Why Healthcare Is Different
Why Healthcare SEO Demands Higher-Quality Backlinks.
Google has the toughest content quality standards for the Healthcare industry.
01
Google holds health content to a higher standard than any other category
YMYL pages are treated with greater scrutiny for all ranking criteria. In the Search Quality Rater Guidelines, health content is treated a bit differently to Ensure E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).
02
Medical practices compete locally against hospital systems with massive authority
The average hospital or health system has thousands of authoritative links from news articles, journal citations and other partnership sites. An individual medical practice or healthcare startup will not be able to outdo or match that number.
03
Health content without authoritative backlinks sits on page 3
We still find it surprising how many medical practices continue to spend precious time and dollars producing blog entries and articles on new medical developments, medical conditions and patient education, in the hopes that people will read them.
04
EDU and institutional backlinks carry outsized weight for health topics
When it comes to evaluating YMYL content, the validity of endorsements is given high priority.
05
Telehealth and health tech brands need authority to compete with incumbents
Telehealth platforms, health apps and other medical technology companies will also fall under the YMYL guidelines.
06
AI health assistants cite editorially authoritative sources
