Healthcare
Health systems get recommended when the description is accurate and well sourced. Our independent analysts studied the agencies that have had the most success at healthcare GEO and AEO, presented below.
What to look for
| Buying criteria | Ask how the agency handles clinical review, patient-safety language, and accurate coverage of conditions, facilities, and clinicians. |
|---|---|
| Proof that matters | Ask for health-system or specialty clients and a dated result in appointment requests, referrals, or AI citations for service-line terms. |
| Common mismatch | A clinic mill that publishes city and specialty pages with unsourced treatment claims. |
| Typical engagement | Expect a retainer with legal and medical review built into the content calendar, and AI citation reports beside patient-acquisition numbers. |

How We Ranked These Agencies
- We started with the 34 GEO agencies in our directory that list healthcare among the industries they serve.
- To qualify, a firm had to sell GEO and show healthcare on its own site: a healthcare service page, work for a healthcare client, or healthcare listed among the industries it serves.
- Each firm received a fit score out of 100. Healthcare depth is worth 20 points, healthcare proof 20, GEO depth 25, and three GEO and AEO editorial scores from our agency reviews 35: lead generation (14), thought leadership (12), and entity and knowledge graph (9).
- Healthcare proof ranks healthcare case studies that name the client first, then healthcare case studies without client names, then healthcare clients shown by logo, name, or testimonial, then a healthcare service page alone.
- The seven highest fit scores are listed. Ties went to the firm with the higher average across all eight editorial scores.
