions, your treatments, and your doctors. Your clinicians review every page before it goes live, and their name and review date appear on it. Each doctor gets a full bio and a Google profile, each location gets its own page, and tracking shows you which searches become appointments. Rankings follow trust, not tricks.

  • Clinician-reviewed medical pages

    Every condition and treatment page shows the reviewing doctor's name and the date it was checked.

  • A profile for every provider

    Bios and Google practitioner profiles show specialties, locations, booking links, and credentials the practice confirms.

  • Appointments tracked without PHI

    Calls and bookings are measured by page, with ad tags kept off scheduling pages.

Our Medical Practice SEO Process

From First Audit to Booked Visits in Five Steps

You see the data first. Your clinicians review every page before it goes live, and each month you see which searches turned into appointments.

  1. We review your rankings, Google profiles, directory listings, and top condition pages with read-only access. You get a short call on the gaps we found and a fixed monthly proposal.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built healthcare and service websites for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

How We Handle Medical Search Work

Health searches carry more weight with Google and with patients. These habits keep your rankings built on accurate pages and honest signals.

  • Clinicians sign off first

    No medical page goes live until one of your clinicians approves it. Their name and review date show on the page, so readers know who checked it.

  • Sources patients can check

    Medical claims link to primary sources such as the CDC or NIH, not marketing sites. Your patients and search engines both see where facts come from.

  • Tracking without patient data

    Ad and analytics tags stay off scheduling, intake, and portal pages, following HHS tracking guidance. You still see which pages bring appointments.

  • Links earned, not bought

    We earn mentions from real community and professional groups. Bought links and review schemes put your practice's name at risk, so we skip them.

  • Straight advice on budget

    If a full Google profile and steady reviews would carry your practice for now, we'll say so. A monthly program can start when it pays off.

  • Content that stays yours

    Every page, profile, and report sits in your own accounts. If you end the program, the content and profiles stay with you.

Good fit

  • Multi-specialty medical groups

    Your group runs cardiology, orthopedics, and primary care, and each specialty needs its own pages and doctor profiles.

  • Independent physicians in private practice

    You want SEO for doctors that puts your own name, training, and practice in front of patients searching for you.

  • Practices spending heavily on ads

    Your paid clicks cost more every quarter, and you want patient traffic that doesn't stop when ad spending does.

  • Clinics with outdated condition pages

    Your condition pages were written years ago without clinical review, and they rank for nothing patients search.

  • Agencies with healthcare clients

    You run marketing for medical practices and need a partner who handles clinical review and privacy-safe tracking under your brand.

Not a fit

  • Dental practices

    You run a dental practice. Our Dental SEO Services page covers procedure pages, dentist profiles, and dental search terms.

  • Budget under $950 a month

    Your budget is under $950 a month. A complete Google Business Profile and steady review requests can carry a small practice for now.

  • Reviews come first

    Your ratings are the real problem, not rankings. Our Reputation Management for Doctors page covers review requests and replies.

  • One-time audit only

    You only want a one-time technical audit. Our Technical SEO Services page covers audits and fixes without a monthly program.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timing, E-E-A-T, provider pages, local search, and privacy-safe tracking.

  • Your program starts at $950 per month for one location with up to 3 providers and 2 clinician-reviewed pages a month. The Multi-Provider Program costs $1,600 per month for up to 10 providers, and multi-location groups start at $2,300 per month. Ad spend isn't included.

  • Plan on 4 to 6 months before your organic bookings grow steadily. Technical fixes and profile cleanup land in the first 3 weeks, while new condition pages need months to earn trust. You see bookings by page each month, so progress shows before rankings settle.

  • Health topics carry more weight with Google and more risk for your patients. Google says its systems give extra weight to strong E-E-A-T on health topics, so SEO for healthcare needs clinical review, named reviewers, and primary sources. HIPAA also limits your tracking and review replies.

  • Neither is a single algorithm. Google says E-E-A-T isn't a specific ranking factor, but its systems give more weight to strong E-E-A-T on health topics. YMYL is a label in Google's rater guidelines, and rater data doesn't directly rank pages. For your surgical pages, that means surgeon review and careful wording about risks.

  • Make each page clearly about one doctor or one condition, then prove it with specifics. Your bios list training, board certifications, specialties, languages, and locations, all confirmed by the practice. Your condition pages cover symptoms, testing, and treatment, then link to the doctors who treat it. Schema markup describes each doctor and clinic to search engines.

  • It builds traffic you don't pay for per click. Once your condition and provider pages rank, patients keep arriving when ad budgets pause. We use your Google Ads search terms to pick queries worth ranking for, so your ads team can lower bids where organic results hold.

  • It covers everything that decides map results for your locations. That means a full Google Business Profile for the practice, profiles for your public-facing doctors, accurate health directory listings, and location pages. Google allows a separate profile for each practitioner patients can reach there during stated hours.

  • Our writers draft each page from your doctors' notes and primary sources, and a clinician at your practice approves it. Your clinician's name and the review date appear on the page, in line with Google's advice to show who created content. Nothing medical goes live without that sign-off.

  • We measure pages, calls, and booking clicks, and keep tracking tags off your scheduling, intake, and portal pages. HHS guidance says tracking on those pages can expose protected health information, and Google Analytics doesn't sign a BAA. Anything deeper runs through tools whose vendors sign one.

  • They stay with your practice. Your pages live on your website, your profiles sit in your Google accounts, and your reports stay in your analytics. If you stop, new pages and fixes stop too, but nothing we built is taken down, and you owe no exit fee.
