(01) The search

Healthcare SEO in Canada. A newer name on a crowded page.

An illustration of the problem, not a real search page.

Health searches are some of the hardest on Google. When the answer can affect someone’s health, Google leans toward names it already trusts: large clinic networks and health platforms that have been publishing for years.

CloudCure offers care online, across Canada. That is a real advantage for patients, and no advantage at all on a search page where nobody has heard of you yet.

In the four months before the campaign, the site showed up on Google 4.5K times and earned 1.31K clicks. The care was there. The visibility was not.

The job was to give every high-demand service a clear place on the site, then build the trust those pages needed to keep climbing.

Read the screenshots

Start with the blue box.

Total clicks is how many times someone picked CloudCure from a Google search page and landed on the site. It went from 1.31K to 6.42K. The red frame around it was added to the screenshot. It is not part of Search Console.

Total impressions is how often the site appeared in a search at all, from 4.5K to 208K. Google started showing a newer health brand for far more searches, and the chart shows the clicks climbing with it, month after month.

(04) How we work

SEO for health brands. Clear pages first. Then trust.

A newer health brand cannot outspend the big names, so it has to out-explain them. Every service gets a clear home on the site, and the trust around those pages is built at the same time.

One clear page for every service, every question and the people behind the care.

  1. Step 01

    Give every service a clear page

    Each high-demand service gets its own page that says plainly what it is, who it is for and how to start. One clear page per service gives Google something specific to rank.

  2. Step 02

    Answer what patients ask

    Cost, eligibility, how a virtual visit works, what happens next. The questions people type before they sign up are the searches a health brand should be found for.

  3. Step 03

    Build the trust health pages need

    Links from real, relevant websites, clear details about the clinicians behind the care, and pages that are accurate and easy to check. In health, trust is what lets a page keep climbing.

  4. Step 04

    Keep the site easy to read

    A fast, clean site Google can crawl and understand, with every service page connected so trust built on one page helps the rest.

Straight answers

CloudCure, answered.

01 What changed for CloudCure?

In the four months before the campaign, Google sent joincloudcure.com 1.31K clicks. In the first four months of the campaign it sent 6.42K, more than 5,000 new clicks. The Search Console screenshots on this page show both periods.

02 What is the difference between clicks and impressions?

An impression is one time the site appeared in a Google search. A click is one time someone chose it and landed on the site. CloudCure went from 4.5K impressions to 208K, and from 1.31K clicks to 6.42K.

03 Where do these numbers come from?

From CloudCure’s own Google Search Console, the report Google gives every site owner. It compares the campaign’s first four months with the four months before.

04 Why is SEO harder for health brands?

When an answer can affect someone’s health, Google leans toward sources it already trusts. A newer brand needs clear, accurate pages and real signs of trust around them before it can hold a place on those search pages.

05 Do you work with clinics and health brands outside Canada?

Yes. We work with clinics, practices and health brands across Canada and the United States. We work with businesses doing $20,000 a month or more and take on 15 new clients a month.

06 Do reviews and the Google Business Profile matter for clinics?

Yes. For a clinic with a physical location, reviews are one of the signals Google weighs for local searches, alongside a complete Google Business Profile, consistent listings and pages that clearly match the search. We work on all of them together.

07 Is AI search part of the work?

Yes. AI search is included in every plan at no extra cost. The clear pages that rank on Google are the same pages AI answers tend to quote.

08 What does SEO for a health brand cost?

Organic SEO, local SEO, or the two together run between $1,497 and $5,000 a month. Your number depends on how many services and areas you want to win and how strong the names above you are. You get it on the strategy call.

09 What if my rankings don’t move?

If you don’t see visible improvement in your key metrics within the first 20 days, we refund $200 on top of returning your payment for that period. If your qualifying keywords aren’t on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are. There are no long-term contracts.
