K9 Clinics is a dog fertility clinic, based in London, that offers top-notch pet healthcare services, including breeding and grooming of dogs of all ages and species. Despite a strong online presence and an expert team of vets, the clinic faced critical challenges online: almost no organic traffic, low keyword visibility, and poor local reach.
Through focused SEO efforts and local optimization, K9 Clinics saw a staggering 48,300% traffic growth in just thirteen months and achieved a 1938% boost in business engagement, dramatically expanding their customer base and online reach.
When I began the SEO journey for this dog fertility clinic, their website was compromised with several critical limitations that hindered its ability to attract and convert potential clients, including:
🔴 The website had almost no organic search visibility (just 2 visits a month)
🔴 Only thirteen keywords (severely limited) ranked at the beginning
🔴 Weak domain authority restricted overall rankings and trustworthiness
🔴 The domain of well-established competitors in the local veterinary niche required aggressive optimization
🔴 Unoptimized Google My Business (GMB) listing and missing local citations
🔴 Technical issues on the site were affecting crawlability and user experience
In order to turn the situation around 180°, I designed a comprehensive monthly SEO strategy and implemented it for 13 months in this way:
🟡 I performed a full technical SEO audit and resolved website technical issues (resolving crawl errors, broken links, and optimizing site speed).
🟡 I developed engaging, localized service pages and blog content targeting pet owners.
🟡 I implemented location-specific keywords for local visibility on the landing pages.
🟡 I optimized on-page elements, including meta descriptions, title tags, URL structures, and image alt text.
🟡 I created structured internal linking to distribute link juice across the site.
🟡 I improved local SEO by enhancing the GMB profile, building consistent local NAP citations, photos, services, and reviews.
🟡 I built strong local citations across veterinary and pet-care directories to increase trust signals.
The strategic SEO and local search optimization transformed K9 Clinics manifold with these remarkable outcomes:
🟢 Organic search traffic boosted from 2 to 968 as monthly visits
🟢 This increased traffic showed a 48,300% surge
🟢 Keyword rankings jumped from 13 to 265 keywords, which was +1938% growth
🟢 Google My Business engagement significantly increased, generating more inquiries, customer reviews, and map visibility
🟢 The pet breeding site gained authority and trust that outranked local competitors on high-converting keywords
🟢 Business operations expanded with a noticeable rise in pet appointments as well as foot traffic
From February 2022 to March 2023, K9 Clinics experienced unusual growth in its local business. With nearly 80% traffic growth and a 20x boost in search engine presence, this pet business became a top local contender in the veterinary care industry by attracting new pet owners daily from organic search and map listings.
