Trusted by clinics and practices
A clinic can offer the best care in its field and still be invisible on Google. Patients search for conditions, treatments and "private [specialty] near me" — and if your practice does not appear, those patients book with whoever does. Most medical practices rely on referrals and word of mouth precisely because their website was never built to be found.
Aethus provides specialist medical SEO for clinics, doctors, dentists and healthcare providers. We combine medical keyword research, local SEO, technically sound optimisation and genuinely authoritative content to grow qualified patient traffic — and turn that traffic into booked appointments.

SEO built specifically for healthcare
Medical SEO is not generic SEO with clinical words swapped in. Google holds health content to a higher standard — its E-E-A-T expectations mean your expertise, authority and trustworthiness must be demonstrable on the page. We build that in: accurate, well-referenced treatment and condition content, credible practitioner authorship, and the technical foundations that let it all rank.
We pair that with the local signals clinics live on — Google Business Profile, citations and map-pack optimisation — so you capture both the patient researching a condition and the one searching for a specialist nearby.
From rankings to booked appointments
Traffic is only valuable if it converts. We focus on the high-intent searches that bring patients ready to book, and make sure the pages they land on are built to turn that intent into an enquiry. Clear reporting ties the work back to what matters: new patient enquiries, not vanity metrics.
Compliant and measurable
We track patient journeys with GDPR-compliant, privacy-respecting analytics, and report monthly on rankings, organic traffic and enquiries — so you always know the return on your investment.
E-E-A-T is a workflow, not a checkbox
Health queries sit in Google’s most heavily scrutinised category, where pages are judged on whether a real, qualified person stands behind them. We build that evidence into the site rather than claiming it in a meta tag: named clinical authorship and review on treatment content, author and reviewer structured data, dated review stamps, and citations to sources a doctor would accept.
Authority earned, not bought
Link schemes are a fast way for a medical site to lose the trust it needs most. We build authority the durable way — professional directories such as Doctify, hospital and society profiles, local citations, and content other health sites reference because it is genuinely useful.
Reporting a practice manager can read
The monthly report leads with enquiries and bookings, then the rankings and pages that produced them — so the person paying the invoice can see what changed without translating SEO jargon.

Frequently asked questions
How is medical SEO different from regular SEO?
Health content is held to Google's higher E-E-A-T standard, so demonstrable expertise, authority and trust on the page matter more than for most sectors. Medical SEO also leans heavily on local optimisation and accurate, compliant clinical content — both of which we specialise in.
How long until we see results?
SEO is a compounding investment rather than an instant switch. Most clinics see meaningful movement in rankings and enquiries within three to six months, with results strengthening over time. We report progress monthly throughout.
Do you handle Google Business Profile and local SEO?
Yes. Local SEO — Google Business Profile optimisation, citations and map-pack visibility — is central to how clinics get found, and is a core part of our medical SEO work.
Can you write the medical content too?
We produce accurate, patient-friendly, compliant content and can work with your clinicians for review and authorship, which also strengthens the E-E-A-T signals Google rewards.
How much does medical SEO cost?
Retainers are scoped to your specialty and how competitive your catchment is, then agreed as a fixed monthly figure before any work starts — no long lock-ins, and you can stop with a month’s notice. The free SEO audit is how we scope it.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does — rankings are Google’s decision, not an agency’s to promise. What we do guarantee is an agreed baseline, honest monthly reporting against it, and work you can inspect.
