Google Recommends You Specify If A Doctor Reviewed Your Medical Content

Doctor

Google’s John Mueller was asked how should a web site document that its medical and health content was reviewed by a doctor or expert on the topic. John said you can use text, link to the doctor’s profile and add other elements to the page to communicate this.

We know that Google wants you to have either doctors write or review your medical or health content because Google tries to recognize that the person writing the content knows what they are talking about.

John answered this question at the 6:38 mark into the video:

John said:

In short, if a doctor wrote or reviewed the content – you should say so on the page. You can say which doctor reviewed it, link to the doctor’s information and be specific about what the doctor wrote, reviewed and did not review.
