The short answer

Doctor SEO is search optimization for physicians and medical practices: Google Business Profiles for each location, pages for the conditions and services you treat, credentials Google can verify, consistent directory listings and reviews. It helps patients nearby find the right provider at the right office. Our plans start from $600 a month in 6-month cycles, with monthly reporting.

Why good practices are hard to find on Google

  • Health directories list a provider who retired, or an address from two moves ago.
  • Condition pages were written without a named doctor, so Google has little reason to trust them.
  • Urgent care hours on Google don't match the sign on the door, especially on holidays.
  • Three locations share one profile, or one location has three duplicate profiles.
  • Nobody tracks which searches bring booking requests, only overall traffic.

What Google wants to see before it ranks a health page

Google's quality guidelines treat health as a “your money or your life” topic, where wrong information can hurt someone. Its raters look for experience, expertise and trust. In practice that means a real doctor's name on the page, credentials that match outside sources, a clear practice address and content that agrees with medical consensus. A ghost-written page with no author struggles here.

That's why we start with data, not articles. A provider's name, address and specialty should match across your site, your Google profiles, the NPI registry and the big health directories. When those disagree, Google can't tell which version is true, and patients get sent to old offices. Cleaning that up is slow, unglamorous work, and it often moves rankings more than new content does.

Local urgent care terms show how winnable this is. “Urgent care fort myers” has a keyword difficulty of 4 out of 100 in our SEO OS, “urgent care cape coral” 8 and “urgent care naples” 17 (keyword data from our SEO OS, Nov 2026). Scores that low mean the organic results are open to any clinic with an accurate profile, real reviews and a solid location page.

  • Provider name, credentials and photo on every condition page
  • One location page per office, matching its Google profile
  • Holiday and storm-closure hours updated on Google
  • Directory listings checked against the NPI registry
  • Physician and clinic schema markup

Questions

Questions

What is doctor SEO?

It's local SEO adapted to medical practices. It covers the basics every business needs, such as a Google profile, pages and reviews, plus health-specific work: provider credentials, accurate directory and NPI data, careful review replies and content reviewed by clinicians. The goal is that patients searching nearby find the right provider at the right location.

Why does Google show the wrong hours or an old address for our clinic?

Usually because outside sources disagree. Google reads your profile, but also directories, insurer listings and edits suggested by the public. If an old listing still shows a closed office, Google may trust it. We correct the profile, clean up the sources and check for suggested edits every month, including closures after storms.

Can you write about conditions without giving medical advice?

Yes. Our copywriters draft plain-language pages from your clinicians' input: what the condition is, how you treat it, when to call. A named provider reviews each page before it goes live, and the page states that it's general information, not a diagnosis. That review is what both Google and patients look for.

Can an independent clinic compete with hospital systems in search?

In the map, often yes. Hospital systems win broad health searches on authority, but the Map Pack weighs relevance, distance and reviews. An independent clinic with a complete profile, a strong location page and steady reviews can appear above a nearby branch of a big system.

How much does SEO for a medical practice cost?

Plans start from $600 a month per practice for Google profiles, technical monitoring, review requests and a monthly report. Practices that need new condition and provider pages every month usually take the Growth plan, from $1,000 with 2–4 articles. Groups with many locations get a fixed quote after a short call.

Find out where your providers show up

On a 20-minute call we check one location and two providers across Google and the main directories and show you what doesn't match.
