Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

What is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a key tool for driving traffic to your site in online searches. SEO enhances your website's searchability when patients type a relevant keyword in their web search.

Why is SEO important?

Google search example

Search engines look for the following attributes when listing your site in user searches:

Content: The specific text on your web page, titles, and descriptions. Do the words on your site clearly explain your offerings and cover all possible terms someone might use to search for an ophthalmologist in your area?
Performance: How fast is your site? Does it function properly?
User experience: What does the site look like? Is it easy to navigate?
Reviews: Favorable user reviews will help boost your ranking in local search results. Consumers love reviews, so search engines do too. Online reviews account for 10% of how search engines decide how to rank search results.²
