El reto

SurgeonsLab had already established an online presence, but organic growth was not reaching its full potential.

The company wanted to:

Increase organic traffic
Improve keyword rankings
Generate more qualified leads
Increase user engagement
Strengthen visibility in key markets

Like many healthcare websites, success required more than ranking for keywords. The site needed to attract the right audience, keep visitors engaged, and convert that traffic into meaningful business opportunities.

A Closer Look at the Numbers

The following sections break down the key metrics behind the campaign, including search visibility, traffic growth, engagement, and lead generation.

Improved Search Visibility

We optimized existing pages, improved keyword targeting, strengthened site structure, and refined on-page SEO elements to help search engines better understand and rank the website.

Average ranking position improved from 13.6 to 9.1

These improvements helped more pages move closer to page-one rankings and created additional opportunities for organic traffic growth.

Expanded Visibility in Key Markets

After improving overall visibility, we focused on strengthening performance in important geographic markets. The client wanted to strengthen visibility in key markets, particularly the United States.

Comentarios del cliente

“Before working with Marqade, organic search wasn’t generating the kind of results we knew were possible. Over the course of the campaign, we saw steady improvements in rankings, traffic, and engagement. What stood out most was the growth in qualified leads coming from organic search. The results weren’t just visible in the data—they had a real impact on the business.”
