What Is Medical Search Engine Optimization?


Medical search engine optimization, otherwise known as medical SEO, encompasses best tactics and practices to increase your medical website's search engine rankings for targeted keywords. Thus, your hospital or treatment center can reach more patients looking for your services.

Why Do Doctors Need SEO?

Doctors need search engine optimization (SEO). Here's why: Establish Authority in Their Field: Search engines match search queries with the most relevant authority on the topic. Wouldn't it be amazing if that authority were you? With SEO, you can climb to the top of Google search results for local search results and be recognized as the authority within your field.
Build Brand Recognition: With SEO, your practice will appear first whenever patients search for relevant keywords. SEO can get users to go from "No, I don't know who they are" to "Yeah, I've heard great things about them," and hopefully to "Sure, I go there." Increase Website Traffic: Your ranking is directly associated with how much website traffic you get. Search engines can see whether your website is or is not a frequently clicked-on answer to commonly searched-for words. Organic search results that rank highly get more clicks and are more credible. With SEO, you can get on page one of major search engines, making it easy for potential patients to find you.
SEO optimization is necessary to advertise your healthcare practice properly, and putting it on the back burner will only hurt you. At EDNA Digital Marketing, we specialize in SEO for healthcare practices. We ensure long-term success for our clients using SEO as the cornerstone of their healthcare marketing. Give us a call, and we will help you generate patient leads for your practice.

What Are the Advantages of Medical SEO?


1. A comprehensive medical SEO strategy can help you battle through branded traffic and capture patients' attention by looking for the healthcare providers and medical services you offer.
2. Medical SEO marketing helps you stand out in today's competitive healthcare industry. Not only will SEO help you outperform your competitors, but it will also help you position your medical website in rich search results. Today, less than half of Google searches result in a click.
3. A medical website SEO audit can help you find the strengths and weaknesses of your healthcare website. An SEO specialist can run an SEO audit on your website. The findings from the audit will help the specialist make necessary improvements such as page speed optimization, page-by-page optimization of your H tags and title tags, and social optimization.
4. SEO can help you compete in voice search, which many individuals use either through their Smartphones or smartphones with chatty assistants such as Siri , Google Assistant , or Alexa .
5. SEO can help you achieve better Google rankings. Aside from this, it can also help you drive organic traffic and get quality leads from potential patients. EDNA Digital Marketing provides medical SEO services to take your healthcare organization to new heights. We can help you create a Google ads campaign to promote your health services. We can also craft a customized SEO medical strategy for you to help you stand out from your competition and dominate your market.

How Long Does It Take for Medical SEO to Work?


The level of competition in the healthcare industry is incredibly high; however, good medical SEO can yield desired results in around four to six months.

How Can Doctors Use Medical SEO to Get Their Medical Practices to the Top of Search Engine Results?   


Even though there are over 200 ranking factors that go into Google's algorithm, generally: ·  You need to choose the right medical keywords; · Your medical website must be secure, fast, and mobile-friendly; ·   Your web pages need meta descriptions, title tags, and medical schema; ·  You need a good deal of directory citations, social signals, and quality inbound links; ·  You need a GMB (Google My Business) page. A GMB page will help local patients find you because you will show up in Google's local pack. · You need to publish new content on your website to help you rank for new keywords on Google and boost your local SEO rankings. ·  You need several pages of high-quality content optimized for medical SEO. Low-quality content can be dangerous for your practice and can have unintended medical consequences.
