Health questions are the #1 search category on Google, yet YMYL requirements make rankings almost impossible without specialized medical SEO. We take pharmaceutical companies in Switzerland to the top of the search results, in line with regulations and with proven E-E-A-T authority.
Health content is subject to Google's strictest quality requirements, and to Swiss regulation. Without specialized know-how, lasting visibility is hard to achieve.
Healthcare professionals also research medical information on Google. Without a YMYL-compliant SEO strategy, your pharma content disappears deep in the search results.
Medical content needs expert validation. Without efficient processes, the costs of specialist content, clinical study summaries and congress reports spiral out of control.
Pharma web content has to meet the requirements of the Swiss Therapeutic Products Act (HMG) and Swissmedic. Violations mean formal warnings, fines and reputational damage.
Four core building blocks for lasting pharma visibility on Google and in AI search systems, compliant with regulations and medically sound.
We systematically build medical authority for your website. From author profiles with medical qualifications and peer-review processes to Schema.org MedicalWebPage markup, we strengthen every E-E-A-T factor in a targeted way.

YMYL stands for "Your Money or Your Life" and refers to content that can affect users' health, safety or financial stability. Google applies its strictest quality standards to YMYL content. Pharma and healthcare websites automatically fall into this category, which is why SEO here is especially demanding and medical expertise has to be demonstrated. Google punishes errors or thin content immediately with ranking losses.
The Swiss Therapeutic Products Act (HMG) and Swissmedic regulations set clear limits on how pharmaceutical companies may communicate online. Advertising prescription-only medicines to the general public is prohibited. Our SEO strategy takes these requirements into account from the start: we create only regulation-compliant content and use permitted forms of communication such as medical product information, disease awareness and patient information.
E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness. Google uses it to assess the quality and trustworthiness of content. For pharma and health content, E-E-A-T is especially critical: content has to be created or reviewed by medical professionals, authors must be clearly named with their qualifications, and the website has to be established as a trustworthy medical source. Without strong E-E-A-T signals, ranking for health topics is almost impossible.
Yes. With targeted Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), pharma companies can appear as a cited source in AI-generated answers in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI systems. This requires high-quality, fact-based content with clear E-E-A-T signals. We optimize your content so that it is cited as a trustworthy source for health questions, using our specialized LLMO strategy.
Because of YMYL requirements and regulatory complexity, pharma SEO is more demanding than standard SEO. Current starting prices are listed on the pricing page. The exact scope depends on the competition, your goals, the regulatory framework and the size of the content program. Every engagement starts with a free medical SEO audit to analyze your potential and the competitive situation.
Because of the strict YMYL requirements, pharma SEO typically takes 4–6 months before significant ranking improvements become visible. Building E-E-A-T signals and medical authority takes time: on health topics, Google does not trust new sources right away. Initial technical improvements and content optimization, however, often show positive effects after 6–8 weeks. In the long run, pharma SEO is one of the most sustainable channels for qualified traffic.
We analyze, free of charge, how visible your pharma company is on Google and in AI systems, and show you how to reach top rankings despite YMYL requirements.
