Why this is hard

Common Health & Medical search problems

What tends to hold businesses in this field back online.

Two kinds of patient, one site

Medical and cosmetic patients search very differently. A single services page serves neither well.

High standards for skin cancer content

Medical dermatology, especially skin cancer, is held to a high standard. It needs expert-reviewed content to rank.

Referrals and long waits

Medical patients often wait months after referral. Clear pre-visit content reduces calls and no-shows.

Cosmetic revenue left on the table

The private-pay side carries the margin, yet it is often marketed like the medical side.

Our approach, in three pillars
01Help referred patients understand their condition
Medical pages

Help referred patients understand their condition

Medical dermatology patients search their condition and what comes next: “eczema treatment options”, “what happens at a skin cancer appointment”, “Mohs surgery recovery”. We build a reviewed page for each condition you treat, covering symptoms, treatment options and what to expect at the clinic, plus a clear page on how referrals work in your province. Because skin cancer and serious medical content is held to the highest standard, every page carries named authorship and a dermatologist’s review.

  • Pages for acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, skin cancer and Mohs
  • Dermatologist-reviewed content with named authors
  • A clear explanation of referrals and wait times
  • Pre-visit guidance for referred patients
02Treatment pages that convert private-pay clients
Cosmetic pages

Treatment pages that convert private-pay clients

The cosmetic side of a dermatology clinic behaves like a medical aesthetics business. Clients search by treatment, such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, fillers or wrinkle treatment. We build each as its own page with honest downtime and results information, worded to respect Health Canada’s rules on advertising prescription drugs, and keep it separate from the medical pages so each ranks for its own reader. This is often the most under-marketed part of the clinic, and the easiest place to improve returns.

  • Private-pay pages for laser, peels, fillers and injectables
  • Downtime and results content that helps clients decide
  • Wording reviewed against prescription drug advertising limits
  • A cosmetic section kept apart from medical content
03One local profile that supports both sides
Local presence

One local profile that supports both sides

Both sides of the clinic rely on local search. We set up your Google Business Profile for dermatology and cosmetic services, keep listings consistent across health directories, and build a privacy-conscious review routine that patients see whether they are booking a skin check or a cosmetic treatment. Review requests and responses follow PHIPA in Ontario or the health privacy law in your province, and we check your college’s rules before reviews appear in your own advertising.

  • Google Business Profile for medical and cosmetic services
  • Consistent listings across health directories
  • Privacy-conscious review requests and responses
  • One local profile supporting both revenue lines

Why CreateITivity

Our approach to Dermatology SEO

Many dermatology clinics are two businesses under one roof. The medical side treats acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and skin cancer, including Mohs surgery. In most provinces it is publicly funded and largely referral-based, so patients usually arrive with a referral from a family doctor and plenty of questions. The cosmetic side offers injectables, fillers, laser resurfacing and peels. It is paid privately and searched by treatment, much like a medical aesthetics clinic. We build separate content for each. Medical pages help referred and prospective patients understand their condition, what to expect at the appointment and how referrals work, and they meet the high standard search engines set for health information. Cosmetic pages are built to convert a private-pay client and are worded with Health Canada’s limits on prescription drug advertising in mind. Both rest on one strong local presence.

  • Senior specialists familiar with health & medical on every account
  • A plan written for this sector and your business
  • Monthly reports that link activity to revenue
  • Commitment terms agreed in writing up front

FAQs

Dermatology SEO: your questions answered

Straight answers to what Canadian clients ask us before they commit.

How do you handle the medical and cosmetic sides of our clinic?
With two separate content tracks. Medical pages help referred and prospective patients understand their condition and the referral process. Cosmetic pages are built to convert private-pay clients. Keeping them apart lets each rank for its own reader.
Is skin cancer content hard to rank?
Yes. Search engines hold serious medical topics to their highest standard, so pages need expert review, named authors and clear credentials. We build that in from the start.
Our medical side is referral-based. Does SEO still help?
Yes. Referred patients often search the clinic and their condition before the appointment. Clear pages reduce phone calls, prepare patients for their visit and support your relationships with referring doctors.
Can we mention injectable brand names on cosmetic pages?
Health Canada limits how prescription drugs can be advertised to the public, so we usually describe treatments by purpose and result. We recommend confirming specific wording with your regulator or legal adviser.
Do you optimize our Google Business Profile?
Yes. Both medical and cosmetic patients look at the local listing, so profile work, consistent listings and a privacy-conscious review routine are core to the program.
