Healthcare SEO that puts your practice first

Patients search for care every day. If your practice isn't at the top of those results, you're losing them to a competitor who is. We help doctors, clinics and specialists dominate local search and attract qualified patients.

Why it matters

Medical SEO is not general SEO

Medical practices face challenges general agencies don't understand: medical terminology, HIPAA constraints, patient search behaviour, and Google's evolving guidance on health content. Our approach ranks you higher without stepping outside healthcare regulation.

0%: of patients research providers online first
0%: trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation
0%: more bookings for practices with strong local SEO
0%: of Google searches are "near me" queries

What's included

Our healthcare SEO services

Five workstreams that run together — each one useful alone, compounding when combined.

Local SEO for medical practices

We optimise your Google Business Profile, local citations and location-based content so your practice appears when patients search nearby — the "near me" queries that drive 46% of all Google searches.

Medical website technical SEO

Comprehensive technical audits: crawl errors, site speed, schema markup for medical businesses and mobile optimisation, built around the requirements specific to healthcare sites.

Content optimisation

We optimise existing medical content and create new patient-focused pages that rank while staying medically accurate and HIPAA compliant, targeting both informational and commercial queries.

Medical keyword research & strategy

Using specialised healthcare tools we identify the exact terms patients use, from general health concerns through to specific procedure searches.

Online reputation management

Systems that encourage positive patient reviews, respond to feedback professionally, and manage your standing across every major healthcare review platform.
