A St. Louis clinic stands out in a crowded metro healthcare market
Competing against large hospital systems, a St. Louis clinic needed to win new-patient searches. A focused, local healthcare strategy made search a reliable patient-acquisition channel.
The challenge
The clinic was nearly invisible in search next to St. Louis’s major hospital systems, which dominated broad healthcare terms across the metro of 2.8 million.
New patients were finding competitors first, and the clinic had no efficient, measurable channel for patient acquisition.
What we did
Rather than fight the systems on broad terms, we targeted the specific, local "near me" and service searches patients actually use, mapped by neighborhood across the metro.
We optimized the Google Business Profile and reviews, built service and condition content for the clinic’s specialties, and earned verifiable, healthcare-relevant links, all reported with live URLs.
The results
New-patient inquiries from search rose 132% over five months as the clinic began ranking in the local results for its core services across its service area.
The clinic gained a measurable, repeatable patient-acquisition channel it could see and trust, down to the URL.
As a St. Louis clinic we needed to stand out in a big, crowded metro. They built a Missouri healthcare strategy around the searches our patients actually use, and our new-patient inquiries are up 132% in five months.
