Why this checklist exists

In healthcare, trust is the entire funnel. A patient (or family member) decides within four minutes whether to book with you. This 38-point checklist is how our clinics and hospital groups earn that trust across web, review and AI-search.

Clinical Credibility

  • Each practitioner: qualifications, MCI/GMC/DHA/DOH number, tenure
  • Named medical reviewer on every content page (Article + Person)
  • NABH / JCI / CQC / HIPAA statement in footer, dated
  • Publications, talks, media appearances on doctor bios
  • Second-opinion policy public with turnaround SLA

Patient-First Website

  • Book Appointment CTA above the fold on every page
  • Emergency numbers + directions 1 tap away
  • Procedure pages: what it is, who it is for, risks, recovery, price band
  • Multi-language toggle where relevant

  • LCP <2.5s on 4G, measured monthly

FAQs

Common questions.

Is this checklist compliant with medical advertising laws?

Yes — it is written to comply with India MCI/ARCI, UAE MOH, UK ASA/CAP and US FDA guidelines. We still recommend a local legal review before publishing new claims.

Does this apply to single-doctor clinics?

Yes. Skip the multi-branch GBP section and everything else applies. Single-doctor clinics tend to over-invest in identity and under-invest in schema — this rebalances that.

How is this different from a healthtech growth playbook?

Trust comes before growth in healthcare. This checklist is the trust layer. Growth (SEM, referrals, corporate tie-ups) sits on top of it.

Can Brand Ratna run this for a hospital group?

Yes — we have deployed it for 6+ facility groups. Typical engagement: 12 weeks for audit + core fixes, then a 12-month retainer for AEO/GEO and content.
