Every piece of SEO
your clinic needs.

SEO isn't one thing — it's a system. We run every component so your clinic dominates local search from every angle.

Local SEO & Google Maps

When a patient searches "physiotherapist near me," your clinic appears at the top of the map. We optimise your Google Business Profile, build local citations, and ensure your NAP signals are consistent across the web — so Google knows exactly who you are and where you are.

On-Page & Technical SEO

We audit and fix every technical issue holding your rankings back — page speed, schema markup, crawlability, internal linking, and page structure. Then we optimise every page with the keywords your patients actually use when they're looking for help.

Backlink Building

Google ranks clinics that other credible sites trust. We build a steady stream of high-quality backlinks from healthcare directories, local publications, and industry sites — the kind that move rankings and don't disappear overnight.

Content & Blog Strategy

We research and write monthly blog posts targeting the questions your patients are searching — "how long does physiotherapy take?", "what is rTMS therapy?" — turning your website into an authority that ranks for dozens of terms and earns patient trust before they even call.

Keyword Optimization

Ranking for the wrong keywords is as good as ranking for nothing. We identify the exact terms your ideal patients are searching — by service, by symptom, by location — and optimise every page to target the ones that actually convert into booked appointments.

AI SEO & Answer Engine Optimization

Patients are increasingly asking ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, and other AI tools where to go for care. We structure your content so AI search engines can find, understand, and recommend your clinic — getting you visibility in the answers patients see before they even click a link.

SEO questions,
answered honestly.

How long does SEO take to work?+
Honestly — 3 to 6 months before you see meaningful ranking improvements on your core keywords. You'll start to see early movement on long-tail and local terms within the first couple of months. We're upfront about this because the clinics who understand SEO timelines are the ones who stick with it long enough to dominate. Google Ads will drive leads immediately while SEO builds in the background.
Do you work with clinics that already have some SEO done?+
Yes — and it's often easier. If you've had previous SEO work done, we audit what exists, identify what's working, fix what isn't, and build on a stronger foundation. Sometimes prior SEO work has left technical issues or low-quality backlinks that we need to clean up first, but that's something we catch in the audit and flag before we start.
What keywords will you target?+
We do a thorough keyword research phase at the start of the engagement — mapping your services, your location, your competitors, and what your patients actually type when they're looking for help. Foundation tier starts with 5–10 high-intent keywords. Growth moves to 20–30. Dominance includes a full content strategy targeting dozens of terms across all your services. You'll see and approve the keyword strategy before anything goes live.
Is local SEO different from regular SEO?+
Yes, and for clinics, local SEO is the more important of the two. Local SEO focuses on appearing in searches that include a location — "physiotherapist Vancouver", "dentist near me" — and in the Google Maps pack. It requires optimising your Google Business Profile, building local citations, earning reviews, and getting backlinks from local sources. We do all of it as part of every SEO engagement.
How many blog posts do you write per month?+
It depends on your tier. Foundation includes 1 post per month, Growth includes 2, and Dominance includes 4 — plus new service or landing pages built monthly. Every piece of content is researched, written, and optimised by our team. You review and approve before it goes live. We focus on topics your patients are actually searching, not generic healthcare content.
Can I do SEO alongside Google Ads?+
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Google Ads gives you immediate leads while SEO builds over time. The two work together: Ads fill your calendar now, SEO reduces your cost per lead over the long term. Most of our Growth and Dominance clients run both simultaneously, and the data from Ads often informs which keywords we prioritise in SEO.
