Content is King for Search Engine Optimization

By   |  December 15, 2014

Search engines use analytic software to determine how websites show up on search engine results pages (SERPs). There are certain measures website owners can take to improve their site's organic ranking on SERPs. This practice is known as search engine optimization (SEO). There are numerous tactics to increasing SEO, among the most important is content creation. Every time a new page of content is added to your medical practice website, it forces search engines to take another look at your site. The more familiar a search engine becomes with your site, the more authority it will have on the Web. Over time, this can help positively influence your search engine ranking. To follow is a closer look at what content can do for your website, as well as your patients.

Content is Currency on the Web

The more unique, informative and authoritative content a website has, the more valuable the site becomes to a search engine. Content serves as currency online, the more time spent investing in good content, the higher up a website will appear on a SERP. You can have the most beautiful medical practice website on the Web, but if you aren't driving site traffic, you likely have a low conversation rate. The main goal of a medical practice website, or the return on investment (ROI) is to turn website traffic into new patients.
