Building Authority in a Compliance-Heavy Healthcare Market
How we helped a digital health platform achieve 427% organic growth while maintaining strict medical content compliance.
Navigating YMYL Complexity
The client, a rapidly scaling digital health platform, faced stagnant organic growth due to heavy YMYL ("Your Money or Your Life") scrutiny. Without clear E-E-A-T signals or authoritative attribution, their high-quality medical content remained buried in search results.
- No author attribution across 150+ medical guides
- Strict GDPR and HIPAA compliance constraints
- Stagnant Domain Authority at 32 for 18 months
