Why should website UX be at the top of your list of priorities?
Google wants good user experiences and so do your patients. Google’s requirements and your patients’ needs are closely aligned, too. Both want to find information quickly, and part and parcel of that is: a) getting your site architecture right and b) making sure that your site includes robust, in-depth content that answers patient questions directly.
Google mantra for content:
E: expertise
A: authoritativeness
T: trustworthiness
What does E-A-T mean?
Generating original, up-to-date, and highly relevant content

Remember that your homepage is your first impression
All messaging and design elements should align with the impression you want to make on patients. Clearly communicate your unique value proposition and provide UX components that funnel your visitors towards conversion
Create buyer personas and use these to map patient journeys
Unfortunately, there is no way to create a completely customized digital experience for every visitor. What you can do is use data to identify high-volume journeys and optimize your site to ensure they meet patients’ complete needs.
Leverage SEO metrics on your landing pages.
Google offers great resources for identifying which pages and keywords are driving the most organic traffic to your site. Use this data to optimize the target URL to cater to the people using that search language, zero in on the intent behind a search, and answer that need with your landing page.
