Before buying a product online or from a retail store, most customers browse the Web for information on its features and benefits as well as feedback and comparisons. Now, this also applies to healthcare services, with people searching online even on mobile devices to get information on conditions, treatments and to find a physician. With all the competition out there, healthcare specialists need to be visible on the net. Search engine optimization (SEO) makes this possible. SEO helps them reach out to their target market.
