YMYL and E-E-A-T in practice
Google treats health topics as "Your Money or Your Life" content, where poor information can harm people. Its quality guidelines ask raters to look for experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust (E-E-A-T), and in health those signals carry more weight than in almost any other field. In practice that means content written or reviewed by qualified people, clear authorship, accurate and current information, transparent ownership of the site, and easy ways for patients to reach a real practice. Healthcare SEO services that skip this layer may publish a lot and still struggle to rank.
AI answers raise the bar further
Patients increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews about symptoms, treatments and where to get care. These systems favor sources with clear medical authority and consistent facts about providers and locations. On Growth and above we track how often your practice and clinicians appear in AI answers for priority topics and work on the entity, schema and content signals behind those mentions.
Who approves clinical content
We are a medical SEO agency, not a clinical provider. Our editors research, structure and write content, and every page with medical information goes to the licensed clinicians on your side for review before publishing. They correct, approve or reject it. We do not provide clinical review ourselves and we never publish medical claims without your clinicians' sign-off.
How the review workflow runs
- 1
Our strategist picks the topic and target query and writes a brief with sources (clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed research, public health bodies)
- 2
Our editor drafts the page in plain language at a reading level patients can follow
- 3
Your clinician reviews it in the panel or your CMS, edits facts and approves
- 4
We publish with the reviewer's name, credentials and review date on the page
- 5
Each page gets a review date, and the refresh schedule brings it back for a new clinical check
Author and reviewer bios
Each page shows who wrote it and who reviewed it. Reviewer bios list credentials, specialty, board certification where relevant, and a link to the provider page. These bios support E-E-A-T, and they give patients a reason to trust the page. We set up Person and MedicalWebPage structured data where it fits, using only facts your team confirms.
Provider pages patients and search engines both use
Patients often search for a specific doctor, a specialty in their area, or a provider who treats their condition. Provider pages should state specialty, conditions treated, procedures offered, languages spoken, locations, insurance accepted (where your practice publishes it), and a clear way to book. We structure these pages so they rank for the provider's name and specialty searches, with Physician or MedicalBusiness structured data where appropriate.
Location pages for every clinic
Each clinic needs its own page with name, address and phone matching its Google Business Profile, opening hours, services offered at that site, providers who practice there, parking and access information, and directions. Multi-location groups get a location directory that links every clinic and its providers.
| Page type | Job it does | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Provider page | Rank for name and specialty searches, build trust | Credentials, conditions, locations, booking link |
| Location page | Rank in local results for that clinic | Consistent NAP, hours, services, providers, directions |
| Service or treatment page | Rank for treatment searches, explain options | Clinician-reviewed content, who it suits, next step |
| Condition page | Answer symptom and condition questions | Reviewed medical content, when to seek care |
| Location directory | Connect all clinics and providers | Clear structure, internal links |
Google Business Profile for every location
Most patients choose a clinic from the local pack, the map results above organic listings. Ranking there depends on relevance, distance and prominence. We optimize each Google Business Profile: correct primary and secondary categories, services, hours including holiday hours, photos you supply, booking links and regular posts. We monitor suggested edits that can quietly change your details. Review management is in your hands: we help set up a compliant process for asking patients for reviews, and replies never confirm that a reviewer is a patient or discuss their care.
Citations and consistency
Health directories, insurer directories and general listings all hold your name, address and phone. Inconsistent data weakens local rankings and confuses patients. We audit and correct listings in priority order. Our local seo services page describes the full local program.
We do not need patient data
SEO for healthcare does not require protected health information (PHI). We work with aggregated analytics, search data and your website content. We never ask for patient records, appointment data or form submissions, and our work does not touch systems that store them.
How we keep access minimal
- Read-only access to Search Console and GA4
- A CMS role limited to editing pages and posts, no access to form entries or patient portals
- No changes to forms, booking tools or intake flows that collect patient information, unless your team asks and the change involves no PHI
- Least privilege for every account we hold, listed in the panel so you can revoke access any time
- No tracking pixels or scripts added to pages with patient forms
We are not a covered entity and we do not hold HIPAA certification or sign business associate agreements, because the work is designed so that we never receive PHI. Your compliance team can review the exact access we hold in the panel at any time. Enterprise includes a security and compliance pack with a data processing agreement and access log.
Plan fit by organization type
| Plan | Price per month | Fits | Monthly scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 1 500 USD | Single clinic or practice | 25 priority keywords, Google Business Profile optimization, 2 new pages, 2 refreshes, 2 editorial links, up to 10 technical fixes |
| Growth | 3 500 USD | Multi-provider practice or a few locations | 100 keywords, 2 markets, 6 new pages, 4 refreshes, 6 links, AI search visibility, quarterly competitor gaps |
| Scale | 7 500 USD | Regional group, many locations and specialties | 300 keywords, 5 markets, 14 pages, 8 refreshes, 14 links, quarterly digital PR asset, 1 CRO landing page test, dedicated senior strategist |
| Enterprise | 12 000 USD | Health systems, several sites or brands | 10 markets, 24 pages, 12 refreshes, 24 links, migration support, release reviews, seats with roles, security and compliance pack |
Annual prepay saves 20 percent. A practice with several providers and locations usually starts on Growth, since provider pages and condition content need steady output and clinician review time. Dental practices have their own page on dental seo.
FAQ
What does a healthcare SEO agency do
A healthcare SEO agency builds provider, location, treatment and condition pages that meet the higher quality bar for medical topics, improves local pack rankings for each clinic, and fixes technical issues that keep pages from ranking.
Do you review medical content clinically
No. Our editors research and write, and the licensed clinicians on your side review and approve every page with medical information. Their names, credentials and the review date appear on the page.
Do you need access to patient data
No. We work with Search Console, GA4 and your CMS. We never need patient records, appointment data or form submissions, and we keep our access to the minimum each task requires.
Do you sign a BAA
No. Our work is designed so we never receive protected health information, so we do not act as a business associate. Your compliance team can see and revoke every access we hold in the panel.
How long does medical SEO take
Local pack improvements and fixes to existing pages often show within a few months. New condition and treatment content takes longer, especially in competitive specialties. The panel shows monthly progress per page and per location.
Is there a long-term contract
No. Plans are month-to-month with no setup fee, and you can cancel in the panel any time.
