FAQ

What is Healthcare SEO?
  • Healthcare SEO is the process of improving a medical practice’s online visibility

in search results, so patients can find and choose your services. It includes technical SEO, local SEO, medical content, and trust signals.

How is SEO for Doctors different from general SEO?

It requires medical accuracy, compliance, clear disclaimers, E‑E‑A‑T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), and a strong focus on local search and patient intent.

How long does SEO take?

Most clinics see meaningful improvements within 3–6 months, with continued growth beyond that. Timelines depend on competition and current site status.

Do you work with multi-location clinics?

Yes—location pages, GBP profiles, and citation consistency are core parts of our Local SEO program.
