SEO in Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Marketing

Why healthcare SEO?

These days, it’s more important than ever for companies to have an online presence in order to build brand awareness and trust, improve reputation, provide valuable information, and drive sales and enquiries. To reap these benefits, however, it’s essential that a company is visible in the results for common search terms.

Despite the population’s increasing reliance on search engines and websites as a source of information, many pharmaceutical brands do not harness the power of online marketing. This is often due to a lack of understanding of search engine optimisation (SEO) or uncertainty about how to optimise their web presence whilst remaining compliant in their highly regulated industry.

Having a solid online presence is particularly important for pharmaceutical companies due to health care professionals’ (HCPs) increasing use of search engines as a source of information.

Physicians spend twice as much time using online resources compared to print

On average, HCPs perform 6 professional searches a day

Only 17% of physicians searched using terms related to pharmaceutical manufacturers

46% of physicians search for symptom based keywords

84% of physicians search for condition related keywords

Why SEO Matters for Healthcare Providers

When consumers want health information, the first place they turn is to a search engine like Google, Yahoo or MSN/Bing. Seeking healthcare information is one of the most common online activities among internet users of all ages. Healthcare search engine optimisation (SEO) is key to reaching these users.

Because so many people seek healthcare information on the internet, there is a significant opportunity for organisations that employ SEO strategies to reach their target audiences. Organisations that cannot be found on search engines are neglecting a huge opportunity to connect with the very people who need them most.

Whether you’re a hospital, local clinic, non-profit organisation, speciality medical practitioner, or a company serving the medical or pharmaceutical industries, if you’re in the business of healthcare, your target audiences must be able to find you online.
