SEO promotion
of medical clinics

We believe in the power of SEO and that purposeful constant work in a given direction always brings results.

SEO (search engine optimization) helps drive organic (i.e. free) traffic to a website.

Working with SEO is aimed at raising the site in the issuance of a search engine. Conventionally, your clinic "herds the bottom" on the 3rd page of Google search results (which almost no one ever goes to), and you want to be in the TOP-5 of organic results, right after paid ads. To do this, it is necessary to work with the site, regularly deal with its internal and external optimization.

External optimization is aimed at creating and increasing the link mass.
Links to clinic sites are obtained mainly in four ways.

✅ We place on third-party resources thematic articles (alternating medical directions and topics) or press releases (brand materials about the clinic, in particular clinic news, in which we "highlight" unique features and advantages compared to other medical institutions). This way we get both a link to the site
and a mention of our client with up-to-date contact information.

Link building by purchasing links on stock exchanges with trusted webmasters is the main method
of external optimization.

Classic links purchased on stock exchanges, in our practice, even flew into Google's Top 10 for targeted information requests. So we recommend it!

✅ Using crowd marketing. We post links on various forums (we try to search with medical topics), blogs, social networks, and thematic groups. You can either join an open topic or create your own thread - ask
the question "Advise the best neurologist for a child in Odessa" and already in the answer give
a recommendation with a link to the site (of course, our client).

It is important to choose large popular forums with a good reputation for placement - of which there are not many. The selection of sites should be done carefully, selecting relevant topics and working out the most native comments so that they are not deleted by moderators.

From time to time we use to this method, but we sincerely do not recommend it to beginners in SEO optimization, as in inept hands crowd marketing becomes a spammy method and an outright waste of money

✅ Sometimes we use registration in catalogs and services. This is an additional promotion channel with a high level of trust in reviews about doctors.

We take into account not only paid, but also free channels to attract customers. What matters is the effectiveness of these tools.

✅We also use Google My Business as part of external optimization.

We use all the features of GMB and work with the clinic page – this tool is not related to SEO, but it works great for increasing impressions and attracting organic traffic.

Maintaining a company page on Google My Business gives good results with minimal effort.

Posting information about the company gives you a chance to get closer to the target audience, drive traffic to the site, increase consumer awareness and, importantly, bring in real customers. At the same time, statistics show that in the medical segment, the conversion rate for this tool is very high. User conversion from Google My Business - about 25%.

✅ Technical optimization of the site (sitemap, markup, loading speed, elimination of errors, duplicate pages, setting up relinking, image optimization, etc.).

To clearly understand what actions are required as part of technical optimization, we always conduct a comprehensive SEO audit of the site at the beginning of work - and, based on it, we work out the technical specifications for the programmer. Tasks that an SEO-specialist can perform on their own are singled out and implemented separately.

We also recommend carrying out a periodic technical audit - at least once a year, and preferably once every six months.

In addition to tracking the current situation and improving the site, this will also allow you to quickly respond to Google changes, updating optimization requirements, etc.

Our practical experience shows that organic can consistently bring up to 50% of all traffic, and sometimes even outperform paid promotion.

An example of one of the clinics where the number of conversions from organic exceeds the number
of conversions received using contextual advertising (indicators for one reporting month, from the 01st
to the 31st of the month):

Our agency has been providing marketing support for the Complimed complex clinic since its opening
in May 2020. based on the marketing plan we developed.

The work was started from scratch, so we can observe a step-by-step increase in traffic.

Remarkably, in proportion to the traffic, the number of goals achieved, that is, the number of conversions received thanks to organic, also grows.

It is clearly seen that working with SEO has a cumulative effect.

In this case, there is an optimization of an already existing site, work with which was carried out earlier.

Our agency has provided marketing support since February 2021.

Since then, we have been active in several areas:

• activated link promotion (including preparing special materials for placement as press releases);
• carried out an SEO audit;
• made recommendations to improve the website, launched their implementation;
• created a blog;
• заполнили страницу компании в GMB
• filled out the company page in GMB
  
  

As a result, we see traffic and number of achieved goals increase:

Among our clients there are not only private clinics, but also a state medical institution
- the Children's City Clinic No. 6 "Compass".

For a government agency, organic traffic is key, since paid channels are not used to promote the site.

Traffic to the site is provided through organic traffic, direct clicks, clicks from social networks and referral links.

We started work in May 2021. and immediately launched an SEO promotion. Before the start
of marketing support for the client, we see a lack of organic traffic. Now - the monthly growth of traffic is about 2 times.

This case is interesting because it is not a classic example: in the case of the Compass website, we see a non-standard gradual "rollout" of the site, but a very fast return on resource optimization and a dynamic growth of organic traffic.

The site development potential is very high. It is planned to create pages of services
and directions, add an educational direction, disclose projects (implemented and planned).
But even without this, the traffic growth rate is impressive and inspiring.

External and internal SEO-optimization of the site helps to improve the position of the company in search results and get free traffic. This work does not imply an instant "take-off"
of organic traffic, but a cumulative effect and a delayed result.

The main thing is to act methodically and use the right methods to optimize the resource!
