SEO for Healthcare Practices, $2,000 + GST a Month

SEO · Rung three of the New Patient Growth Ladder

SEO for Healthcare Practices Ready to Grow

New pages every month for the services, conditions and suburbs you want more of, written from your own expertise, on a website already built to book.

Why am I paying for SEO and not getting more bookings?

Usually because the SEO sits on a website that was never built to rank or to book. More blog posts and backlinks can't fix the foundation.

What's going wrong now

  • Paying for SEO and can’t point to one extra booking
  • A new clinic or practitioner with gaps in the diary
  • Patients nearby finding the practice down the road first
  • No idea whether to keep paying or cancel

What you get with SEO on a New Patient Growth Website

  • Bookings you can trace back to Google
  • New patients finding every clinic and every practitioner
  • Showing up when people near you search for what you treat
  • A clear answer each month on what SEO brought in

For a chiropractor in Mackay: we rebuilt his website before anything else. Online bookings went from 5.9 to 9.3 a day in the first 10 days, and he stopped his SEO.

Website + SEO

Why we always update your website before SEO

SEO adds pages to your website. If the website underneath is slow, vague or hard to book on, every new page inherits the problem, and you pay each month to grow something that doesn't work.

So we start with rung one: a page for every main service, linked to your Google profile, built to book. Most of your SEO is done the day we build your website. Monthly SEO adds the next pages and local links on top.

Your website is the foundation of your marketing. That's why we only do SEO on a New Patient Growth Website.

Example for a physio practice: the website comes first, then SEO adds pages to it every month.

Why your pages will rank

We interview you first, so every page is unique to your practice

Google ranks pages that are unique and helpful. Nobody else can write what you know about your patients, so we put you in every page.

  1. Step 1

    We map where you show

    A rank map for each service across your suburbs shows where to build next.

  2. Step 2

    We interview you

    What you see in the clinic, how you treat it, and the questions patients ask you.

  3. Step 3

    We write the next pages

    From your practice brain, in your voice, and linked to the pages already there.

What Google says it looks for

Google's own guidance asks for helpful, reliable content written for people. It calls it E-E-A-T.

  • ExperienceYour years treating real patients, in your words.
  • ExpertiseHow you explain the problem and the way you treat it.
  • AuthorityYour qualifications, your approach and what you’re known for.
  • TrustReal details, AHPRA-safe claims, and a Google profile that matches your website.

Case study · A chiropractor in Mackay

Website first. Then he didn't need SEO.

He was paying for SEO on a website that wasn't built to book. We rebuilt the website first, with a page for each of his most profitable services.

  • Online bookings a day5.99.3First 10 days after launch
  • “Book now” clicks a day8.729More people starting to book
  • Bookings on his best day717Old site’s best day vs the new one

Then he got so busy he stopped his SEO and cut back his Google Ads.

SEO is rung three

Finish rung one before you ever climb to rung three. We always update your website before we start SEO.

    Enough new patients on its own. You don’t need SEO or Google Ads.

    Only climb when you’re adding practitioners or opening a second location

    Only once rung one is done: on a website that isn’t right, ads cost more and work worse.

  3. This page
    Rung 3 adds

    SEO

    Only climb when you have several locations, several disciplines, or both

    Only once rung one is done: we always update the website before SEO.

    + monthly SEO
Each rung keeps everything below it and adds one tool. Every step up adds a monthly bill.

Most practices don't need SEO. With one or two practitioners at one location, your website and Google profile usually bring in enough new patients.

SEO is for practices with more to fill. Several clinics, several disciplines, or both, and the patience to let it build. SEO takes months, not weeks, so we'll tell you on the call if you're not there yet. Need patients sooner? That's Google Ads.

SEO questions practice owners ask

How much does SEO cost for a healthcare practice?

SEO for a healthcare practice costs $2,000 + GST a month with us for up to two locations, plus $500 + GST a month for each location after that. There’s no setup fee and a six-month minimum, then it’s month to month. It sits on top of your New Patient Growth Website, which is $7,500 + GST, paid once, or three payments of $3,000 + GST. Hosting for the website is $50 + GST a month.

Does my practice need SEO?

Most practices don’t need SEO. With one or two practitioners at one location, a website and Google profile built properly usually bring in enough new patients. SEO makes sense when you have several locations, several disciplines, or both, and more diary to fill than rung one can.

How long does SEO take to bring in bookings?

SEO takes months, not weeks, to bring in bookings you can count. New pages can start showing within a few weeks, but it builds over time, which is why there’s a six-month minimum. If you need patients in the next 30 days, SEO isn’t the answer; Google Ads is.

Should I do SEO or Google Ads first?

Google Ads first, for most practices. Ads bring in bookings within weeks and you can measure every dollar. SEO builds more slowly: it takes months, not weeks. That’s why Google Ads is rung two and SEO is rung three, and both only once your website is right.

Can you do SEO on my current website?

No. We only do SEO on a New Patient Growth Website. SEO adds pages to your website, so if the website underneath is slow, vague or hard to book on, every new page inherits that. Not sure where yours stands? Get a free website audit.

We have several locations. How does SEO pricing work?

SEO pricing covers up to two locations for $2,000 + GST a month. Each location after that is $500 + GST a month, because each one needs its own Google profile, its own suburb pages and its own rank map.

Do I need to blog every week for SEO?

No. Weekly blog posts rarely bring in local patients. Your patients search for a service, a condition or a suburb, so that’s what we build pages for. A blog post only earns its place when it answers a question patients ask that no service page covers.

Can you guarantee a number one ranking on Google?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings, and it depends on how many practices compete near you and how far the searcher is from your door. We show you where you rank across your suburbs every two weeks, so you can see it move.

Is your SEO AHPRA-compliant?

Yes. Every page is written inside AHPRA’s advertising rules for health practitioners: no testimonials, no promises about outcomes, no “best” or “leading” claims. You read and sign off every page before it goes live.

Does SEO help my practice show up in ChatGPT?

Mostly, yes. ChatGPT and Google’s AI answers look for the same things: a clear page for each service, a Google profile that matches your website, and details that are the same everywhere. Getting SEO right does most of the work for AI search too. See how AI SEO works.

Do I keep the pages if I stop SEO?

Yes. Every page we write lives on your website, and you own your website. If you stop SEO after the six-month minimum, the pages stay and keep working.
