Challenge

Where they started

None of the 14 client-selected keywords ranked on Google's first page at the start. Existing service pages needed greater depth, clearer treatment-specific intent and stronger presentation of healthcare expertise and credibility, alongside technical optimization.

Approach

What we actually did

  1. 1Improved existing treatment and service pages rather than depending mainly on new URLs.
  2. 2Aligned each page with the intent behind treatment research, specialist searches and comparisons of aesthetic services.
  3. 3Expanded useful content and incorporated Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness principles.
  4. 4Strengthened technical SEO and monitored keyword rankings, search visibility and recorded organic acquisition separately.

Improving existing healthcare content

The strategy prioritized the clinic's existing website assets. Service and treatment pages were evaluated against the client-selected keywords and the information prospective patients were seeking, then enhanced for clarity, depth and topical relevance.

Intent differed between acne-treatment research, choosing a dermatologist and comparing aesthetic clinics. The campaign accounted for those differences instead of applying the same generic keyword approach to every page. E-E-A-T-informed improvements supported the credibility and usefulness of healthcare information.

SEMrush: campaign comparison

The campaign comparison reports 224.1% estimated traffic growth and improved authority and AI visibility indicators. The embedded SEMrush snapshot differs from the comparison: it displays Authority Score 36 and 1.5K referring domains, while the written campaign comparison reports 34 and approximately 3.1K. These are preserved as distinct supplied figures.
