SEO SPECIALIST · 25 YEARS · UK & GLOBAL

Healthcare SEO consultant for clinics, hospitals and medtech brands

Patients research carefully before they book, and Google holds health content to a higher standard than almost anything else. I’ve worked in-house in medtech, so I know how to build content that’s accurate, compliant and trusted, and that still ranks.

Why healthcare is different

Health search plays by stricter rules.

Google treats health as a topic where bad information can do real harm, so it asks more of the sites it ranks. Add UK advertising and clinical rules, and generic SEO soon runs into trouble.

01

Trust is the ranking factor that matters most

Google wants to see who wrote a page, who checked it and why they’re qualified. Named clinicians, clear credentials and cited sources aren’t extras in healthcare. They’re the baseline.

02

Every claim has to stand up

CQC registration, ASA and CAP rules on claims, MHRA rules on medicines and GMC guidance for doctors all shape what you can say. I write and review content with those rules in mind, so it ranks without creating risk.

03

You’re up against the NHS and the big groups

The NHS, charities and large hospital groups dominate general health searches. The way through is the searches they don’t serve well: specific treatments, named consultants and local, ready-to-book searches.

The market

More patients are choosing private care, and AI answers their first questions.

Private healthcare keeps growing, and many of those patients start with a search. More and more, the first thing they see is an AI summary rather than a list of websites.

AI tools lean on sources they can trust. Clinically reviewed, well-structured pages are how you become one of them.

What I do

SEO built for healthcare, from someone who’s worked in it.

Before Bit Quirky went full time, I was Head of Marketing at Ortho Consulting Group and Osteotec, an orthopaedic medtech group. So I know how clinical sign-off, regulation and long buying cycles work from the inside, not just from a brief.

Treatment and consultant pages that rank

The pages patients book from: one clear page per treatment and per consultant, built around how people actually search, including location and cost.

Content clinicians are happy to sign off

Accurate, plain-English content with sources cited and a clear review process, so your clinical team can approve it quickly.

Trust signals Google and patients look for

Named authors and reviewers, credentials, CQC details and reviews, presented clearly on every page that needs them.

Local search for clinics

Google Business Profile, local pages and consistent listings, so you show up when someone nearby searches for a treatment.

Visibility in AI search

Clear answers, medical schema and well-structured pages, so AI tools can find and cite your content safely.

Safe site migrations

Moving platform without losing rankings. SEON Vision moved from Squarespace to WordPress and grew straight afterwards.

FAQ

Healthcare SEO questions.

If yours isn’t here, just ask. I’m always happy to chat it through.

How long does healthcare SEO take to work?

Technical fixes can show within weeks. New treatment and consultant pages usually take three to six months to build momentum, and longer in very competitive areas.

Will you write content our clinicians can approve?

Yes. I write in plain English, cite sources and set up a simple review process, so your clinical team checks the facts rather than rewriting from scratch.

Do you understand the advertising rules?

Yes. I’ve worked in-house in medtech, and I write with CQC, ASA and CAP, MHRA and GMC guidance in mind. Final sign-off stays with you and your clinical or compliance team.

How is AI search changing healthcare?

AI summaries now answer many general health questions. They lean on trusted sources, so clear, reviewed and well-structured pages give you the best chance of being cited. Local, ready-to-book searches still lead to websites and Google Business Profiles.

Can you help with a website migration?

Yes. Migrations are one of the riskiest moments for rankings. SEON Vision moved from Squarespace to WordPress with my help and grew straight afterwards.

Where should I start?

If you want to know what’s wrong, start with an Audit. If you want it found and fixed quickly, the Sprint. If you need ongoing senior support, Consultancy. If you’re not sure, book a call and we’ll work it out together.
