The aim was also to establish credibility within the niche, attract more patients, and ensure sustainable growth by addressing key SEO factors and building trust with the target audience.

On-Page SEO Tasks

Comprehensive keyword research was carried out to identify high-converting and location-specific terms, which were then assigned to the relevant service pages.

A clear internal linking structure was implemented to improve site navigation and distribute link equity effectively. Descriptive alt text was added to all images to enhance accessibility and improve image search rankings. Competitors’ SEO strategies were also analyzed to uncover opportunities for improvement and differentiation.
