- Keyword and competitor research by treatment and location
- Treatment pages written to be cited, not just ranked, built into your website
- On-page SEO, technical setup and schema markup

## SEO that is built for how patients search now

Patients search by treatment and by town, and increasingly they ask an AI assistant instead of scrolling results. Many never click at all: they decide from what the search result or the AI answer shows them. So we build for both. A clear, fast site with real content about the treatments you offer, listings that all say the same thing, and pages structured so the answer a patient needs shows up right in the result.

## What we do

- **Build it right.** Keyword and competitor research by treatment and location, treatment pages written to be cited, on-page SEO, technical setup and schema, all done as part of your website.
- **Keep Google Business Profile active and accurate.** Your profile is the listing that matters most, and we manage it. We also syndicate your business information to the other local directories so it stays consistent everywhere; claiming those other listings is rarely necessary and is yours to do if you want.
- **Audit twice a year.** We check the site at launch and twice a year after that to make sure nothing technical is holding it back with Google or the AI tools.
- **Leave what is working alone.** Once the site is live we do not keep rewriting content. Pages earn their presence over time, and we only step in when something is holding back performance.
- **Report monthly.** What moved and what it produced, in plain language.

## Kept deliberately simple

We do not sell a package with twenty line items you will never use. We do the handful of things that move a practice's search presence and skip the rest. Ongoing content like blog posts is a separate option, not something we bundle in and charge for whether you need it or not.

## FAQ

### How long before SEO shows results?

Map-pack and Google Business Profile improvements often show within four to eight weeks. Competitive organic rankings take three to six months. We tell you up front which is which. Rankings are what most people watch; we focus on the quality interactions that lead to new patient requests.

### Do you lock us into a contract?

No. SEO is month to month. If it is not producing, you should be able to leave.

### Does SEO still matter now that people ask AI?

More than before. AI answers draw heavily from pages that already rank and are clearly written. What has worked for SEO in the past still works with AI; these tools are not trying to reinvent search. The practices that show up in AI answers are the ones with strong, well-structured sites and consistent listings.
