E-E-A-T for healthcare practitioners: therapists, dentists, chiropractors and clinicians on Wix

Healthcare practitioners, therapists, dentists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and other clinicians, face the highest E-E-A-T bar of any YMYL category. Google wants to ensure that health information comes from qualified professionals and that patients can verify those qualifications. This lesson provides a comprehensive guide to building healthcare E-E-A-T on your Wix site, with specific implementation steps for the most common healthcare professions using the platform.

The Healthcare E-E-A-T Checklist

Google quality raters evaluating healthcare sites look for specific evidence. Every item on this checklist should be present and verifiable on your Wix site.

• Full name and title of every practitioner (e.g., Dr. Sarah Thompson, BSc (Hons), MSc, MCSP)
• Professional registration number and regulatory body (e.g., HCPC registered: PH12345)
• Direct link to your profile on the regulatory body website where users can verify your registration
• Educational qualifications with institution names and graduation years
• Specialist training and certifications with issuing bodies
• Years of clinical experience with specific areas of practice
• Professional memberships (e.g., Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)
• Professional headshot showing the practitioner in a clinical setting
• Published work: research papers, journal articles, conference presentations, or media appearances
• Continuing Professional Development (CPD) evidence: recent courses, workshops, or training

Building the Healthcare About Page on Wix

Your About page is the most critical E-E-A-T page for healthcare practitioners. It must function as both a patient-facing introduction and a credential verification page for Google quality raters.

Creating an E-E-A-T-optimised healthcare About page on Wix

• H1: Your full name and professional title (e.g., "Dr Sarah Thompson - Chartered Physiotherapist in Manchester")
• Opening paragraph: clinical experience summary, primary specialisations, and patient-facing value proposition
• Qualifications section: list every qualification with full title, institution, and year (use a formatted list, not a paragraph)
• Registration section: regulatory body name, registration number, and a direct hyperlink to your verification page on the regulatory body website
• Professional memberships section: logos and names of professional bodies with your membership status
• Experience section: years of practice, types of patients treated, clinical settings worked in
• Specialisations section: specific conditions or treatments you specialise in with detailed descriptions
• Published work section: links to any publications, research, media appearances, or conference presentations
• CPD section: recent training and professional development activities
• Professional headshot: high-quality photo in clinical attire, not a casual selfie
• Contact section: clear contact details for the practice with booking options

Healthcare Content Guidelines for YMYL Compliance

Healthcare content on your Wix site must follow strict guidelines to satisfy Google YMYL quality standards.

• Never make diagnostic claims: use language like "may help with" or "commonly used for" rather than "cures" or "treats"
• Always recommend professional consultation: include a clear disclaimer advising readers to consult a qualified professional
• Reference established guidelines: cite NHS, NICE, WHO, or relevant professional body guidelines where applicable
• Date your content: include "Last reviewed: [date]" on every clinical content page
• Author attribution: every clinical content page must show who wrote it and their qualifications
• Avoid anecdotal evidence as primary support: personal stories can supplement but should not replace evidence-based information
• Disclose limitations: be transparent about the limitations of treatments or advice
• Keep content current: review and update clinical content at least annually
