SEO Case Study: How We Turned a Struggling Dentist’s $40K Website into a $150K+ Asset in Just 10 Months
When Dr. James from florida a highly qualified dentist and physician, approached us, his website had cost him over $40,000 to build — yet it was bringing little to no ROI. No leads. No online sales. No consistent traffic.
Fast forward 10 months: the same website is now a $150,000+ revenue-generating machine, powered by SEO, affiliate marketing, and passive income from online courses.
This is how we did it.
The Problem
Despite having a beautifully designed website, Dr. Smith was facing:
Very low organic traffic (less than 500 visits/month)
No patient inquiries from search engines
No monetization through digital products or partnerships
Poor content structure and technical SEO issues
A blog that hadn’t been updated in 6 months
He had invested in paid ads in the past, but the returns were minimal and inconsistent. He knew organic traffic was the long-term game but didn’t know how to make it work.
Our SEO Strategy
We created a comprehensive SEO strategy tailored to Dr. Smith’s brand, practice, and future goals. It included:
1. Technical SEO Audit & Fixes
Improved site speed (from 6s to 1.9s load time)
Fixed 404 errors, broken links, and poor mobile usability
Optimized the site's crawl budget and indexing structure
2. Keyword Strategy for High-Intent Patients
Researched local and informational keywords such as “best dentist in [city]”, “gum pain treatment at home”, and “teeth whitening cost in [city]”
Built topic clusters around common dental issues, patient concerns, and FAQs
3. Blog & Content Marketing
Created 4 SEO blog posts per month targeting long-tail keywords
Added a “Dental Advice” section optimized for rich snippets
Included video content and infographics to boost engagement
4. Local SEO Optimization
Optimized Google Business Profile and embedded map on the website
Built local citations and got reviews from happy patients
Created geo-targeted service pages for surrounding suburbs
5. Affiliate Income via Fullscript
Dr. Smith used to recommend supplements and oral care products to patients. We:
Helped him set up a Fullscript affiliate account
Created SEO-optimized supplement review pages
Added CTAs in blogs and emails leading to Fullscript sales
6. Launched an Online Course
Helped Dr. Smith create and market an online course: “Dental Hygiene Masterclass: What Your Dentist Wishes You Knew”
Promoted through SEO, email marketing, and YouTube snippets
Priced at $49, the course generated over $12,000 in the first 6 months
