The primary goal of SEO is to transform a medical institution's website or online healthcare store into a reliable channel for attracting patients and customers with a high level of trust and compliance with healthcare industry regulations.
The initial stage involves a comprehensive technical audit, evaluating website usability indicators, measuring server response time, and performance metrics. Fast page loading speeds, correct content display on different devices, redirects, robots.txt, and other parameters are analyzed and configured.
Semantic core development focuses on long-tail keywords that specify geographic location and specific medical specialties, reflecting patient intent at various stages of the decision-making process—from searching for information about symptoms to choosing a specialist for an appointment. Experienced doctors, recognized online, often become a part of clinics' semantic core. We use professional SEO platforms for collecting and analyzing semantics (e.g., Serpstat, Ahrefs, SEMrush), as well as our own solutions for monitoring rankings and identifying competitor weaknesses.
Microdata markup is being implemented for physician profiles, detailing education and certifications, medical services pages describing indications and contraindications, clinic hours, and insurance programs.
Required work includes the creation and optimization of biographical pages for medical staff, detailing their experience, specializations, patient care philosophy, and professional achievements to enhance their expertise.
A system for collecting and publishing patient reviews is being set up while maintaining medical confidentiality: verified success stories are posted with written consent, natural keywords are included in reviews to enhance local SEO, and the reviews section is regularly updated to maintain fresh content, both text and video.
Additionally, conversion optimization elements are being implemented where possible: simplified appointment booking forms with a minimum number of fields, visible indicators of safety and compliance with medical standards, integration of online doctor scheduling and chatbots for 24/7 initial consultations, etc.
