The Diagnosis

Plenty of content, but invisible in search

Despite having significant content, IBS Clinics were invisible for the searches that mattered, hampered by previous agency misalignment and a lack of clear strategy.

Knowledge gap

Previous agencies failed to understand the nuances of gut-health clinical offerings.

Metric issues

No accurate measurement of how users were arriving, or which channels actually drove bookings.

Strategic deficit

The clinic lacked a clear direction for increasing patient enquiries and sustained growth.

Lost opportunities

Significant website pages existed but weren't optimised to be discovered in search.

The Treatment Plan

A three-stage strategy built for gut-health clinics

Strategic roadmap

Mapping the patient journey from symptom search to consultation.

Patient pain-point identification

Isolating the specific phrases and emotional triggers gut-health patients use in private search.

Foundational backlog

Planned site-design improvements, technical SEO fixes and a content marketing calendar.

Active execution

Turning strategy into measurable online visibility.

Content remediation

Edited existing pages and created new content that pre-empted patients' clinical questions.

Mainstream media coverage

Journalist outreach resulted in clinic expertise being featured in mainstream national media.

Compounding growth

Doubling down on high-converting data patterns.

Data-led iteration

Regular clinical data reviews to identify further opportunities for conversion improvement.

Scale strategy

Continuously refined content clusters to ensure traffic growth converted to high-value leads.
