Why medical SEO is different

Medical content falls under Google's YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) category — search quality raters evaluate it with extra scrutiny for E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). A generic content agency writing medical articles without doctor authorship and editorial review will rank worse and worse as Google tightens YMYL standards. The other dimension is local: 80% of clinic searches include a city or neighbourhood. That means Local Pack ranking (Google Business Profile, review velocity, NAP consistency) is as important as organic page ranking. We build both layers — E-E-A-T content reviewed by your practitioners and local SEO infrastructure that puts you in the map pack.

FAQ — Medical clinics

Does content have to be written by a doctor?
It needs to be attributed to and reviewed by a doctor — that is the E-E-A-T signal Google evaluates. We write the content based on your practitioners' input, your practitioners review and approve it, it is published under their name with credentials visible. This is the compliant and highest-ranking approach.
How do you handle patient privacy in case studies?
All patient-story content requires explicit written consent and goes through your clinic's legal review before we publish anything. We typically work with composite case descriptions and symptom-outcome narratives rather than identifiable patient stories.
Can Google Ads run for medical services in Ukraine?
Yes — Google allows medical advertising in Ukraine with standard verification (business registration, no prohibited claims). Some prescription medication and certain elective procedures have restrictions. We handle the policy review and ad copy compliance as part of setup.
What is the typical timeline to see more patient bookings from SEO?
Google Business Profile + review velocity improvements show in Local Pack within 60-90 days. Organic ranking for treatment pages typically takes 90-180 days on a healthy domain. Paid ads can drive appointment bookings in the first 2-3 weeks.
