Clinic reception area representing a healthcare local SEO case study

Healthcare

Multi-location clinic group (name withheld)

A local SEO and appointment-generation engagement for a multi-location clinic group, focused on Google Business Profile, location pages and patient trust.

Client identity and performance figures are withheld until written approval is received.

Project overview

A clinic group with several branches needed each location to be findable for its own neighbourhood searches rather than competing with itself. Client identity and performance figures are withheld pending approval.

Client objective

Increase appointment enquiries from local search for each branch, without cannibalising the other branches' visibility.

The challenge

One generic 'contact us' page served every branch, Google Business Profiles were incomplete or duplicated, and reviews were unmanaged.

Initial situation

  • •Duplicate and unverified Google Business Profile listings
  • •No branch-specific pages or NAP consistency
  • •Appointment enquiries arriving by phone with no tracking
  • •Inconsistent clinic hours across directories

Research

  • Local pack visibility audit for every branch neighbourhood
  • Citation and NAP consistency audit across major Indian directories
  • Patient question mining from search queries and call recordings
  • Competitor local pack and review-velocity benchmarking

Marketing strategy

  • One genuinely useful page per branch — services, doctors, timings, directions, parking
  • Google Business Profile as a first-class channel, not a one-time setup
  • Content answering real patient questions rather than generic health filler
  • Call and form tracking so local SEO can be judged on enquiries, not rankings

Channel strategy

Creative strategy

Clinical photography and doctor profiles used to build recognisable trust signals, kept strictly factual and compliant with healthcare advertising norms.

SEO strategy

Branch-level location pages, LocalBusiness schema, internal linking from service and condition content, citation cleanup and ongoing Google Business Profile management.

Google Ads strategy

Radius-targeted search campaigns per branch with location extensions and call-only campaigns during clinic hours.

Meta Ads strategy

Limited use — awareness campaigns for new departments only, kept separate from performance measurement.

Website strategy

Branch pages with structured data, faster mobile load, and appointment CTAs that work equally well for call-first patients.

Lead generation strategy

Appointment forms and tracked phone numbers per branch, so demand can be attributed to the correct location.

Results

  • Enquiries measurable per branch instead of in aggregate
  • Published performance figures pending client approval
