Medical Content Benefits

What Google Wants ...

"to help and answer searchers' questions" 


Google searchers are your prospective patients, and by helping Google's searchers answer their questions Google will serve your page more. 


Therefore your content is important and in order for your website to be optimised for both your Target Patients, and Search Engines, your Content standard needs to be high. Google ranks your pages and website’s worthiness by evaluating each page's quality, value and ranking signals.

Why Medical Content Is Important?

Content signals that drive SEO can get quite complex but include:

  • Content Keywords, Synonyms & Intent Matching
  • Topic associations and co-occurrences (e.g. “best” could be associated with healthy, nutritious, low fat or a kcal count)
  • Audience - words, sentences, and paragraphs need to match the target's reading level
  • Page Structure & Flow - Headlines, sub headlines (H1, H2, H3’s) are evaluated keenly and need to match the first three points well
  • Tagging, Anchors and Links:
  • Content - Length and Comprehensiveness needs to be suitable for the topic, and does it answer the patients' questions
  • Supporting non-text content - like Video, Diagrams, Audio, Interactive Tools and Calculators, Comparison Tables, GIFs is also significant
  • Google Trust - Google’s algorithms seek to measure the trustworthiness of your website. They look for accuracy and validation signals. 

 

For health terms the YMYL Factor is important (your money or your life) and topics need to be accurate and comprehensive.
