Healthcare SEO · Patient-intent

Patients
find you
first.

We get your practice to the top of Google for the things patients actually search — their symptoms, their condition, the procedure they need, the worries that keep them up at night.

The full stack

Five layers.
One practice at the top.

Think of SEO like plumbing. Get one part wrong and the whole thing leaks. We build all five parts — in the right order.

STAGE 01

A fast, healthy website

We fix the technical basics — fast loading, works on phones, easy for Google to read, safe with patient data.

Fast-loading pages
STAGE 02

Win your local area

Google Business Profile, accurate listings everywhere, neighbourhood pages, and the same name/address/phone across the web.

Top of local search
STAGE 03

Content that ranks

Pages that walk patients from symptom to condition to treatment to cost — written and reviewed by your doctors.

Condition pages
STAGE 04

Building your reputation

Press coverage, PubMed citations, expert features, and mentions in respected journals.

A trusted name
STAGE 05

Turning visitors into patients

Easy booking forms, an AI receptionist, and gentle reminders for people who start a form but don't finish.

More bookings
The arc

Month 1 to
month 12.

SEO takes about a year to really pay off, but the growth isn't even. We lay the groundwork in months 1–3, build the content engine in months 4–8, and watch it compound in months 9–12.

The 147-Point Healthcare SEO Checklist

The exact SEO audit checklist our team runs on every healthcare website. Technical SEO, content, local, schema markup, AI search optimisation — nothing missed. If your site is invisible on Google, this tells you where the leaks are. If it's already ranking, this tells you where the ceiling lifts.

  • 147-point technical + content + local audit
  • Medical schema markup (Doctor, Hospital, MedicalProcedure) — paste-ready
  • Google Business Profile optimisation (every field, every photo)
Questions you'll have

The honest answers.

  • How long until we see our rankings move?+

    You'll see the first movement on easier search terms in 6–8 weeks. Real gains on the competitive, high-traffic terms come at 4–6 months. Anyone promising faster on a tough specialty is selling you a fairy tale.

  • Do you guarantee the #1 spot on Google?+

    No. We guarantee the work and clear reporting. Anyone who guarantees a position is cheating the system — and you're the one who'll pay when Google catches on.

  • Is the content written by doctors?+

    Yes. Our medical writers work hand in hand with your doctors, who review and put their name to it. Every page is backed by PubMed citations and carries a doctor's byline.

  • How long am I tied in?+

    Three months minimum on Practice, six on Hospital and twelve on Enterprise. After that it runs month to month with 30 days' notice.

  • How does this work with the agency we already use?+

    Two ways. (1) We take over from them. (2) We sit above them — we own the strategy and reputation work while they handle the day-to-day. Most clients choose option 1 by month 3.

Why choose us

Why healthcare brands choose us.

Six reasons hospitals, clinics, and doctors pick a healthcare-only firm over a generalist agency.

  • Healthcare-only

    It's all we do. No retail, no fintech — the whole team thinks in patient journeys, clinical trust, and the way people actually choose a doctor.

  • AI-first systems

    Receptionists, WhatsApp triage, and attribution built in-house — we answer patients in seconds and tie every click to a booked appointment.

  • Compliance built-in

    HIPAA-aware handling, ASCI-reviewed creative, and GDPR/DPDP sign-off on every campaign — our standard, not an upcharge or an afterthought.

  • Senior on every account

    The senior who pitched you stays on the engagement. No bait-and-switch to juniors learning on your budget.

  • Measured to the appointment

    Patient-level attribution across calls, forms, and walk-ins. Monthly reports show booked patients — not just clicks and impressions.

  • Receipts, not promises

    We name our clients and show the work. Quarterly reviews with the numbers attached, every cycle.
