01

The starting point

Clinics usually come to us with patchy map-pack visibility, thin service pages that don't match how patients search, inconsistent listings across directories and no reliable way to tell which calls came from Google.

Our strategy

  • Optimize each location's Google Business Profile: categories, services, photos and posts
  • Build one strong page per treatment and per location, matched to search intent
  • Clean up citations so name, address and phone match everywhere
  • Set up a steady, compliant review request process
03

  • Local SEO audit and keyword map
  • Google Business Profile optimization per location
  • Service and location pages with LocalBusiness schema
  • Citation clean-up and new listings
