SEO by industry

The same tactics do not work in every industry

A dental practice competes in a map pack. A SaaS company competes on comparison pages. An accounting firm competes against a filing deadline. Each playbook below covers how that vertical actually searches, what to publish in what order, whether local SEO decides the outcome, and the accuracy bar the content has to clear before it goes live.

A note on YMYL industries

Healthcare, dentistry, dermatology, chiropractic, legal and financial content is classed as Your Money or Your Life. Search engines hold it to a higher accuracy and expertise bar, and readers can be harmed by mistakes. Auto SEO can draft, structure, optimise and schedule that content — it cannot supply the qualified review those fields require, and no tool honestly can. Every playbook above states exactly where a human professional has to sign off.
