Bring Patients and Consumers to Your Hospital
Website with the #1 SEO Agency in Healthcare
Hospitals need a strong digital presence to maintain their reputation and continue bringing patients through their doors. A hospital’s website is often how people find, contact, and decide to use a hospital. At Cardinal Digital Marketing, we specialize in making sure patients, partners, and doctors can find you with cutting edge SEO strategies.
Comprehensive Hospital SEO that Targets Healthcare Consumers
When people have questions about healthcare, the first place they turn is Google. Healthcare consumers will look online to find your facilities, look up their health records, or even book appointments and surgeries.
To make sure those consumers see your pages, our team will assess your current SEO performance, work with you to build a tailored end-to-end plan, then launch, monitor, and fine tune your SEO strategy so your hospital can continue ranking well into the future.

We will always target keywords with higher probability of driving qualified traffic to your hospital website—healthcare consumers, prospective and current patients, as well as other physicians and partners.

FAQ About Hospital SEO Services
What is SEO and why is it important for hospitals?
When people look for information about healthcare providers, they go to Google first. To make sure that your hospital’s web pages show up in search for the audiences you serve, you need to invest resources toward search engine optimization (SEO).
SEO is a constantly evolving discipline—a set of web best practices that help hospitals position their websites in a way that search engines love. Of course, Google and other search engines run on an algorithm that is updated regularly. To keep up, hospitals can rely on SEO agencies like Cardinal that help make sure that their most important web pages continue to rank.
How do you measure success for hospital SEO projects?
Our goal is to put in place SEO strategies that get the right eyes on your website over the long term. Our team of SEO experts will monitor page rankings, cost per lead, featured snippets, organic search traffic, and other important key performance indicators for SEO. We’ll also track how this traffic is converting into things like form-fills, appointments, and other important outcomes that hospitals hope to drive through their websites.
How soon can we expect results?
SEO does not happen overnight, especially for a market as saturated as healthcare. What we do know is that any SEO agency promising quick results is misleading you. The timeline for SEO success will vary depending on your hospital’s current website, your specific needs, budget, and organizational objectives.
Additional Resources for Hospital SEO Services
Remember when CVS and Aetna announced their merger back in 2017? At the time, it was the latest blockbuster in a series of high-profile healthcare mergers, a trend that has continued into 2021. Cone Health and Sentara. Four hospitals on the south side of Chicago merge. Tenet Healthcare just announced plans to acquire up to 45 ambulatory surgery centers.
Now more than ever, patients call the shots. Thanks to 24/7 internet access and unprecedented access to information, patients can be a lot more selective when it comes to finding and choosing a healthcare provider. Maybe they want to switch primary care providers. Or maybe they need to find a reputable implant surgeon for the dental procedure they need.
When we talk about driving growth with search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC), we’re talking about ways to get to the top of the search engine results. We’re talking about outranking competitors and outstripping advertisers. We’re talking about winning both organic and paid search engine traffic.
