Our Award-Winning Campaign
Unlocking Paws-itive Pet-tential
We’re proud to have our hard work recognized by the judges but watching our clients grow and thrive in the real reward. Our award-winning SEO campaign with Bond Vet represents the work we love to produce, and helping them grow and thrive has been incredibly satisfying.
Campaign Objectives
When our team first met with Bond Vet, they had two clinics open. They now have nine locations across NYC, with more to come every quarter. As one of the fastest-growing animal wellness providers in the New York City area, they needed a communicative SEO agency to partner with their in-house marketing team.
Their primary objectives were to improve visibility for their new clinics, increase organic traffic, and, most importantly, boost conversions. Specifically, they wanted to achieve top five rankings for top keywords for all locations.
They also wanted to be seen as a thought leader and authoritative resource in the animal wellness industry through an effective content marketing strategy. And, of course, increasing the number of search-driven online bookings was a primary goal.
The Challenges
Our client was in growth mode but needed to boost their local search visibility to justify moving forward with their new clinic locations. Unfortunately, their website was also plagued with technical SEO issues that were affecting rankings in search.
Information architecture on Bond Vet’s site was highly disorganized, which was preventing easy browsing and crawlability. They also lacked a strategic content creation strategy to attract local and national pet lovers.
Our Strategy
Our team started by analyzing Bond Vet’s current keyword performance, locating opportunities, and defining a keyword strategy to increase traffic. Then, we helped their in-house writing team develop a keyword-targeted content marketing campaign that resonates with local and national pet owners.
We set out to increase Bond Vet’s local visibility by creating optimized clinic location pages and optimizing their Google My Business listings. We also built local links via Digital PR to showcase Bond Vet as a great local brand every pet owner in the area should know about.
A competitive analysis helped us locate organic search opportunities paying off for Bond Vet’s primary competitors. We also dug into Bond Vet’s existing content to improve crawlability and boost rankings.
We developed a strong on-page SEO strategy using target keywords to improve their relevancy and trust in the pet wellness industry. In addition, our technical SEO audit helped locate backend issues that could negatively impact their rankings in search.
Then, we rounded out our efforts by achieving backlinks in industry-specific publications to build trust, drive more national traffic, and boost off-page SEO.
The Results
We are proud to say that Bond Vet has seen dramatic monthly growth in organic traffic and conversions at all six of its current locations. Overall, our strategy has led to a 2,111% increase in organic traffic and a 2,520% increase in page one Google rankings.
This positive movement has resulted in more quality leads for Bond Vet, translating into more bookings for their telehealth and in-clinic animal wellness services across all nine locations. This growth has been essential for building brand awareness as Bond Vet continues to expand throughout NYC.
