When patients look for health information online, they often type questions like “Is teeth whitening safe?” or “How often should I get a skin check?” Adding FAQ content to your medical website answers these questions directly — while also improving your search rankings and patient engagement.

At Bottrell Media, we help healthcare providers turn patient questions into powerful SEO tools.


Why FAQs Matter for Healthcare Websites

Patients trust providers who communicate clearly. Well-written FAQs can:

  • Help your website rank for question-based searches

  • Keep visitors on your site longer by answering their concerns directly

  • Build trust by showing expertise and transparency

  • Support voice search, which often uses natural language questions

FAQs help bridge the gap between what patients ask and what your website offers.


How FAQs Improve SEO

1. Capture long-tail keywords
Patients often search detailed phrases like “How long does Invisalign take?”
By including these in your FAQs, your site becomes more relevant to specific searches.

2. Enable rich results
Adding FAQ schema can make your answers appear directly in Google results, boosting visibility.

3. Reduce bounce rates
Visitors who find answers on your site are more likely to stay, explore services, or book appointments.

4. Support content depth
FAQs help fill out your service pages, making them more useful and comprehensive.


What Makes a Good Patient FAQ?

  • Uses natural, conversational language

  • Answers questions clearly and concisely

  • Reflects real patient enquiries your team receives

  • Includes relevant keywords without overstuffing

  • Links to related services or booking pages when helpful

The goal is to educate, reassure and guide visitors to take the next step.


Where to Add FAQs on Your Website

  • Service pages (e.g., “Teeth Whitening FAQs”)

  • Blog posts on popular topics
