Optimizing Your Healthcare Brand with a Comprehensive, Full-Service SEO Plan
Our client, a New York City-based board-certified plastic surgeon, came to 9Sail struggling to separate itself from the large competitive market it faced both online and in Manhattan. The ultimate goal of this was to see an increase in leads for its main business focus of breast procedures such as augmentation, lift, and reduction, as well as mommy makeovers.

Where We Started
Keeping this in mind, 9Sail saw lots of potential for this client to grow. For example, when they started in December of 2020, one of this client’s main conversion pages being utilized had an average of 6 to 20 pageviews and 2 to 5 users per month. To amp up the client’s page views, conversions, and brand awareness, 9Sail began managing their on-site, off-site, and technical SEO; content development; pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns; and digital PR.
Full-Coverage SEO
With the introduction of on-site, off-site, and technical SEO, this client blossomed. 9Sail ran a full content audit to find out how many other pages were performing just like those main conversion pages. Using tools like Google Search Console, 9Sail identified multiple pieces of content and technical aspects that would benefit from optimization, and even some pieces that required full removal. This overhaul of the client’s website was just a first step. With the initial adjustments for on-site SEO made, the 9Sail team began implementing backend changes on technical SEO. This allowed the client to pass all Google Core Web Vitals on both desktop and mobile, with increased traffic, conversions, and site metrics.

Pay-Per-Click Advertising With Google Ads
After seeing the impact 9Sail’s initial SEO adjustments made, our client was ready to introduce paid ads to its marketing initiatives. Pay-per-click (PPC) Google ads are fully customizable, allowing our client to hypertarget specific keywords for a more strategic use of their marketing dollars. Not only that, but 9Sail’s experienced paid ads team uses state of the art technology to best optimize our clients’ budget and campaigns. After building out the client's Google Ads account, the 9Sail team closely tracked which campaigns drove the most qualified leads, allowing for optimizations that led to the conversions you can see in the results section.
