Hospital SEO in Kannur

• A technical audit covering indexing, page speed on a mid-range Android phone, broken links, duplicate pages and redirects, with fixes made directly or briefed to your web developer
• One page per department or treatment with conditions treated, the procedure in plain words, consultants, OPD days and visible call and WhatsApp buttons
• A page for each branch with the same name, address and phone as its Google listing, marked up with Hospital or MedicalClinic structured data
• Matching name, address and phone details on Justdial, Practo and other directories for every branch, so Google sees one consistent organisation
• Malayalam companion articles on common conditions, reviewed by your doctors before they are published
• A monthly report showing rankings for a fixed list of priority searches, organic visits to each department page and the calls and WhatsApp clicks those pages produced

1. 1
   Audit. We search the way a patient in Kannur would, for your main treatments and doctors, and record who appears above you on Google Search and Maps. We also crawl your website and list its technical problems in order of how much they hold you back. In Kannur, the benchmark is the three nearest hospitals and clinics on Google Maps.
2. 2
   Search map. We match each patient search to one page on your site and agree with you which services to start with, usually those patients nearby already search for, with doctors available to see them and willing to review content.
3. 3
   Build and fix. We fix the technical issues first, then write or rewrite department, treatment and doctor pages. Your doctors check every medical statement, and we check every claim against Indian healthcare advertising rules before publishing.
4. 4
   Measure. Each month we report rankings for the agreed searches, visits to each page and the calls and WhatsApp enquiries that came from search, then put effort into the pages closest to page one. By day 90 you can see which searches around Kannur bring calls, and the budget follows them.

Kannur has Government Medical College Kannur at Pariyaram, about 25 km north of the city, the District Hospital in town and private hospitals such as Aster MIMS at Chala, along with clinics, labs and dental practices around Thavakkara and Fort Road. The Malabar Cancer Centre is at Thalassery, and the city takes patients from across the district up to the Karnataka border in the eastern hills. Many Kannur families have Gulf connections, and the city also serves patients from the hilly east of the district around Iritty and Taliparamba who often come in by bus; people search in Malayalam and English and trust doctors they hear about through family and community networks.

We run hospital SEO by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and fertility and IVF clinics in Kannur are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KannurKannur's private hospitals compete with the Government Medical College at Pariyaram and, for planned surgery, with Kozhikode and, for some families in the north of the district, Mangaluru, so each department needs its own page with its consultants and facilities.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KannurKannur International Airport at Mattannur has direct flights to several Gulf cities, so Gulf-based couples from the district can fly in close to home for consultations and treatment cycles, and a fertility clinic that plans around short leave and explains timelines clearly is easier to choose.
• Cancer centre marketing in KannurFamilies in Kannur often weigh treatment close to home against months of travel for chemotherapy or radiotherapy, so a cancer service in Kannur city should state plainly which treatments, screening and follow-up it offers on site, factually and without any suggestion of cure.
• Dialysis centre marketing in KannurPatients from hill towns such as Iritty and Alakode face long bus journeys for every session, so a Kannur centre that publishes its early-morning or evening shifts and explains how to join its list is easier for families to plan around.

Technical fixes and the first new pages are usually live within two to three months, and less contested local searches in Kannur often start to move within three to six months. Competitive treatments take longer, often six to twelve months, and nobody can honestly guarantee a Google position. Hospital SEO is usually run as a monthly retainer, with the number of new or rewritten pages per month written into the scope. The fee depends mostly on how many departments, doctors and branches need pages, how many languages you want, how contested your specialties are and how much repair the current website needs. If the site cannot be fixed economically, a rebuild is quoted separately as a website project. See how our pricing works.

From Kannur, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 270 km, six to seven hours by road. The train from Ernakulam takes about six hours and is usually easier than the drive. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Thavakkara, Caltex junction and Thana, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• Hospital SEO: how we work

Can you guarantee first position on Google for hospitals and clinics in Kannur?

No, and be wary of anyone who does, because nobody controls Google's rankings. What we commit to is the work: an agreed number of pages each month, technical fixes, listing clean-up and a fixed list of searches we report on every month, so you can see whether the trend is moving.

Our website was built by another company. Can you do SEO without rebuilding it?

Usually, yes. We need admin access to the website, Google Search Console and Google Analytics, and either the ability to publish pages ourselves or a developer who will apply our fixes. If the site is built in a way that blocks basic changes, we say so after the audit and leave the rebuild decision to you.

Why do Practo and Justdial rank above our own hospital or clinic website?

Directories have thousands of pages and strong links, while many clinic and hospital websites have a single 'Services' page that cannot compete for a specific treatment search. You can still win searches that name a treatment, a doctor or a locality by having a detailed page for each. Keep your directory profiles accurate as well, because patients use them too.
