Rank for the conditions, services, and specialists patients search for across Canada

Yes. Google classifies healthcare as Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) content — pages that can directly affect health decisions. These pages face the most rigorous quality scrutiny of any content type. In Canada, this intersects with Provincial College advertising regulations and PIPEDA privacy requirements that shape how your practice can present itself and communicate with patients online.

E-E-A-T — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness — is Google's quality framework for YMYL content. For Canadian practices, this means practitioners are named as content authors, their Provincial College of Physicians and Surgeons or allied health College registrations are visible on the page, specialist certifications are referenced, and clinical claims are evidence-based. Without these signals, competitive health queries have a structural ranking ceiling.

Each province's College of Physicians and Surgeons, College of Physiotherapists, College of Psychologists, and other regulatory bodies has its own advertising guidelines. These vary by province and profession, and generally restrict unsubstantiated health claims, comparative advertising, and testimonials describing clinical outcomes. We treat these as hard constraints on all content we produce.

Yes. For practices operating in Quebec or targeting French-speaking patients in bilingual markets, we produce purpose-written French-language content — not machine translation. Separate keyword research in French is included, with correct hreflang implementation.

PIPEDA restricts how patient personal information can be collected, used, and disclosed. In practice, this means analytics tracking cannot capture patient-identifying information in URL parameters or form event data, and review responses cannot reference personal health information publicly. We audit existing configurations and response practices for compliance.

Telehealth requires province-specific content — "online psychologist Ontario" and "virtual physiotherapy British Columbia" are different search contexts. We build separate pages for each province's telehealth offering, targeting the specific queries patients use in each market.

Healthcare SEO engagements in Canada typically range from CAD $2,500–$6,500 per month depending on the number of locations, provinces, specialties, and content requirements (including French-language production). A solo practitioner with one city location sits at the lower end. A multi-province allied health group with French-language content sits considerably higher. We scope every engagement after the initial diagnostic.

Yes. GBP optimisation — category selection, service descriptions, photo strategy, Q&A population, and review response frameworks — is included in every Canadian engagement, for every clinic location.
