Specifics of the Medical SEO

Health care is a complex industry because of the high diversity of tasks involved in the delivery of usually expensive patient care and services. Medical service is a complex marketing product, with its own specifics if promoted online. The healthcare market is characterized by an extremely constrained competition, created not only by the healthcare facilities and clinics but by the major patient portals as well. Patient portals, general health centers, and specialized clinics compete for free search traffic in different fields of healthcare and know how to promote their specific services effectively.

With the introduction of Google's Medic Update that affected health-related businesses, significant consideration is to be given to the authority of the content uploaded on the medical website. The target audience of the medical services are usually people who don't have a medical degree. Your website pages must have all the information a patient requires to make an informed decision and select your company as their ideal provider. The medical website should showcase your unique services and convert a visitor into a patient.

SEOTM knows how to get the medical companies in front of prospective patients and accelerate their business growth with exceptional SEO strategies. The process of medical content creation is a very particular field associated with highly specialized terminology. Ultimately, the goal is to make your website content more visible on Google and bring in new patients. Medical SEO, as implemented by SEOTM, drives traffic to your website — and patients to your doors.

Our SEO for health-related websites begins with a detailed, page-by-page optimization of our client’s title tags and H tags to ensure they are properly structured to improve search rankings. Next, our experienced SEO copywriters prepare content that gets results: They know how to use medical keywords effortlessly.

Besides, we recommend our customers to regularly post new content on the website in the form of blogs: It is an effective way to reach new patients and is a part of the digital marketing plan we outlined for GlobalMedik.

SEO Strategy Implementation

We delivered a well-rounded marketing growth strategy to our partner, GlobalMedik, and completed the following:

GlobalMedik Project: How we did it

We have used actionable tactics and figured out where and how to increase organic traffic to the GlobalMedik’s site, bringing it to the top 3 and top 10 of the most popular search queries. A key to success is to develop a realistic SEO content plan, stick to it and produce high-quality written content consistently. These efforts, doubled by the overall website trust evidenced by trust signals, had contributed to the success of the project, raised brand awareness, and helped the company’s website to survive search engine updates. A signal was created for the search engines that GlobalMedik's website is continuously producing great content that needs to be crawled.

Typically, a copywriter writes the text on the instructions of our client, adhering to the technical tasks (TORs) provided by our team, with GlobalMedik’s medical professionals further editing and proofreading the text to ensure its accuracy. This method helps us to make sure that the text contains the information our client’s audience is looking for and the produced text is unique, specific, and high-quality in terms of expertise, trustworthiness, aesthetical attractiveness, and readability. However, this is a very time-consuming method that does not allow us to produce a significant amount of texts in a short time frame. To make the work more efficient, we prefer to draw up the TORs several months in advance to ensure that the new content is produced and posted regularly.

Since the project has been implemented within a large-scale website structure, with a significant number of anticipated categories to work with, the client had been regularly identifying certain medical services as the fields of priority and defining areas for more intense SEO operation. First and foremost, the website's structure was developed and implemented with all types of pages in mind, allowing us to effectively scale the website and get great search results from Google.

Medical Site SEO: Key Aspects

An important key step in creating high-quality content for a medical site is to establish a sound page structure, and then fill it up with original and compelling subject-matter content blocks that will add value to the content and boost the overall search relevancy of your pages. Here are the links to the website’s best examples:

1. 1
   One of the important aspects of building the overall information structure of the site is to develop the structure of the individual pages describing medical services or specialties. A link to the website’s hair transplantation page: https://globalmedik.com/treatments/transplantaciya-volos/peresadka-volos/.
2. 2
   Individual content blocks displaying information about medical clinics and the top physicians of these clinics are considered the most important commercial ranking factors of any medical tourism website. https://globalmedik.com/medicinskie-centry/
