Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

On average, more than 85% of all visitors find websites by using search engines. MedNet's Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services focus on increasing the visibility of each of our client websites individually.

Since MedNet does not operate any "Doctor-Directories" which accept physicians and dentists as listed advertisers, we concentrate on getting your website prominently ranked on major search engines directly. Under certain search terms, MedNet clients hold the top five search positions and some of our clients receive more than 2,000 visitors each month from search engine sources.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Services

In order to obtain effective positioning of your website, MedNet has determined that the the overall website design, relative content, META tags (keywords), page titles, submission frequency and geographic region or locality requires a number of techniques to influence ranking. Most practices are primarily concerned with their website's search engine ranking as it relates to their practice location(s), and MedNet SEO services concentrates our efforts towards specific towns, regions, cities and states.

Since patients now use the Internet more often than traditional products like the Yellow Pages or Directory Assistance, a highly visible ranking position can translate into new patients.

Important Information Regarding All Search Engines

Search engines typically receive more than ten thousand requests each day for new websites and for modifications to existing listings. Most of these submissions are processed for free. Since search engines do not receive payment for this, there is no incentive for these companies to extend special service towards any one website listing. You cannot realistically expect that any search engine will correct or update your particular listing within a few days, or even a few weeks. Additionally, unless you elect to pay for Express Listing Services, you should not expect to see your listing within less than 3 or 4 months, possibly longer.

It is also impossible to guarantee ranking position on normal web matches. Each search engine has its own peculiar criteria for determining which listing ranks number 1, 2, 3, etc. Although MedNet Search Engine Optimization services are very effective in getting and keeping your website ranked high, we cannot guarantee any ranking position. The only way to guarantee your ranking position is to purchase Sponsor Links which are Pay-Per-Click advertisements.
