Our SEO case studies
Our IVF SEO services for fertility clinics
Local SEO, the Google Business Profile shown in Google Maps and the local pack, technical SEO and backlinks are covered on the page of our healthcare SEO agency. As an SEO agency in Montreal, we take on fertility clinics across Canada and the United States. Our IVF SEO services add what SEO for fertility clinics needs on top of that: pages built for a long, emotional patient journey.
The steps of each fertility treatment
We give each fertility treatment you offer its own page: in vitro fertilization (IVF), ICSI, IUI, egg freezing, donor programs or preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). Each page walks through the steps (fertility testing, ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo transfer), then how to book a first consultation. A search such as “IVF Toronto” or “egg freezing Chicago” can then land on the right treatment page instead of the home page.
Coverage and treatment costs explained
We write a coverage page that separates what a public program or an insurer covers from the treatment costs patients pay themselves. In Quebec, for example, the Medically Assisted Reproduction Program covers a single IVF cycle for life, according to Québec.ca. Eligible patients must, among other conditions, be insured by the public health insurance plan (RAMQ) and be 18 or over when treatment begins. Some costs, such as purchasing eggs from banks, can remain the patient’s responsibility, and your physician reviews every line of the coverage page before it goes live.
Success rates shown in context
We publish only your clinic’s own success rates, with the definition of each rate (per IVF cycle started or per embryo transfer) and the breakdown by age. Your provincial or state regulator sets the advertising rules: in Quebec, section 88 of the Code of ethics of physicians prohibits advertising that is false, misleading or incomplete, including about the effectiveness of services. Your physician approves how the success rates are presented and remains responsible for the content published.
Physician and care team pages
We build a physician page for each doctor, with their name and the title your regulator allows; in Quebec, section 92 of the same code requires a specialist’s title matching a recognized medical specialty in any advertising. The rest of the team (nursing, embryology lab, counseling, front desk) gets its place too, with its role in the patient journey. These provider pages connect each fertility treatment to the clinicians who perform it.
Donor programs and surrogacy pages
We write egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy pages with the law in mind. In Canada, the Assisted Human Reproduction Act prohibits advertising the purchase of sperm or eggs from a donor (s. 7) and advertising payment to a surrogate (s. 6). These donor program pages explain how egg donation works and the steps toward building a family, then your medical team approves the content; outside Canada, your legal counsel confirms the rules that apply.

Everything about fertility clinic SEO
How patients search for fertility care
Questions asked before the first call
The patient journey often starts with private searches, typed long before looking for a fertility clinic: “fertility testing,” “IVF at 40,” “male infertility” or “PCOS and fertility.” We place measured content on these queries, reviewed by a physician at your clinic who can sign it, then linked to the matching treatment page. The same fertility questions asked in ChatGPT or Perplexity are the work of our GEO agency.
Comparing fertility clinics
Then comes the clinic comparison: fertility clinic plus city, private clinic or hospital, wait times, coverage and success rates. We answer these queries with factual pages, without comparative claims about other fertility clinics, which Quebec’s code of ethics restricts when they disparage another physician. Prospective patients read reviews as well: we monitor your online reputation, with replies that respect patient privacy.
After a first IVF cycle
Some IVF patients come back after a first IVF cycle, for a frozen embryo transfer or a second child. We prepare pages for them on embryo storage and on later IVF cycles.
The SEO competition for fertility clinics
Your fertility clinic shares Google search results with hospital IVF programs, government pages and fertility networks with many locations. In Quebec, for example, Québec.ca states that clinics require a license to provide assisted reproduction services and lists insured IVF at private clinics and at two university hospital centers, the McGill University Health Centre and CHU Sainte-Justine. We first target the precise fertility queries, by treatment and by city, that focused treatment pages can compete for, with editorial backlinks and guest posts and no questionable practices.
Our fertility clinic SEO method
Map your patients’ journey
We list the fertility treatments you offer, the questions patients ask at each step and the fertility clinics that already rank in your cities. Keyword research then sizes the search volume and competition of each query, from fertility testing to IVF.
Choose the treatments to promote
We start with the treatments that matter most to the fertility clinic, such as self-pay IVF or fertility preservation, rather than search volume alone. Priorities are reviewed every month, through a monthly report or a meeting, as you prefer.
Put physician-approved treatment pages online
Our team executes directly on your website (treatment pages, title tags, internal linking, structured data) once your physician has reviewed the content and you have approved it in Google Docs. Google Ads management, included in the mandate with no management fee, can bring in consultation requests while organic rankings build.
Track first consultation requests
We track rankings and organic traffic, but above all the conversions that matter: first consultation requests for each treatment. The mandate runs month to month with 30 days’ notice, and everything we build stays yours.
How much does fertility clinic SEO cost?
Fertility care is a competitive, regulated field, so a fertility clinic SEO mandate typically starts at $2,000 to $3,000 per month. The price depends on the scope of the work and the competition, not a fixed price grid; larger sites move to a custom mandate. Google Ads management is included with no management fee.

What is SEO for fertility clinics?
SEO for fertility clinics, also called fertility clinic SEO, is the branch of medical SEO that gives a clinic visibility when someone searches for a fertility treatment, reproductive care or an IVF clinic near them. It relies on treatment pages reviewed by physicians and on a Google Business Profile for each location. It stands apart through a long, emotional patient journey and through the rules that govern physician advertising and assisted reproduction.
Fertility clinic SEO FAQ
Yes, if the clinic publishes its own results with their context. We show the definition of each success rate, the period covered and the breakdown by age, without comparisons with other fertility clinics. Your regulator’s rules apply; in Quebec, the Code of ethics of physicians prohibits advertising that is false, misleading or incomplete about the effectiveness of services, and section 83 prohibits guaranteeing that a treatment will work. Your physician reviews the success rates page before it goes live.
Yes, because prospective patients often ask before choosing a fertility clinic. The coverage page summarizes the public program or insurance rules that apply to your patients, separates what is covered from what they pay and links to the official source. Because coverage rules can change, we date the page and review it whenever the program is updated. Your team then confirms the costs specific to your fertility clinic.
Yes, with the pricing details your regulator may require. In Quebec, section 93.2 of the Code of ethics of physicians says that advertising a price must also state, where applicable, its validity period, any restrictions, any additional services or fees not included and any fees tied to the payment method. For an IVF cycle, we therefore spell out what the price covers, such as embryo storage, and what is extra.
It depends on where you practice. In Canada, section 7 of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act prohibits purchasing, offering to purchase or advertising the purchase of sperm or eggs from a donor or a person acting on a donor’s behalf, so the donor program page explains the donor’s role, the steps and the screening your fertility clinic provides, without offering payment. Elsewhere, your legal counsel confirms the rules. Your medical team approves every sentence before publication.
A calm, precise tone that respects patients who may have been through several IVF cycles. We avoid urgency, words like “miracle” and any promise of pregnancy; in Quebec, section 93.3 of the Code of ethics of physicians prohibits advertising intended for vulnerable persons, for example because of their condition. Pages focus on the steps and the support your team offers rather than on testimonials, which section 88.1 restricts, to earn patients’ trust.
Not always. Hospital IVF program pages often answer broad questions about assisted reproduction. A private IVF clinic can target more precise queries, such as a treatment plus a city or self-pay IVF. We build the keyword list from your real fertility treatments and the cities your patients come from, then connect each query to the page that answers it.
With a fertility preservation page of its own if the clinic offers it, because these patients search differently from couples and single women in an IVF journey. A patient starting cancer treatment may be searching under time pressure: the page explains how to get a first consultation. A physician at the clinic reviews it and can sign it, then the page links to the egg freezing or sperm freezing page. The page stays general information, separate from medical advice.
Only what your team needs to get back to the patient: their contact details and the fertility treatment they are interested in. Medical history and other health information are collected during the consultation, by the medical team, rather than through a web form. A short form limits the sensitive data that passes through the website and can make the first step easier for a prospective patient who is still unsure.
