What makes PR essential for healthcare brands?

Digital PR is a vital brand-building tactic for healthcare brands. It boosts visibility, credibility, and improves keyword rankings in a notoriously competitive sector. With 89% of healthcare customers starting their journey online, PR is essential for staying visible in a crowded market.

Google is on high alert for misinformation. At the end of 2022, Google updated a key area of their algorithm, which they call E.E.A.T (Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trust) This part of the algorithm is used to evaluate whether their search engines are providing the most helpful and relevant information to users.

For healthcare brands, this shift makes digital PR indispensable. By creating evidence-based, authoritative content that resonates with Google’s standards, JBH helps healthcare brands earn credibility, rank higher, and deliver the accurate information patients rely on.

How Our PR Service Drives Trust and Results for Healthcare Companies

Digital PR is a powerful digital marketing tool that can benefit a wide range of marketing metrics. These range from brand search traffic at the top of the funnel to enquiries and conversions at the bottom of the funnel.

It will be easier for your target audience to find you; they’ll trust you more, and they’ll be more likely to enquire about or buy your products.

In the case of the healthcare sector, trust needs to be at the top of the list in order to compete in what is an incredibly crowded vertical.

Increasing healthcare brand visibility with targeted PR strategies

Google now places “trust” at the heart of its considerations and wants to see evidence of first-hand or lived “experience” underpinning content on important topics. This is where digital PR can be incredibly useful.

  • Journalists from relevant publications (i.e. health editors) use your expertise and experience to add credibility to their editorial
  • Your content sits within the most relevant sections on large publications (i.e. health section)
  • The keywords we want to rank are used within the content
  • Links will point back to the relevant service page on the site – providing a vote of trust through the link.

Building Credibility and Trust with PR in Healthcares

As such, PR has become much more important for healthcare brands. Not just to shout about their new products and services, but as a way to build trust, showcase expertise and improve brand awareness.
