SEO Case Study: Local Mental Health Practice in Pennsylvania
Project Overview:
The client is a small mental health practice in Pennsylvania that was facing the challenge of attracting clients due to limited online visibility. They recognized the need for a tailored local SEO strategy to improve their online presence and, as a result, increase their client base.
Our Approach:
Google Business Profile (GBP) Listing Optimization
We undertook a thorough optimization of the client's Google Business Profile (GBP). The GBP was enhanced by optimizing the product section, posts, images, categories, locations, and service sections. All these aspects were also aligned with the website for consistency.
On-page SEO
We implemented robust on-page SEO throughout the website. This included optimizing Title tags, Meta Descriptions, and content to enhance their visibility to search engines and potential clients.
Technical SEO Audit
We performed an in-depth onsite SEO audit to identify and address technical issues that could hinder website performance and visibility.
Content Strategy
The client created regular blog posts which were integrated with an extensive internal linking and content silo strategy to enhance visibility and user navigation.
Google Map Spam Fighting
We helped eliminate spam listings that were ranking higher than legitimate counseling practices, thus reducing competition.
Link Building
We pursued ongoing link building through HARO (Help A Reporter Out), a platform connecting journalists and bloggers with relevant expert sources.
NAP Acquisition and Cleanup
We worked on acquiring and cleaning up the client's NAP (Name, Address, and Phone number) across the web for consistent local citations.
Service Page Creation
We created an individual service page for each counseling service and specialty. This not only enhanced site structure but also allowed for better optimization of each page.
Lead Tracking
We implemented a tracking system to measure every call and lead form filled, providing valuable insights on our marketing performance and SEO efforts.
The Results:
Increased Leads
Comparing the period from January to June 2023 versus the same period in the previous year, we saw a substantial increase in leads. Phone call leads increased by 222%, and web form fill leads saw a 19% improvement. While the client initially received less than 10 leads per month, they now consistently receive over 50 leads per month.
Enhanced Organic Traffic and Keywords
The client's organic traffic saw a substantial increase, along with a rise in organic keyword rankings.
Improved Brand Awareness
The client was quoted in over 50 high-profile lifestyle and industry-specific media outlets, including Lifehacker, Yahoo, Mel Magazine, and Choosing Therapy, which helped enhance their brand visibility and reputation.
