Project Snapshot
Numbers That Speak for Themselves
Achieved in just 3 months of strategic SEO execution.
A Strong Practice, Invisible Online
A well-established dental practice serving patients across a competitive U.S. metro area. Despite offering a full suite of dental services, the practice was struggling to attract new patients through organic search.
Minimal Google visibility, inconsistent local listings, slow page speeds, and virtually no backlink profile were keeping them off the first page — costing new patients every single day.
Challenges Identified
- Ranking on page 3–5 for core dental keywords
- Google Business Profile incomplete and unoptimised
- Site speed scoring below 40/100 on mobile (PageSpeed Insights)
- No structured data or schema markup implemented
- Zero high-authority backlinks pointing to the domain
- Thin, duplicate content across service pages
A Four-Pillar SEO Blueprint
Each pillar was executed in sequence — technical foundations first, then content, authority, and local signals — to create compounding results.
Site Speed & Structured Data
Resolved Core Web Vitals failures, improved mobile PageSpeed score from below 40 to above 80, and implemented full schema markup for local business, services, and reviews.
Keyword-Rich Service Pages
Rewrote meta titles, descriptions, and service page content optimised to capture high-intent local patient traffic — targeting both broad and hyper-local dental queries.
Compounding Organic Growth
Audience-relevant blog content combined with targeted SEO — creating topical authority and driving higher engagement signals that boosted rankings site-wide.
Authority & Domain Strength
Secured quality backlinks from relevant health and local publications — growing referring domains from 37 to 449 and domain authority score from 7 to 23.
