Goodlaugh Inc. (Headquarters: Higashinada-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture; Representative Director: Masatsugu Komaki), a company specializing in web marketing support, is releasing a success story regarding SEO measures implemented for an orthopedic clinic (Clinic A, a pseudonym, in Hyogo Prefecture) that was struggling with the issue of "having a website but failing to increase web-based appointments."

As a result of implementing a strategic web marketing plan, the clinic achieved top search rankings for key patient-acquisition keywords within one year, and the number of new appointments via the web increased by over 150% compared to the previous year, successfully turning the web into a "lifeline" for their business management.

◆ Background of the Case Study: The Reality of a Website That Is "Just There"

While Clinic A was providing community-based medical care, their existing website contained outdated information and was buried under competitors when searching for specific keywords.

・ Challenge 1: Search rankings for key patient-acquisition keywords (e.g., "Region Name + Orthopedic Surgery") were stagnant at 20th place or lower.

・ Challenge 2: Appointments via the website were only a few per month, meaning the web was not contributing to patient acquisition.

・ Challenge 3: While they felt the need for web marketing, they lacked the internal resources and expertise to implement measures.

In the increasingly competitive medical industry, our company determined that "turning the website into an asset" is essential for stable management, and we launched a strategic SEO project.

◆ Three Solutions Executed by Goodlaugh

We implemented measures to thoroughly enhance "content expertise" and "evaluation by search engines."

Thorough Competitor Analysis and Keyword Strategy

・ We analyzed the web strategies of competing clinics in the region and selected a group of keywords that would reach the patient demographic most in need of Clinic A's "strengths."

Execution of High-Expertise Content SEO

・ Based on interviews with the clinic director and specialists, we strategically created and published highly reliable professional articles regarding the symptoms and treatments patients face. This built a foundation to increase Google's evaluation over the medium to long term.

Optimization of MEO and Technical SEO

・ We provided operational support for Google Business Profile (MEO) while simultaneously implementing technical optimizations such as website loading speed and mobile responsiveness, achieving an overall improvement in search evaluation.

◆ Concrete Results One Year After Implementation

As a result of continuously implementing these measures, Clinic A has established web marketing as a new pillar for patient acquisition.

Significant Improvement in Search Rankings

・ Consistently achieved the top (1st) search ranking for the most important patient-acquisition keywords. Also achieved top-3 rankings for other major keywords across the board.

Increase in Web-Based Patient Acquisition

・ The number of new appointments and inquiries via the website increased by over 150% compared to the previous year. In particular, they succeeded in attracting younger patients.

Improved Regional Credibility

・ By appearing at the top of search results, the clinic's recognition and credibility as a specialized clinic in the region improved dramatically.

This success story demonstrates that web marketing is no longer an "option" but an "essential investment" in clinic management.

We will continue to support the web strategies of medical institutions and contribute to their medium- to long-term management stability.
