Healthcare SEO services from Urban Geko

Patients search before they call. They look up symptoms, treatments, providers near them and reviews, and they choose from the first few practices that look credible. Healthcare SEO makes sure your practice is one of them.

Urban Geko has designed and marketed websites for medical practices since 2004, so we approach SEO with the site, the content and the patient journey in view together. We look at where your practice stands today, what is holding it back, and what will bring in more of the patients you want.

The problems this work addresses

Situations this service can address:

New-patient calls have flattened even though the practice is busy and well reviewed
Competitors with weaker credentials outrank you for your main procedures
Your Google Business Profile shows the wrong hours, categories or photos
Service pages are thin, duplicated, or written for doctors rather than patients
The site is slow on phones, or a past redesign lost rankings
AI search tools describe your practice inaccurately, or not at all

What the service can cover

The work is shaped around your specialties, locations and goals. It can include:

Technical SEOSite speed, mobile usability, crawl errors, redirects, and schema for physicians, locations and procedures.
Patient-focused contentProcedure and condition pages written for patients and reviewed by your providers, following Google’s guidance on medical expertise (E-E-A-T).
Local SEOGoogle Business Profile, a page for each office, a reviews strategy, and consistent listings across directories.
AI search visibilityMaking your practice easy for ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews to describe and cite accurately.
ReportingCalls, form fills and appointment requests, not only rankings.

Deciding what comes first

We start with an audit that ranks the fixes by their likely effect and the effort they take. For most practices, the first month covers technical issues and the Google Business Profile, because those tend to move fastest. Content for your highest-value procedures comes next.

Compliance and patient privacy

Healthcare marketing carries obligations most industries don’t. We keep protected health information out of analytics, forms and ad platforms, review tracking pixels and form handling with HIPAA in mind, and work with your compliance lead on anything patient-facing. More on this: HIPAA email marketing compliance risks.

Specialties we work with

Plastic surgery, dermatology, med spas, dental, and multi-location medical groups. Specialty guides:

How the work runs

SEO is continuing work, so here is what that looks like.

1

 

Audit

Your site, Google Business Profile, rankings and two or three competitors, reviewed in weeks 1 to 2.

2

 

Prioritize

Fixes ranked by effect and effort, agreed with you before work starts.

3

 

Fix

Technical changes and Business Profile cleanup, usually in month 1.

4

 

Publish

New and improved procedure pages, reviewed by your providers, in months 2 to 3.

5

 

Refine

Monthly reporting on calls and appointment requests, and adjustments based on what moved.

What we measure

Organic calls and form fills, appointment requests, rankings for your priority procedures in your service area, and Google Business Profile actions such as calls, direction requests and website clicks. Where tracking is part of the engagement, we set it up so no patient health information is collected.

What shapes the cost

The number of locations
How many procedures or services you want to rank for
How much content we write
How much technical repair the site needs

We quote after the audit, so the scope matches what your practice actually needs.

Questions practices ask before starting

How long until we see results?

Technical and local fixes often show movement in 4 to 8 weeks. Content usually takes 3 to 6 months to build steady new-patient traffic.

Do you write medical content?

Yes. Our writers draft patient-focused pages, and your providers review them before anything goes live.

Can you work with our current website?

Usually. If the site itself is holding you back, we’ll say so and show you the trade-offs.

Is this HIPAA compliant?

We design the work so no patient health information goes into marketing tools, and we review tracking and forms with your compliance contact.

Do you work with multi-location practices?

Yes. Each location gets its own page and Google Business Profile plan.

Where to start

Tell us which patients you want more of, where the practice shows up today, and any compliance requirements the work has to respect. We’ll review your site, your Google Business Profile and two competitors, then tell you what we’d fix first.
