“When we took over, the practice was reaching about 100 people a month through Google. Today it reaches more than 5,000, and ranks on page one for over 450 searches.”

The challenge

A practice slipping out of search

Under its previous SEO provider, the practice's organic visibility had been small and shrinking. Rankings thinned out through late 2024, and by spring 2025 search traffic had fallen to its lowest level in two years. That is when the practice came to Infinity Medical Marketing.

The results

More rankings, more reach, more value

Three months in, the site passed the best month the previous provider ever delivered. Traffic peaked at 5,638 in September 2026 and has averaged 5,120 a month over the latest three months. Page-one keywords grew from 19 to 462, and 175 of them now rank in the top 3.

Equivalent ad value
$3,301 /mo

What this organic traffic would cost to buy through Google Ads, up from $119 a month at takeover. That is 27x more value every month, without paying per click.

The approach

A content-led SEO program built for neurology

Patient-education content that ranks

New articles answering the questions patients ask before neurological testing and treatment. These pages went from zero to roughly 3,400 readers a month.

2

Testing and procedure explainers

Plain-language guides to diagnostic tests patients feel anxious about, now the single largest source of the practice's search visibility.

3

Condition and specialist pages

New and optimized pages for the conditions the practice treats, each built to rank for local specialist searches.

4

Steady, compounding growth

Content built month over month, growing page-one keywords from 19 to more than 450 and top-3 rankings from 5 to 175.
