Growth Marketing Study-Case

The Initial Challenge (May 2021)

When the partnership with Growth Marketing Studio began in May 2021, the digital landscape for Dolls Plastic Surgery presented significant obstacles:

  1. Insufficient Domain Authority: With a Domain Authority (DA) score of just 6, the website struggled to compete with established players.
  2. Limited Organic Visibility: The clinic was not ranking for high-value, transactional keywords. In 2021, the site recorded only 22K annual organic sessions (Source: Google Analytics).
  3. Fierce Competition: The Miami market demanded an aggressive and technically superior strategy to stand out.

The Strategy: A Comprehensive SEO Approach

Growth Marketing Studio developed a multifaceted strategy centered on three fundamental pillars to build a dominant and sustainable organic presence:

 

1. Strategic Link-Building Acceleration

The primary objective was to increase Google’s trust in the domain. We implemented a rigorous campaign to acquire high-quality backlinks, focusing on digital PR and securing mentions on relevant websites in the health, beauty, and local Florida news sectors. This sustained effort was crucial for raising the domain’s authority.

2. Quality Content Enhancement (E-E-A-T)

We overhauled the site architecture and content quality to meet Google’s E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) standards. The strategy included:

  • Expert Content: Creating detailed guides on procedures, costs, and recovery, positioning the surgeons as industry experts.
  • Local Optimization (Miami): Intensive geographic targeting to ensure relevance in location-based searches.
  • Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO): Improving service pages to ensure that the influx of traffic effectively converted visitors into leads.

3. Strategic Keyword Positioning

We identified high-intent, transactional terms. Our focus was on dominating both competitive generic terms (e.g., “plastic surgery Miami“) and specific long-tail keywords related to procedures sought by patients ready to book a consultation.

Results: Exponential Growth and Market Dominance

The implementation of this strategy generated transformative results, evidenced in both SEO metrics and financial outcomes.
