Pennsylvania SEO & AI Optimization for Medical Organizations

Whether you’re a private practice, clinic, dental office, physical therapy group, urgent care, or a larger medical organization, patients now find providers in two places: the traditional Google results, and the AI answers that increasingly sit above them.

I am a medical SEO and AI-optimization expert. Read this page to discover why

• Search Engine Optimization done competently is the most powerful and cost-effective way to attract new patients to your practice;
• getting cited in AI answers is now part of SEO — and in healthcare it depends on accuracy, expertise, and trust more than anywhere else;
• inept SEO can quietly harm a medical brand — and how to spot poor SEO in your own website and in a prospective SEO company’s website;
• modern SEO involves hundreds of factors, not just keywords, that also convert visitors into booked appointments;
• your current SEO company — the one you’re paying each month — may be working against you by representing competing practices; and
• lastly, my aggressive, dedicated, partnership approach quickly succeeds where traditional medical SEO has failed.

AI is here. Don’t let your practice be left behind.

Does the following sound familiar?

• You’re on the third, fourth, or even higher SEO company.
• You’re tired of paying hundreds or thousands of dollars every month for SEO services and still ranking on page two or lower in Google.
• Each new SEO firm professes to be an expert in SEO for medical practices and promises to get you to the top of Google. Yet after several months, or even years, your rankings have hardly moved, stayed static, or even dropped.
• You’re ranking well for smaller towns but not for the larger markets, where there’s many times more patient demand.
• Most importantly, you’re not getting new patients from your website.

My SEO Approach Can Move Your Practice to the Top

On the other hand, your current SEO provider’s invoices seem to get delivered pretty fast!

• Add content to the website each month. Content is essential — but it’s only one component of SEO, and not all content is equal. On health topics, inaccurate or poorly written pages can hurt your position and your credibility. SEO companies understandably limit their time to match the monthly revenue.
  • Content can be generated in-house, but most often it’s boilerplate they purchase on a particular subject.
  • There’s usually very little concern that the content is something your potential patients are actually searching for. (If it’s a blog post, has anyone ever left a comment?)
  • Content is not personalized — not to the patient, and not to the practice.
• The content is then handed off to the SEO specialist, who most often awkwardly embeds preselected keywords and key phrases into the copy.
  • Read your website copy out loud. Does it trip all over itself? That uncomfortable feeling is the result of writing for search engines instead of people. I work with web copy every day, and I find copy written for search engines insulting — I can’t wait to get away from it.
• You’ll get all manner of reports analyzing your traffic.
  • Statistics are useful. But the question you rarely hear is, “How many new patients did you get from the website last month?” If you hire me, I’ll ask that question every week, because new patients are what really matter. If you’re not getting them, the dollars spent on SEO are a waste of money.
  • Do you receive a detailed explanation of what your SEO company actually did on your behalf during the month? Many SEO companies do nothing.

• I’m a medical SEO expert. But I’m first and foremost a businessman. I understand what it means to make a payroll, control expenses, and expect a return on any investment, including Search Engine Optimization.
• When I take on a new practice, or any business, I treat it like my own. As such, I want the top SEO position and increased business yesterday. Therefore, I do a tremendous amount of work on the front end of a project.
  • The value of the hours I spend on this front-end, full-court-press approach to SEO is far more than my monthly SEO fee. I want long-term partnerships with my SEO clients. The upfront effort represents my investment in the partnership.
  • Successful SEO involves immersing yourself in the service you’re marketing. By not breaking my concentration moving from one client to the next, I’m more efficient.
  • The rapid improvement in search position drives increased business. The increase is exponential.
  • Increased new-patient volume
    • proves that competent, professional medical SEO works if you have the right SEO company, and
    • very crucially, makes it a lot easier to write the check for my SEO services each month, when the amount is a fraction of the new business I’m generating.
• I’m 100% dedicated to promoting your practice. I don’t represent competing practices in the same specialty and service area, even if they offer some different services — because you may want to add a service line in the future. If I already have a client offering that service, I immediately have a conflict of interest.

SEO companies can’t logically or ethically represent competing practices, because doing so means they’re competing with themselves. No matter which client wins, the SEO company gets paid. If that doesn’t make you mad, it should.

I represent only one practice in a given specialty and service area. Please read on to learn more about my dedicated partnership approach to your practice’s success.

When you ask your current SEO company if they also represent your competition, get their denial in writing. SEO firms may initially answer no because

• separate teams work on competing accounts;
• a different office represents your competitor; or
• they “lack candor.”

Nevertheless, the conflict remains, because success for one practice’s ranking by definition damages the others. Getting the non-compete agreement in writing, signed and witnessed, will often jog the memory of many less-than-scrupulous or forgetful SEO companies.

The same SEO skills and expertise work incredibly well for medical organizations — with the added discipline that health content demands. I adapt Search Engine Optimization to your unique practice, but the core concepts remain. Let me put them to work for you.

The graphic above represents major considerations for medical SEO. There are many things to consider within each category, and smoothly integrating them all takes years of experience.

• I have to understand what makes your practice stand out from other providers. Why should a patient choose you? What do you do better, more comfortably, or more conveniently than the practice down the street?
• While I prioritize pages, I ultimately build excellence into every page on the site, because Google considers the strength of your entire site when it ranks any page. I achieve that excellence by recognizing and integrating every primary SEO consideration, including
  • web copy that is
    • topical and accurate;
    • highly readable;
    • scannable;
    • grammatically correct;
    • personalized;
    • written using the inverted-pyramid approach;
    • designed to help and inform, not lecture;
    • written in words your patients can understand, or with clinical terms explained in plain language;
    • optimized for and focused on Inbound Marketing;
    • written for people, not search engines; and
    • reassuring and professional in tone.
  • a website that is
    • fast;
    • responsive, displaying well on all devices;
    • easy to use;
    • well-organized;
    • easy to navigate;
    • accessible and privacy-respecting; and
    • built on clean code.

• Website Review — I review your website and provide a list of recommendations and the order of implementation. You get an idea of the cost. There’s no fixed amount for this service because every site is different and I do a thorough, detailed, professional job.
• SEO Management — recommendations and technical advice to existing staff. This approach is initially slow because I have to depend on other people, their learning curve, and their willingness to learn and change. It can also be political, because the relationship between webmasters and their sites is almost like a parent-child relationship. Webmasters generally don’t like other people touching it or telling them what to do.
• I can do the entire project, because I have the skills to handle all phases of SEO — including coding, images, and video — completing tasks immediately as required.

No Other Pennsylvania SEO Company Makes Professional SEO Services More Affordable

When you shop for SEO services, keep in mind that SEO experts have a wide range of capabilities and expertise, with commensurate rates. Choosing an SEO company on cost alone could be one of the most expensive decisions you ever make.

Contracts Based on Satisfying Specific Goals

This minimizes your risk and proves that I’m 100% confident of your satisfaction with the quality of my work. You’re only obligated to pay a predetermined amount — in a lump sum or by monthly payments — if I deliver the promised results. I do the vast majority of the work on the front end of a new project. The minimum amount due after achieving the agreed-upon goals protects me from a client simply canceling my services after attaining a top search position.

Negotiable Rates

I’m negotiable and creative with my fees to make the highest-quality SEO services affordable. Rates generally range from $75/hr. to $300/hr. depending on the expected length of the engagement. Total cost depends on what you want me to do and what talent you have in house. There’s no “one size fits all” with anything related to SEO, because each website is so unique.

SEO Monthly Retainer Fee

Establishing a monthly retainer fee has two major advantages.

1. You know the exact cost of your Search Engine Optimization and spread the expense evenly over time. No spikes, no surprises. You still receive a full monthly accounting of all SEO hours spent on your behalf and why.
2. I take responsibility for your Search Engine Optimization and your practice’s success personally and very seriously, and I’ll do whatever I ethically have to do and spend whatever time is required to succeed. So you’re going to get a lot of SEO bang for your buck, especially early on. When you truly understand Search Engine Optimization and Inbound Marketing, there’s always more than enough to do — more than you can do. SEO is a business process that’s never done.

I like a retainer because

1. I know what my revenues are going to be.
2. More importantly, I can be more effective, because I don’t have to worry about “running up the bill.” If I see an opportunity that’s going to take some time, I can take advantage of it.

Absolute Satisfaction Guarantee

I guarantee my work. If you’re not satisfied, you don’t pay. My overall experience with consultants in the past has been disappointing, because I expected them to know what they’re doing, hit the ground running, and deliver results. I guarantee my work because I know what I’m doing, hit the ground running, and am 100% confident I can deliver results.
