Client Background:
A mid-sized multi-specialty hospital with in-house clinics and diagnostic facilities across two cities. The hospital offered a range of healthcare services, including cardiology, orthopedics, gynecology, pediatrics, and day-care surgeries. With a strong offline presence and skilled doctors, they were looking to improve their digital visibility and attract more local patients through organic search.

The hospital lacked a modern digital presence and struggled to rank for high-intent search terms such as “best clinic near me” or “multi-specialty hospital in [city].” Despite offering 24/7 emergency care and outpatient services, they were losing out to better-optimized competitors online. Appointment bookings from organic channels were low, and overall lead generation through the website was minimal.
