Pro Tips & Insights
01
Relevance > DR. A link from a DR20 specialty medical journal is often more valuable for private practice SEO than a DR80 general news site.
02
Personalization is mandatory. If your outreach template looks like it was sent to 1,000 practice managers, it will be ignored by 1,000 practice managers.
03
Focus on 'Link Magnet' assets. Create practice management calculators, compliance checklists, or patient flow simulators that people *want* to link to naturally.
04
Monitor your 'Link Velocity'. A sudden spike in low-quality links can trigger manual review. Aim for steady, high-quality growth from relevant healthcare entities.
