    Get the facts before your free audit

    What does medical practice SEO in Canada include?

    We assess technical SEO, service pages, clinician profiles and the route from search to appointment. Your free audit shows where your clinic has work to do.

    How fast will my clinic see results?

    Our scripts and AI tools let us ship fixes and pages in hours or days. Search visibility and patient enquiries take time; timing depends on your market and your site's starting point.

    Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

    No. We don't guarantee rankings. The Glass Box Portal tracks rankings, leads, spend and changes so you can see what's happening.

    How do you handle healthcare content?

    We build patient-facing service pages and clinician profiles. Clinician review supports accuracy; your practice remains responsible for approving clinical content and meeting its professional obligations.

    Do you work with competing clinics?

    We take one major client per niche per region. We don't work for your direct competitors.

    How much does a medical practice SEO campaign cost?

    Your audit is free. Campaign pricing depends on your clinic's goals and the work needed. We'll discuss the scope before you commit.
