Pro Tips & Insights
01
Compounding Authority: Content published in Week 02 ranks 3x higher in Week 13 than content published in Week 10 due to accumulated internal link equity and topical relevance signals.
02
Internal Linking as Patient Navigation: Orphaned patient education pages (zero internal links) will never rank or guide patients effectively. Link strategically from core services to educational hubs.
03
Patient Intent > Search Volume: A keyword with 50 searches but high 'Treatment-Seeking Intent' is 10x more valuable than a 5,000-search 'General Health Information' term.
04
Consistent Publishing Signals Trust: Search engines learn your clinic's publishing cadence. Drip-feeding 10 high-quality patient guides weekly is often more effective than a 100-page dump initially.
