How do I get my site to score in the top 10 on search engines like Google?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of making website pages as relevant as they can be for search engines to believe they are valuable enough to be considered for top rankings for as many key-phrases as possible.

Being number one in Google is largely due to the reputation management of your healthcare physician website and how relevant pages are to keyword queries. By using keywords, SEO techniques and custom content, relevant pages with the most and the best links rank at the top of Google ranking.

How does Google rank sites?

The websites that Google ranks at the top of the lists of its search results for a search term are the websites that Google considers to be the most relevant and useful. They determine which websites are the most useful and relevant by using a complex algorithm (mathematical process).

A website ranked in 1st place is the website that the algorithm has given the most relevant to the user. Google is constantly reviewing, adjusting and updating its search results, so a website that is ranked 1st today could potentially not even be on the 1st page next week.

What are the steps to develop a website for a physician practice?

An online presence is no longer optional for healthcare providers. Patients are constantly seeking health information and searching for new doctors online. Some of the things that need to be done to create a physician practice include domain name registration, custom web design template, custom medical content and using SEO techniques to routinely keep the site in the top 5 in Google search results.

What does Responsive Website mean?

Responsive Web design is implementing web technology within your website so that the website design and development should respond to the user's behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. As the user switches from their laptop to iPad or any other tablet / phone screen, the website will automatically switch layouts and design to accommodate for different resolution, image size and scripting abilities. In other words, the website should automatically 'respond' to which device the user is using to view the website.

Do I have to write all the educational content for a site or do you provide that educational content?

Educational content for medical sites is extremely expensive to create. But this content is what drives your Google organic search ranking. The only way to get into the top 10 with Google’s new content algorithms is with original educational content.

Secondly, this educational content is what prospective patients conduct searches for, along with geographic terms like your city and region, so they can find a specialist near their home.

Why is it important to have educational content in a healthcare web site?

The main reason people do a search on the Internet is related to finding out what causes their back symptoms, knee pain symptoms, shoulder pain symptoms, or to find home remedies for various specialties. They are NOT looking for an electronic brochure of a physician’s practice, location or business hours.

Physician Practice Online creates a content-rich web site that:

  • Shows up in the top 10 on Google

What can Physician Practice Online do for my physician practice?

Physician Practice Online works with primary care physicians, surgeons across many specialties, and ambulatory surgery centers. Surgical specialists who are employed by hospitals often learn that this can REDUCE their flow of patients, rather than increase it, because hospital affiliation polarizes away all the referrals related to PCPs affiliated with other hospitals.

Physician Practice Online can create an educational website for surgeons that goes direct to consumer to bypass PCP gatekeepers and create a new sustainable patient flow to the surgical specialist.

Physician Practice Online is located in the Dallas Fort Worth area of Texas and has clients across the DFW area, Texas and as far away as Alaska.

Sadly most healthcare marketing agencies that never list the key staff because they are simply web programmers, high school graduates, or staff with general college degrees.

Conversely, we have our bios listed on our web site. Physician Practice Online involves the expertise of two MBAs that are both specialized in the healthcare niche.

We handle all the stages of branding and communication from new company start up to expanding the visibility of established practices and healthcare businesses. For a physician launching a practice, we provide name development, logo development, marketing plans and budgets, business plans, competitor analysis, advice on practice location, office set up, direct to consumer promotion, social media marketing and referral development. We have referral development systems for example that uses databases of primary care physicians and chiropractors that track what information was sent and when it was mailed.

We can help the physician target the best patients for reimbursement for the best possible patient mix.
