Dominating Local Search for a Boca Raton Therapist
From Invisible to Top 3: How SEO and GMB Optimization Transformed Online Presence in Boca Raton
Business Challenge:
As a new group practice in Boca Raton the organization sought to expand their online presence and attract more local clients through organic search. Despite a strong reputation and successful client outcomes, their website traffic was stagnant, and they were not ranking in the coveted top three positions on Google’s local search results for therapists in Boca Raton. With telehealth services growing in demand, visibility in local search results was critical to driving new client inquiries.
Solution:
I developed a data-driven SEO strategy, with a laser focus on optimizing the Google My Business (GMB) profile and enhancing organic search rankings.
The campaign included:

- Content & Local SEO Strategy: Created a content plan featuring authoritative blog posts on mental health topics and client pain points, strategically incorporating target keywords to enhance on-site SEO.
- Organic Social & Digital Content Campaign: Launched a targeted organic social media strategy, including engaging posts and mental health tips across key platforms to drive awareness and traffic to the website. This complemented the SEO strategy by increasing brand visibility and user engagement.
- Backlink & Citation Building: Secured high-quality local backlinks and directory citations to strengthen the site’s authority.
Results and Impact:
Within four months, the Google My Business listing achieved a top-three ranking in Google’s local pack for “Therapists in Boca Raton.” The website’s organic traffic increased by 112%, and appointment requests surged by 75%. Additionally, the optimized GMB profile generated a 42% increase in phone calls and direct inquiries from local search users. The organic social and content campaign contributed to a 30% increase in website engagement and helped solidify the therapist’s brand as a trusted local provider.
By implementing a well-researched SEO strategy, optimizing Google My Business, and leveraging organic social media and content marketing, I transformed this therapist’s online visibility and lead generation.
