Healthcare SEO

Why do patients choose your competitor before they’ve called a soul?

Healthcare SEO services exist for one reason: your patients research before they book. They Google the symptom, read a few articles, ask ChatGPT what it means, and decide who to trust long before the phone rings. If your practice is missing from that research, the appointment quietly goes to whoever did show up.

We’re Peachy SEO, a small team that gets clinics, private practices and healthcare groups found on Google and recommended by AI. This page is the honest version: what healthcare SEO actually involves, what it costs, and when it isn’t worth your money yet. (Yes, we’ll get to that part too.)

E-E-A-T

How does Google decide a health website knows its stuff?

Health sits in the category Google calls Your Money or Your Life, and it holds those pages to its highest quality bar. Medical guidance from an anonymous page written by nobody in particular does not clear it. Google wants to know who wrote the content, what they’re qualified to say, and whether real sources back it up.

So we build the signals that prove expertise: named clinician authorship with credentials, medical and organisation schema, citations to primary research, and content a qualified practitioner can review before it goes live. It’s slower than churning out generic blog posts. It’s also the only version that survives a core update.

Why it matters

Medical queries trigger a Google AI Overview 44.1% of the time, the highest rate of any topic and more than double the all-category average, according to Ahrefs’ analysis of 146 million searches reported by Search Engine Land. Weak E-E-A-T doesn’t just cost you a ranking. It keeps you out of the answer the patient actually reads.

What we build in

  • Named clinician bylines with credentials and a real author page
  • MedicalOrganization, Physician and FAQ schema markup
  • Content structured for a qualified practitioner to review before publishing
  • Citations to primary medical sources, not other blogs
  • Practice, provider and condition pages that show genuine expertise
  • About, accreditation and trust pages that stand up to scrutiny

How we keep it clean

  • Analytics configured to avoid capturing protected health information
  • Conversion tracking on bookings and calls, not patient identities
  • Forms and lead capture reviewed for compliant data handling
  • No remarketing setup that leaks condition or page-level data
  • Consent-aware and server-side tracking where it belongs

Compliance

Can you run analytics and ads without tripping over HIPAA?

Yes, but not with the default setup most agencies bolt on. A standard analytics or remarketing pixel can quietly send protected health information, the page a patient viewed or the condition they searched, to third parties that were never authorised to receive it. In healthcare, that is a reportable breach, not a clever growth hack.

We set up tracking that measures what’s working without leaking what shouldn’t leave. Conversion data tied to bookings, not to identifiable patients. If a tag can’t be made compliant, it doesn’t go on the site. We’re not your lawyers, but growth that quietly creates legal risk isn’t growth we’re interested in selling you.

AI search

Is an AI answer deciding before the patient reaches you?

Increasingly, yes. On health queries, Google now writes the answer at the top of the page, and the patient often never scrolls to your site at all.

Ranking first is no longer the finish line. If the AI Overview answers the patient’s question using someone else’s content, your number-one spot is invisible to them. We structure your pages so the answer engines quote you, not the clinic down the road, using definition-led passages, clear statistics and the schema AI crawlers read.

Straight pricing

What does healthcare SEO actually cost?

US small and mid-sized businesses spend $1,000 to $2,500 a month on SEO on average, according to Backlinko’s 2025 pricing survey. Peachy is a flat £300, £600 or £900 a month, the same figure for everyone. That is the number most agencies make you fill in a form to see, and if an agency won’t publish its prices, the price tends to change based on what they think you’ll pay.

PlanMonthly priceBest for
The Seed£300 / $300A single-location practice stepping into SEO and AI visibility
The Blossom£600 / $600Competitive local markets or a multi-provider practice
The Harvest£900 / $900Groups and multi-location clinics going for regional reach

Same number whichever symbol you see, £ for UK visitors and $ for everyone else. Every plan is month-to-month with no setup fee, and the price is the same figure in either currency by design.

Healthcare SEO covers everything that gets your practice found and trusted: clinician-reviewable content, condition and treatment pages, technical fixes, Google Business Profile management, medical schema, backlinks earned through outreach, and AI search optimisation. At Peachy it is one managed service from £300 a month, with no contract.

Most practices see ranking movement in 3 to 6 months and meaningful traffic growth in the same window. AI search visibility often shows up faster, usually 4 to 8 weeks as optimised content gets indexed. Anyone promising page one next week is selling something that will not last.

Health is Your Money or Your Life content, so Google holds it to its highest quality standard. It wants named, qualified authors, real credentials, medical schema and citations to primary sources. Weak expertise signals get filtered on core updates and kept out of AI Overviews, which is why we build authorship and review into every page. It is the same work that gets a brand cited in AI responses.

Yes, on the searches that actually bring you patients. You will not outrank a hospital for broad terms, but local and condition-specific searches, like "[treatment] [town]" or "dentist near me", are won on relevance, reviews and a well-run Google Business Profile, not brand size. That is where a focused practice beats a chain.

Often it is not, and most practices do not know. Standard analytics and remarketing pixels can send protected health information to third parties without consent. We configure tracking to measure bookings and calls without capturing patient identities, and drop any tag that cannot be made compliant. We cannot give you legal sign-off, but we will not set up anything we would flag as a risk.

We write it, with real people, and structure it for a clinician to review before it publishes. Fully automated AI content does not get cited by AI, because answer engines reward demonstrated expertise and original sources that bulk-generated text does not have. We use tools to work faster, not to replace the expertise health content needs.

US small and mid-sized businesses spend $1,000 to $2,500 a month on SEO on average, per Backlinko's 2025 survey. Peachy is a flat £300, £600 or £900 a month, the same number for everyone, month-to-month, with no setup fee. The plan sets the volume of keywords, content and backlinks, and every plan gets the full service.
