Hospital SEO in Kasaragod

• A search map of what patients type for each service you offer, in English, Malayalam and Manglish, with one target page assigned to each search so your own pages do not compete with each other
• 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
• Doctor profile pages with degrees stated exactly, registration status and registration number (the SMR/NMR number for medical doctors), special interests, languages spoken and consulting days, marked up with IndividualPhysician structured data
• 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
• 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 Kasaragod 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 Kasaragod, the first check is how you appear for searches made around Kasaragod new bus stand.
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 Kasaragod bring calls, and the budget follows them.

Kasaragod has the government General Hospital in town, the Government Medical College at Ukkinadka, the District Hospital at Kanhangad and private hospitals including Aster MIMS Kasaragod at Chengala. For years many families have crossed the Karnataka border to Mangaluru, about 50 km north, for specialist and tertiary care. Kasaragod is multilingual, so patients may speak Malayalam, Kannada, Tulu, Beary or Konkani at home, and many move between Kasaragod and Mangaluru for work, study and treatment; Gulf-linked families are common in the coastal towns.

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

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KasaragodWhen the border crossing to Mangaluru was closed during the 2020 lockdown, Kasaragod families saw how much they depended on hospitals across the state line, so a local hospital that sets out its emergency and specialist services clearly speaks to a concern many still remember.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KasaragodMany coastal families in Kasaragod have members working in the Gulf, and couples often compare fertility clinics across the state line before deciding, so a clinic here needs clear timelines, first consultations by video and information that lets a couple plan around a short leave.
• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in KasaragodLong-term disability care is a real need in parts of Kasaragod, including among families affected by the endosulfan once sprayed on the district's cashew plantations, many of whom rely on government support, so a physiotherapy clinic should state plainly which services and schemes it works with and never use the issue to sell.
• Dialysis centre marketing in KasaragodDialysis was among the services most affected when the border closed in 2020, and patients in the north of the district still weigh a slot close to home against travel two or three times a week, so a Kasaragod centre's shift timings and waiting-list process need to be easy to check.

Technical fixes and the first new pages are usually live within two to three months, and less contested local searches in Kasaragod 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 Kasaragod, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 360 km, eight to nine hours by road. An overnight train from Ernakulam is usually the easiest way to make the trip. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Kasaragod new bus stand, Kasaragod railway station and Vidyanagar, 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 Kasaragod?

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.
