Why Healthcare SEO in India Is Broken — And How We're Fixing It
The average hospital website in India loads in 8+ seconds, has zero structured data, and ranks for exactly zero keywords. This is not a content problem — it's a systemic failure of strategy, execution, and understanding of how modern search engines evaluate medical content.
The Core Problems
- No E-E-A-T signals — Google cannot verify author expertise.
- No schema markup — medical entities are invisible to search crawlers.
- Generic content that does not match patient search intent.
- Slow, bloated CMS platforms with no Core Web Vitals optimisation.
What We Do Differently
Our clients — iMedi.health and ABCD.health — are built on Next.js with full schema implementation, hyper-local landing pages, and a content architecture designed by ONE Hand Labs around real patient search behaviour. The results speak for themselves.
The Playbook
- Technical Foundation — Next.js, sub-2s LCP, full Core Web Vitals compliance.
- Schema Architecture — MedicalOrganisation, Physician, MedicalCondition, FAQPage.
- Content Strategy — 200+ location and condition-specific pages, each targeting distinct intent.
- Backlink Building — Cross-linking between imedi.health and abcd.health creates topical authority clusters.
