Most patients today begin their healthcare journey online. They use Google to search for symptoms, specialists, and local services before deciding where to book. If your practice does not appear prominently in these results, you risk losing patients to competitors.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) helps your clinic appear in Google Search, Google Maps, and local listings. Unlike paid advertising, SEO builds sustainable, long-term visibility that continues to generate patients over time.
At Total Medical Design, we specialise in SEO for healthcare providers across the UK. Our strategies are designed to attract patients ethically, stay fully aligned with ASA, GMC, CAP Code, CQC, and UK GDPR standards, and deliver measurable growth for your practice.
Patients trust clinics that appear at the top of search results.
Local SEO ensures you capture patients searching “near me” on mobile devices.
Strong SEO builds authority and credibility in your community.
Sustainable visibility reduces reliance on ads for long-term growth.
We optimise your website’s structure, speed, and navigation so patients and search engines can easily find information. This includes keyword-rich headings, optimised metadata, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility.
Our healthcare-trained writers create or refine service pages, practitioner bios, and patient resources. All content is accurate, patient-friendly, and fully compliant with ASA and GMC guidance.
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing patients see. We optimise it with accurate details, high-quality photos, services, and booking links. This helps your clinic appear in Google Maps and local searches such as “GP near me” or “dermatologist London.”
SEO is an ongoing process. We provide continuous updates, content improvements, and transparent reporting to maintain visibility and adapt to search engine changes.
All SEO activities are reviewed against ASA, CAP Code, GMC, CQC, and GDPR standards to ensure your site avoids misleading claims, protects patient data, and maintains professionalism.
Stronger rankings bring more patients to your website and clinic.
Optimised listings and map visibility attract nearby patients.
Unlike ads that stop when budgets end, SEO delivers ongoing visibility.
High-ranking websites are seen as more authoritative, improving patient confidence.
Structured content, schema, and Q&As prepare your clinic to appear in Google SGE, Bing Copilot, and other AI search tools.
SEO, or search engine optimisation, improves your website’s visibility so it appears higher in Google search results when patients look for services you provide. In the UK, most patients research online before booking. Appearing at the top of search results helps you win patients who might otherwise choose a competitor.
Yes. General SEO helps your practice rank for broader service-related searches (such as “orthopaedic surgeon UK”), while local SEO ensures you appear in maps and location-based searches (such as “dentist Manchester” or “physiotherapist near me”). Both are essential for healthcare providers.
