Common questions

Straight answers

Is healthcare SEO different from regular SEO?

Yes. Healthcare sites sit in Google's YMYL category, so expertise, authoritativeness, and trust signals carry more weight. Content also has to respect HIPAA and medical advertising rules, which changes what you can publish and how.

How do you keep patient data safe during a project?

Marketing work never touches protected health information. Analytics are configured so no PHI reaches Google, forms and portals are built on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, and anything touching patient records stays inside your covered systems.

What does healthcare SEO actually include?

Google Business Profile optimization, local keyword targeting, patient education content, review generation and response workflows, directory consistency, and technical fixes on the practice site itself.

Can you build the site too, not just rank it?

Yes. Development is the first pillar of the studio: practice sites, secure patient portals, appointment scheduling, and telemedicine booking are all built in-house, then ranked and measured.

How long until a practice sees results?

Local map pack and Google Business Profile improvements often move within weeks. Competitive organic rankings typically take three to six months of consistent technical and content work.
