Health & Wellness SEO

A supplement brand came to us getting 800 organic visits a month. Now they get 14,000.

Before they found us, this brand was doing everything "right" on paper. Blog posts twice a month. Basic on-page SEO. Some keyword research. But their organic traffic was stuck at 800 visits per month because Google's health content standards — E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) — had effectively buried their content. Their articles had no cited sources. No expert authorship signals. No structured data. Their product pages were thin. And their site was technically slow because product images were massive and uncompressed.

Here's what we built. An E-E-A-T content strategy with expert-authored articles linking to published studies, clear author bios with health credentials, and FAQ schema on every product page. We optimized their category pages — "best magnesium supplements," "vitamin D3 with K2" — for the high-intent keywords that actually drive purchases. We fixed technical issues: compressed images, cleaned up duplicate URLs from product variants, added proper canonical tags, and improved Core Web Vitals across the board.

Six months later: 14,000 organic visits per month. Their top blog post ranks #3 for "magnesium glycinate benefits" — a 12,000-search-per-month keyword. And organic revenue went from $2,400/month to $18,700/month. The foundation we built continues to compound because Google trusts the site now.

The Health & Wellness eCommerce opportunity

Health and wellness SEO operates under Google's YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) guidelines, which means content about health topics is held to a much higher standard than other verticals. Google specifically evaluates Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) for health content. Supplement brands, functional food companies, and wellness product sites need expert-authored content, cited sources, clear medical disclaimers, and technical SEO foundations to rank. The upside is massive: "magnesium supplement" gets 165K searches per month, "best protein powder" gets 135K, and these searchers have strong purchase intent. But without E-E-A-T signals, your content won't rank regardless of how well-written it is.

What health & wellness brands get wrong with seo

  • Google classifies your content as YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) but your site has zero E-E-A-T signals — no expert authors, no cited sources, no credentials
  • Category pages for supplement types ("vitamin D supplements," "ashwagandha") have thin product listings with no educational content
  • Blog content gets no organic traction because it reads like generic health advice without authority signals
  • Product pages lack FAQ schema, review schema, and the structured data that earns rich snippets in health searches
  • Competitor brands with less compelling products outrank you because they invested in E-E-A-T-focused content 12 months ago

How we do seo for health & wellness brands

Health SEO is a different game than other verticals. Google is actively skeptical of health content — and rightfully so. So we build your SEO strategy around the signals that earn Google's trust in this space.

First, we establish E-E-A-T foundations. Expert author profiles with real credentials (RDs, PhDs, or certified practitioners) who either write or review your content. Published study citations in every educational piece. Clear medical disclaimers. Author schema markup that ties content to real people. Then we optimize your money pages — category pages for supplement types and product pages with benefit-focused descriptions, FAQ schema, and review markup. Content strategy focuses on ingredient education ("ashwagandha benefits and side effects"), comparison content ("magnesium glycinate vs. citrate"), and "best of" roundups where your product appears alongside competitors. We build topical authority cluster by cluster, starting with the categories that drive the most revenue.

What's included

  • E-E-A-T audit and foundation building (expert authors, citations, schema)
  • Category and product page optimization for supplement search terms
  • Ingredient education content strategy with pillar/cluster architecture
  • FAQ and review schema implementation for rich snippets
  • Technical SEO remediation (speed, duplicate content, Core Web Vitals)
  • Monthly organic traffic and revenue reporting with ranking tracker
