Local SEO (search engine optimisation) for private practice

The objective of SEO is for your website to be found in search engines when a user is looking for something you offer. Local SEO aims to get you found by users who are local to your business and are searching for services they intent to research or purchase locally.

Local Activator SEO

Local Activator SEO package is unique to PracticePulse.

Sometimes all your website needs is a little adjustment to kickstart all the difference. Our Local Activator SEO package has been designed to be a slimmed-down, once-off alignment and tune-up SEO campaign, where we focus on the essentials and low hanging fruit to get the most benefit as quickly as possible.

It’s Pareto’s 80/20 principle in action.

Local Activator SEO covers all the things that would typically be undertaken at the start of a full-fledged SEO campaign. So if you have strong competition and considering professional SEO services anyway, why not give Local Activator SEO a go? It won’t be money wasted! It could be all that you needed.

What you get with Local Activator SEO:

  •  Google My Business optimisation
  •  Google Maps and Apple Maps optimisation
  •  Facebook Page, YouTube channel, Twitter profile creation & optimisation
  •  Localised citations such as Yelp, Bing, TrueLocal, etc.
  •  Online reputation boost
  •  Fundamental on-page SEO and content audit
  • Detailed report covering technical website audit, competitor analysis, keyword analysis, keyword rankings, online reviews and social media coverage

Expectations:

  •  Consolidated, consistent, professional and complete social media profiles
  •  Easier management of these profiles in the future
  •  Correctly listed in maps (Google, Apple, Bing)
  •  Excellent positioning for future campaigns (SEO, PPC etc.)

Pro SEO

You already know this: Having your website listed at the top of search results is crucial. However, you run a local business, so Local SEO is what you really want. If someone finds you at top position in Google, but they live across the state, it’s unlikely to result in an appointment.

With a properly planned and executed SEO campaign, your business would show up atop search results for relevant search terms. But that’s not all. Your SEO consultant can help you promote specific services and find you clients who didn’t even think to search for you specifically.

What you get with Pro SEO:

  • Be found for services you offer by your target demographics
  • More visitors to your website
  • More referrals and appointments
  • Reduced online marketing costs
  • Drive up ROI on your website

Frequently asked questions

I already have my Facebook, YouTube etc. set up. Do I still need Local Activator SEO?

We check your existing set up in detail, to ensure they are correctly configured and optimised. We’ll bring a level of uniformity across all your existing channels. But this is only a small portion of what Local Activator SEO offers.

Our clinic doesn’t appear in Apple Maps. Will this service help?

Yes. Correct creation and optimisation of your presence in Google and Apple Maps is included.

How long will it take?

You can run an SEO campaign as long as you like. However, it can take weeks or months of iteration to see tangible results. It depends on your competition. We usually recommend at least 3 months.

Once you start climbing up the search results page, you may want to continue with a lighter campaign to help solidify your position. Again, this depends on factors such as your competition and how aggressive they are with their SEO campaign.

Why do I even need SEO? I bought a website and I would expect it to be found!

True, and it will be found – if you use any keywords that are specific enough (such as your business name). But when a user is searching for general services or health conditions, there are many competitors who will show up in search results. Just like opening your practice is no guarantee that clients will flock to you; some will go to your competition. So you need to invest into marketing better than your competition.

Remember that there is only one first page for any given search results; and that first page has only one top position. And your competition also wants it!

What guarantees do you provide?

SEO can’t provide any guarantees. By nature, we are working with many unknowns. More experienced SEO consultants are able to better correlate specific inputs with results and hence fine tune an SEO campaign as it progresses.

There are many best practices in SEO, so we never start out with guesses. Better SEO consultants can iterate faster and achieve better results.

Remember that your competition is also trying to achieve the same thing, so it adds more variables into the mix. Generally speaking, if an SEO consultant promises you of top rankings, they are either lying or have an escape clause where they can achieve a top rank for a keyword that won’t really grow your business.
