3. SERVICES
Search Engine Optimisation
Our team offers professional Search Engine
Optimisation as part of our website development
services. It is becoming increasingly important to be
found online and to stand out from one’s competitors.
What is Search Engine Optimisation?
Having a well-developed website is a helpful tool with
which to connect with one’s client base, and to
market services and products to new and existing
customers. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is an
essential element for every website. It allows search
engines to effectively index content and ensures that
your website is easy to find online. Proper Search
Engine Optimisation helps to effectively promote
your brand online.
Why is SEO important?
A strong online presence is an essential part of
increasing your client base through online searches.
We help to create and manage online brands, and are
happy to assist with the development of this online
presence. Our SEO strategies mean that patients are
able to search for specialists according to a chosen
area, and we are proud of our results in increasing
specialists’ client bases.
Our team works with a broad range of medical
specialists to create and manage online brands.
This allows specialists the opportunity to promote
their practices and develop their social presence.
All of our websites are developed specifically with
Search Engine Optimisation in mind – this means that
they are much more likely to found in online
searches. A wide range of current and potential
patients are able to find your practice when they
search online for specialists in their area. This is very
helpful in finding new patients on a regular basis.
Whether you manage your own practice, or are in
charge of marketing a medical practice, hospital or
other institution, our team is able to create,
develop and grow the ideal online presence for
your unique brand.
Search Engine Optimisation Research
Our team conducts search engine research
specifically aimed at optimising websites for a broad
range of medical specialists in South Africa. We make
sure that your online presence reaches its full
potential so that your business can be easily found
with search engine results.
What is search engine research?
Our search engine research is done through a four
step process that provide you with research
necessary to assist with your content.
The keyword research process works in the
following way:
1. We ask the client for a detailed list of their services
or procedures.
2. We conduct key phrase research from a tool
provided to us from Google. This provides us with
a list of phrases that were commonly searched for
about those services in the last 12 months.
3. The client then checks this list to make sure the
key phrases are correct.
4. The key phrases are then written into the content
of the website.
This will enable us to position your site on Google in
order for site to be easily found. This is key with the
ranking of your website and making your site search
engine friendly.
Why is it important?
As more and more people use the Internet to search
for products and services, it has become increasingly
important for medical specialists to have an online
presence. If your potential patients are searching for
particular phrases, you want to ensure that they are
in your content so that they can find your website via
those phrases.
The key phrases will also be inserted within the Meta
tags of the code to ensure that the SEO follows
throughout each page on your website.
It is essential that your website provides the best
possible service to your patients, and this includes
having all the information they need readily available
to them. A well designed website will ensure that they
are able to find what they need, and very importantly,
that they are able to contact you with ease.
While medical websites need to look good, they also
need to provide all the necessary information to
potential and current patients in an accessible way.

and include information about your particular
services. Search Engine Optimisation is crucial for
your marketing success, and this begins with
well-written copy.

offers professional web hosting to a range of medical
specialists around the country. Our hosting services

Website Reporting
From a marketing point of view, websites are
pointless if you don’t know what is happening on
them, how they are performing and whether or not
you are actually getting business from the website.
That’s why at SA Medical Specialists, we supply our
clients with the insight and knowledge to see and
understand what’s happening on their websites and
where their business is coming from.
What is website reporting?
We track our websites via Google Analytics, which is a
service that allows us to track and report on your
website’s traffic.
How does it work?
Once your website is built we add tracking to the site
so that we can monitor its activity. This is key for you
to see how many people are coming to your website
and which pages they are visiting. We can also
monitor if anything happens to your website, and if
any issues occur that we can rectify them.
Why is website reporting so important?
It is essential that your practice is visible online, so
that current and potential patients can easily access
your products, services, and information.
We provide our clients with both desktop and
mobile user reports that provide the following
information:
• Tracks users
• Tracks phrases being used
• Tracks the countries users are coming from
• Tracks which pages are being visited
Website reporting services will allow you to constantly
monitor your progress and make any necessary
improvements.
How often should website reporting be conducted?
Once a month our clients receive two types of reports
(desktop and mobile devices) that we generate from
Google. This provides a breakdown of what has
happened to the website during the month.

5. Once a year we review all our websites to see if the
functionality, SEO and security are up to date. If we
think anything needs to be improved, we send
through an email to inform the client of our
recommendations.
This will allow you to take the guess work out of your
website when it comes to making important decisions
about your website.

range of medical specialists throughout the country.
