Healthcare SEO
What is Healthcare SEO? Why can't medical practices use standard SEO approaches?
Because each industry requires different strategies and approaches.
Why Your Medical Website Needs Specialized SEO
Healthcare websites fall under Google's YMYL (Your Money Your Life) classification, facing the strictest quality standards of any industry.
83% of patients research symptoms and providers online before booking. Your website directly impacts patient acquisition, with 76% reporting they won't consider providers who lack an online presence.
Your website needs to follow regulatory requirements as they directly impact SEO performance. One compliance error can trigger algorithmic penalties that take months or years to recover from.
Use Healthcare SEO Instead of the Generic One
General SEO often prioritizes keywords and link quantity, however, healthcare SEO puts attention to expertise signals, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.
Medical practices need content authored or reviewed by credentialed experts. Hospital websites require different optimization than individual practitioners. Mental health providers face content sensitivity requirements. Pharmaceutical companies need to comply to strict FDA compliances for searchable content.
Healthcare Search Quarterly examined 6.5 million medical search results and found that healthcare websites with strong E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) ranked 4.3x higher than those focusing on traditional SEO metrics, with 87% of first-page medical results featuring expert author credentials.

Frequently Ask Questions
SEO for medical websites is a specialized approach to search engine optimization that addresses the challenges of ranking for this niche.
