  • Website:https://www.miamiorthodontistgroup.com/
  • Industry:Orthodontic Services
  • Target Market:Miami & Doral, Florida, USA
  • Challenges:

    The SEO challenges that we faced at the beginning of the campaign were the proper keyword research & targeting with focused on-page optimization. There was also a lack of Google Indexing of all the website pages and important on-page parameters (page titles, meta descriptions, header tags, canonical links). These were the main issues that we needed to resolve. The major challenges were:

    • 1) High Competition
    • 2) Lack of Quality Traffic
    • 3) Minimal Social Media Presence
    • 4) Poor Quality Backlinks

Our Findings :

YourSEOPick team identified the following issues that were the cause for the Miami Orthodontist Group website’s poor performance on search engines.

Improper Title Tags:

Title tags are the most important on-page element to influence rankings. Title tags should be unique for each page, with the primary keyword at the beginning and the brand at the end. Adding a unique title tag to each page summarizing the focus of the page will improve relevance and search engine rankings for targeted keywords. In the old title tags, we found that the primary targeted keywords were not highlighted in the titles.

Missing Meta Descriptions:

Meta descriptions are a brief description and summary of the contents of the page. Optimized meta descriptions improve the click-through rate. Meta descriptions should include a call to action and align with the title and H1 tag of the page. In the old meta descriptions, we found that the primary keywords were not used.

Missing Heading Tags:

Heading tags outline the hierarchy of content and must be unique to each page to help search crawlers understand the topical focus for a specific page and its subsections. Adding unique H1 heading tags to each page summarizing the focus of the page will improve its relevance and search engine rankings for targeted keywords. During our technical assessment, we found that there were no H1 header tags used on the homepage of the website.

Domain Authority & Trust:

The domain authority of a site is an important factor that ranks the site either as a high-quality or a low-quality site. It is measured on a 100 point scale. A site that scores above 40 points is considered to be a fair, good-quality site. Sites that score above 70 are considered to be truly high-quality sites. When YourSEOPick team tested Miami Orthodontist Groups’ domain authority, we found it was 17 (out of 100). It showed that the site’s quality was low in terms of trust and authority. Therefore, it required attention.

How we did it?

Approach:

We understand that increasing visibility over the internet is the key to success for any business. Miami Orthodontist Group, being an Oral Health Solution provider, should have a strong online impact. They intend to draw visitors based in Miami & Doral, Florida. Therefore, the website must continually be shown in search results to gain more and more mind share with each potential customer. To gain a higher rank on the SERPs was our prime objective as it will lead to more visitors resulting in higher conversions.

Implementation:

Phase 1 – Website audit

We assessed the existing website against a list of checkpoints. These included major ones like website errors, design issues, links, URL health, meta tags, article content quality, robots.txt, file size, alt tags, image optimization, XML & Visual sitemap, etc.

After completion of the website audit, the major issues found on the website were as follows:
  • Missing H1 tags
  • Missing Alt tags
  • W3C Errors
  • Images With Sizes More Than 105kb
  • Improper Meta Title & Meta Descriptions
  • No Microdata
  • No Structured Data Markup
  • No SEO Friendly URLs

  • Poor Quality Backlinks & Fewer Backlinks

Phase 2 – Keyword research

Extensive keyword research was carried out on keywords like “miami orthodontic specialist ”, “dentofacial orthopedics ”, “alquizar orthodontics”, and more using keyword research tools like Google Ads.

The process :

  • Extracting the search term from each page of the website.
  • Generating a list of most relevant keywords.
  • Analysing the keywords used by the competitors.
  • Finding number of search results and global searches per month for each keyword.
  • Derivation of the most appropriate, profitable generic keywords based on The Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI) and client demands.
  • Derivation of secondary and long-tail keywords for pages other than the homepage and for specific pages.

Phase 3 – On-page optimization

On-page optimization was the most demanding aspect of the Miami Orthodontist Group website. We did this through content optimization at the core of all on-page factors. We set up the Google webmasters tool to crawl and track the website errors and the Google Analytics Account to analyze the website traffic respectively. Apart from this, we optimized the Miami Orthodontist Group website for SEO Friendly URLs, Image Size & Alt Text, Meta Title & Meta Description, linking structure, Sitemap & Robots.txt, W3C compliance, and various other on-page factors.

Phase 4 – Website testing

We performed a website assessment to find any errors, bugs, content mistakes, and usability to check the website's SEO health after on-page optimization.

  • Post-optimization report was sent to the client.
  • Website changes finalized with the client's approval.

Phase 5 – Off-page optimization

As the Miami Orthodontist Group website is targeted towards Miami & Doral, Florida, USA, the core strategy for off-page optimization was set towards creating high-quality natural backlinks and social influence backlinks. We also wanted to create niche backlinks that could significantly help this kind of site to get higher rankings. We initiated this by carrying out 'Article Submissions' in high PR quality article sites. The title of each article focused on a generic keyword with an inner category link in the content.

Off-Page Tasks

Image Submission: High-quality image submission on the relevant sites helps gain more backlinks. This increase in backlinks leads to a boost in website rankings and online visibility and would help gain more traffic.
