Promotion of the medical center website

Promotion of a private clinic website in Yandex and Google search engines. Features of the niche, problems, as well as the results of SEO work after several months of work.

In mid-April, a client approached us with a request to promote the website of a medical clinic. After conducting a site audit, analyzing the niche and competitors, we began SEO work. In this article we will talk about the problems that have arisen, the peculiarities of the medical field and the results of the work.

About the medical center

The medical center provides a wide range of services: diagnostics (ultrasound, CT, MRI, X-ray and others), as well as treatment of diseases in various fields of medicine (urology, gastroenterology, dentistry, etc.). The clinic employs more than 40 doctors of various specialties.

Previously, the site had already been promoted by another specialist, and a certain amount of work had been carried out. Some of the key queries were in the TOP 10 of Yandex and Google.

Promotion goal

  • Increase visibility in priority areas.
  • Attract more traffic through organic search results.
  • Increase the number of appointments made through the website.
  • Increase the number of calls to the clinic.

We focused on achieving these goals, and below are the results for each area.

SEO promotion results

Before starting work, we monitored the positions in order to have a reference point. Since the launch, there has been an increase in visibility on optimized pages.

Results by position - Yandex

After optimizing some sections of the site, there is an increase in visibility for key queries.

Overall increase in the visibility of all queries in the TOP 10:

Positions in the Computed Tomography (CT) section improved after optimization. Within a few weeks of the changes, positive growth began.

The text on the MRI section page was updated, which also led to improved positions for key queries.

Results by Position - Google

Since the start of work, an increase in visibility has also been noticed, however, during a major update to the Google search engine in May, traffic decreased slightly. Despite this, the positions managed to improve slightly.

Traffic result

Traffic from Google was impacted by algorithm changes, resulting in a short-term decline of 40%. However, positions began to recover.

Results for calls and requests

There has been an increase in the number of calls and requests on the site after optimization and development of all goals and tracking calls using analytical systems.

Niche Features

Promoting medical websites is a special task. Large aggregators, directories and federal clinics compete in the niche. Therefore, SEO promotion in this industry requires a special approach.

In addition, it is important to consider the requirements for EAT factors (Expertise, Authority, Trustworthiness), which are basic for medical sites classified as YMYL (Your Money or Your Life).

Project problems

  • Incorrectly written meta tags (title, description) and problems with keywords.
  • Non-unique and non-optimized texts on pages, with an overabundance of keywords.
  • The presence of technical duplicates, which reduced the efficiency of indexing and crawling of the site.
  • Problems with page relevance and position jumps.
  • Lack of link profile development.
  • Unoptimized EAT factors, which is critical for medical websites.

May Google Core Update

With the release of search engine updates in May, traffic decreased, but we have taken all measures to restore our position and continue to work to improve EAT factors.

How did the promotion begin?

Before starting work, we conducted a detailed technical audit of the site, identified errors and prepared recommendations for correcting them. We also analyzed competitors and their SEO strategies, which allowed us to draw up an action plan to improve the site’s position.

Summing up

After several months of work, you can see a positive improvement in positions for key queries and an increase in visibility in important sections of the site.

However, further successful promotion requires the development of a number of technical aspects, such as improving texts, optimizing meta tags and strengthening the link profile.
