If you’re trying to boost your health and wellness brand’s content marketing strategy, you’re probably thinking about how to capture AI overviews. While you can’t always beat out high-ranking, high domain authority sites, you can still boost your chances of getting cited in AI search overviews by creating excellent, concise content. 


To get your wellness brand cited in AI overviews, you need to produce clear, concise content that answers questions quickly, avoid fluffy language, add bullet points or tables, format some headlines as questions, and cite credible sources. 


While these steps won’t guarantee your wellness brand will get cited in AI overviews, they certainly help. And if you produce enough well-written content across your topical authority, you’re bound to capture some AI overviews that bring in significant traffic. 


Let’s dive in:


Clear, concise content wins AI overviews

The days of paragraph after paragraph before getting to the point are pretty much gone in the SEO world. Content marketers used to write long, extensive pieces that served as a delivery tool for a bunch of keywords that otherwise wouldn’t naturally flow. 


Google caught on. 


Now, it favors
expertise, experience, authority, and trustworthiness. And part of that is producing clear content that cuts the fluff and gets straight to the point. 


Answer the primary question early 

Take this blog as an example. The main question is “how can health and wellness brands capture AI overviews?” I answered that in the second paragraph, less than 100 words into the piece. 


Make a practice out of clearly answering questions and summarizing content throughout the piece.


Cut the fluff

While it still exists in recipe blogs and some other content forms, fluffy writing is not the way to get your wellness brand more visibility. Your job is to position your brand as an authority in the space. Authorities don’t beat around the bush and avoid giving clear facts. They just tell it like it is. 


Answer the question early and don’t speak in riddles or draw out your content for the sake of a longer word count. 


Include bullet points, tables, and other reader-friendly features

Especially in the case of technical or science-heavy blogs, you’ll want to create content that is visually appealing and reader-friendly. Bullet points, tables, and other reader-friendly features can help. 


As an example, I have been a
freelance cannabis writer for close to a decade now. I have seen the tides change when it comes to blog structure. What used to be sentence-heavy has shifted to some emphasis on reader-friendly structures like bullet points. 


When I first started writing educational content for cannabis brands, I’d write it all out in the body of the text. I’d break up paragraphs for easy reading, but I still kept everything in paragraph format. 


But today, I take the opportunity to break down complex paragraphs into easy-to-read bullet points. Rather than write seven sentences about the role of the endocannabinoid system, I summarize the key points in a quick bullet point format. It’s easier for readers to digest and it still gets the main point across. 


Should I format headlines as questions for AI overviews?

See what I did there? Yes, you should try to include some headlines formatted as questions to capture AI overviews. Think about how your target audience is searching for relevant topics. Are they Googling “our favorite skincare brands” or are they searching “what are the best skincare brands?”


Don’t go out of your way to create headlines formatted as questions if it feels unnatural. Only incorporate questions when it reads well and genuinely serves a purpose. 


Cite credible sources and get expert quotes

Search engines prioritize credibility and trust these days, so it’s in your best interest to position your brand as a credible source. This starts with using research-backed facts with clear attribution. 


If you’re marketing a ketamine clinic, for example, you have to be careful about making medical claims or otherwise misguiding readers. It’s crucial that you use careful language and back up every claim with credible sources. Google will take note that you’re not just making stuff up or writing for the sole purpose of selling your product–you’re actually providing value to the reader by presenting real research and sources. 


When possible, expert quotes can go a long way, too.


Hire a freelance writer for your wellness brand

Look for a freelance wellness writer with real experience and expertise who can juggle the intricacies of highly regulated spaces with clear, concise content. In a highly regulated space like health and wellness, it’s important to invest in a writer who understands the ins and outs of compliant language and research-driven content.

Ketamine clinics are on the rise as more people become attuned to the potential benefits the medication can provide. Of course, ketamine has many uses – some legal and some not legal – that need to be clearly conveyed. In a licensed clinical setting, ketamine is a groundbreaking medication that has the potential to help people with treatment-resistant mental and physical conditions. Ketamine clinic marketing is heavily restricted because of the various factors and potential for abuse that come with the medication, though. Let’s dive into the basics of ketamine clinic marketing so you can stay compliant. A quick analogy: ketamine vs. cannabis marketing I’ve been a freelance cannabis writer for the last ~8 years. During that time, I’ve learned the ins and outs of marketing for highly regulated industries. And there’s a lot to keep track of. But if you understand a few key pillars, you can protect your business while still converting curious potential customers into loyal, returning ones. One of the biggest challenges for cannabis marketing is compliance with social media platform regulations and state advertising restrictions. The same goes for ketamine clinic marketing, too. In both industries, you have to be extremely careful about what you say and how you convey it. In cannabis marketing, you generally can’t make any medical claims or statements that could be taken as medical advice. Instead, you can highlight research and anecdotal evidence that points to a potential for certain effects. Ketamine marketing faces the off-label challenge. Even though it’s FDA approved as an anesthetic, ketamine clinics aren’t using the drug that way. They’re using it for its off-label effects: depression, PTSD, anxiety, and pain. But those uses are not approved by the FDA, and it’s crucial that ketamine clinic marketing uses careful language to not get in legal trouble. Ketamine clinic marketing FAQS: Whether you’re just launching your clinic or you’ve decided to step up your existing marketing efforts, here are some common questions you may be wondering: What’s the best way to market a ketamine clinic? Those who end up using ketamine clinics do so after heavy research and thought. It’s not a quick decision. The best way to market a ketamine clinic is with fact-based information that answers common questions and guides readers to their own informed decisions. Educational content is key. This can be in the form of blogs, articles, or 101 pages that dive into different topics. How do I pick SEO keywords for my ketamine clinic? Professional SEO tools can help you narrow your search and target your audience more effectively. But if you’re just getting started and looking for ketamine clinic SEO keywords, think like your potential clientele. What would they search for? Here are some examples to start with: “SSRIs no longer working” “Alternative depression treatment” “Depression treatments not helping” Can ketamine clinics post on social media? Yes, but with extreme caution and care. Most platforms do not allow any advertising of drugs, so you have to be cautious about the wording and imagery used. Successful social media strategies for ketamine clinics involve guiding the user off platform and back to your website where you can point them to educational content you’ve posted. Does my ketamine clinic need a blog? Posting educational content on a blog can do wonders for your ketamine clinic marketing. Because you own the website and content, you don’t have to worry about platforms like Meta taking down your content or banning your account. How do I get ketamine clinic customers? You have to find your potential customers where they’re looking. That’s often Google. Most people who end up discovering the potential therapeutic benefits of ketamine therapy find out through word of mouth or online research. By answering common questions and providing valuable information on your blog and website, you can build trust and credibility with potential customers. Should I hire a ketamine clinic writer? Even if you’re a great writer, if you don’t have deep SEO knowledge and understanding of marketing in complex, highly regulated industries, you’ll likely struggle with your ketamine marketing strategy. Your content needs to be optimized for search engines and target keywords that are relevant to your target audience but not too saturated to ever rank for. Ketamine clinic writers can take this part of the job off your plate and allow you to focus on your core business functions. Just be sure to find a health and wellness writer or ketamine writer who knows the ins and outs of compliance, state-by-state regulations, and SEO. Oh hey, that sounds like me! I’ve been writing for complex and highly regulated industries for nearly a decade now. I know how to convert casual readers into loyal customers. Let’s talk today!
