The Challenge

ProSEOmind partnered with a local healthcare clinic struggling to attract patients in a crowded and competitive market. Despite offering exceptional services, the clinic faced several key challenges:

  • Low Online Visibility: The clinic’s website was not ranking for critical medical and healthcare-related searches.
  • Outdated Website: A lack of user-friendly design and poor mobile compatibility discouraged potential patients.
  • Minimal Engagement: Few visitors were completing appointment bookings or interacting with the clinic’s content.
  • Strong Competition: Larger clinics and healthcare networks dominated the local search results.

Result: The clinic ranked in the top 3 local search results for terms like “GP near me” and “family doctor London.”

2. Keyword Research and Content Optimization

  • Targeted Keywords: Identified valuable keywords such as “private GP services,” “same-day doctor appointments,” and “urgent care near me.”
