The SEO Impact of Sponsoring an Open Patient Community

What Is an Open Patient Community?
On Inspire, each community is built around a specific condition or need. And they are are open, meaning they’re publicly viewable and indexed by search engines. When a patient searches for terms like “living with psoriatic arthritis” or “is fatigue a side effect of treatment X”, there’s a good chance they’ll land on one of our community discussions.
