Challenge

  • Minimal online visibility despite excellent offline reputation

  • Implemented structured data (MedicalBusiness schema, FAQs, LocalBusiness)

  • Published educational blog content answering high-volume medical queries
  • Repurposed clinical PDFs into indexable HTML pages
  • Introduced trust signals: doctor profiles, accreditations, patient testimonials
