Client: A Major Private Dental Clinic
Industry: Healthcare
Service Areas: Content Marketing, Conversion Optimization, Vernacular SEO
Overview
A top-tier private hospital chain in India partnered with The Hideout Marketing to increase their organic blog traffic and improve online appointment bookings. Competing with giants like WebMD and Healthline, our challenge was to establish the hospital’s blog as a trusted medical information source — and convert that traffic into real patients.
Within 12 months, we increased blog traffic by 822%, ranked 295 keywords in Google Featured Snippets, and boosted doctor appointment leads by 596% through strategic SEO and content efforts.
The Challenge
The client’s blog faced multiple challenges:
- Competing with high-authority health sites like WebMD, Healthline, and Practo
- Low visibility for high-volume health-related search terms
- Lack of structured content strategy and internal linking
- Minimal conversion points on blog pages
- No presence in vernacular search despite a multilingual audience
We needed to build trust, relevance, and structure into their content — and turn readers into patients.
Our Strategy
1. Content Optimization & Topic Clustering
We conducted extensive keyword research and created content clusters around high-intent topics such as:
- PCOD
- Piles (Hemorrhoids)
- Migraines & Headaches
- General Women’s Health
Each cluster featured optimized articles with medical accuracy, clear readability, and deep interlinking between related topics — using AI-powered internal linking tools to enhance crawlability and user engagement.
2. Featured Snippet Optimization
We formatted content specifically for Google Featured Snippets, adding:
- Concise definitions for diseases & procedures
- Numbered lists, tables, and bullet summaries
- Alt text, image captions, and structured headings
This approach helped us rank 295 keywords in featured snippets, increasing authority and click-through rates from search results.
3. Vernacular SEO
To reach underserved audiences, we implemented a vernacular SEO strategy by creating content in:
- Hindi (primary contributor to traffic)
- Tamil
- Bengali
We localized keywords, titles, and metadata while maintaining medical accuracy, helping the blog rank well in regional search queries.
4. Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
High traffic alone isn’t enough — so we turned blog readers into patients by:
- Placing contextual CTA buttons within articles (e.g., “Book Consultation with Our Specialists”)
- Highlighting doctors related to each topic
- Embedding appointment booking forms near high-intent sections
This led to a 596% increase in qualified appointment leads.
