Patients search before they book: “orthopaedic doctor near me”, “skin clinic in RS Puram”, “best paediatrician in Coimbatore”. SEO helps your clinic appear in those searches, on Google Maps and in organic results.
Healthcare SEO has extra responsibilities: content must be accurate, and promotion must follow professional guidelines.
1. Google Business Profile first
• Separate profiles for each clinic location; individual doctor profiles where appropriate under Google’s guidelines
• Accurate categories, such as “Orthopaedic surgeon” or “Dermatologist”
• Timings, including holiday hours
• Photos of the clinic, reception and facilities
• Appointment link to your booking page
2. One page per treatment or condition
Create clear pages for the main treatments you offer, such as knee replacement, acne treatment or physiotherapy for back pain. Each page should explain:
• What the treatment or condition is, in simple language
• Who it is for
• What to expect and how long it takes
• Recovery and aftercare
• When to see a doctor
• Approximate cost range, where appropriate
3. Doctor profile pages
Patients want to know who will treat them. Include qualifications, registration details, experience, specialities, languages and consultation timings.
4. Reviews, handled carefully
Ask satisfied patients for Google reviews, and reply professionally. Never reveal patient information in replies, even if the patient mentions it.
5. Medical schema markup
Use structured data such as MedicalClinic or Physician, with address, phone, opening hours and specialities, to help Google understand your clinic.
6. Accurate, trustworthy content
Health content is held to a high standard. Have doctors write or review articles, cite reputable sources, show the reviewer’s name and qualifications, and update content regularly.
7. Follow professional guidelines
Medical advertising in India is regulated. Avoid guaranteed outcomes, exaggerated claims, and comparisons with other doctors, and check current medical council guidelines on what can be published.
8. Fast, mobile-friendly booking
Patients often search on phones, sometimes in discomfort. Make booking, calling and directions one tap away. See our clinic website guide.
