Case Study: Boosting SEO Success for My FootDr

January 28, 2025

My FootDr is one of Australia’s leading podiatry networks, providing top-notch foot care services to patients nationwide.

Their website was already performing well, driving substantial SEO traffic and generating a steady stream of new patient bookings.

However, they approached us at SEO for Small Business Australia with a simple yet ambitious goal: to take their success to the next level.

Two years later, we’re thrilled to share the results: SEO increased organic traffic by 45% and new patient bookings by 47%.

Here’s how we did it.

Challenges We Faced

Although My FootDr had a solid SEO foundation, there were key areas ripe for improvement:

  1. Intense Competition: The allied healthcare industry is highly competitive, particularly for local services like podiatry. Competing with local clinics and large health directories required a precise, targeted strategy.
  2. Content Gaps: While the site had a wealth of information, we identified opportunities to expand its content to target more specific keywords and patient queries.
  3. Technical SEO Opportunities: Despite good performance, we uncovered several technical elements that could be fine-tuned to improve site health and crawlability.
  4. Local SEO Optimisation: With multiple clinic locations, it was critical to strengthen their visibility in local searches and dominate the “near me” landscape.

Our Approach

We employed a comprehensive strategy focused on technical SEO and content optimisation to achieve measurable results.

Here are the steps we took.

Technical SEO Improvements

Site Speed Optimisation

We analysed site performance and implemented measures to enhance loading times, such as compressing images, leveraging browser caching, and reducing unnecessary code.

 

Mobile Usability

Given the growing number of patients searching for services on their phones, we ensured the site was fully optimised for mobile users.

 

Crawlability and Indexing

We cleaned up the site’s structure to eliminate orphan pages and duplicate content, making it easier for search engines to crawl and index.

Content Revamp and Expansion

In-Depth Service Pages

We enhanced existing pages with detailed descriptions, FAQs, and patient-friendly language to serve user intent better.

 

Targeting Long-Tail Keywords

We created blog posts and resources to answer common patient questions, such as “What causes plantar fasciitis?” and “How do you choose the best orthotics?”

 

Local Focus

We tailored content to emphasise individual clinic locations, ensuring relevance to local audiences.

Local SEO Domination

Google Business Profiles

Optimised their Google Business Profiles (GBPs) for all clinic locations by adding photos, patient reviews, and updated contact details.

 

NAP Consistency

Ensured consistent Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) information across the website and third-party directories.

 

Location Pages

Improved location pages by adding locally relevant keywords, directions, and unique content.

Analytics and Continuous Optimisation

We continuously monitored keyword rankings, traffic, and user behaviour, allowing us to adapt and refine our strategy based on data insights.

Monthly reporting ensured My FootDr’s team stayed informed and engaged throughout the process.

The Results

After two years of collaboration, here’s what we achieved:

  1. 45% Increase in Organic Traffic: We drove significant growth in search engine traffic by targeting high-intent keywords and optimising the site’s structure.
  2. 47% More New Patients from SEO: Improved local SEO and user-focused content helped us convert more visitors into bookings.
  3. Enhanced Local Visibility: My FootDr now ranks in the top positions for nearly all their target local keywords, including highly competitive phrases like “podiatrist near me” and “order custom orthotics.”
  4. Improved Site Health: Technical fixes boosted site performance metrics, ensuring a smooth experience for both users and search engines.
