MacLean Sports Physiotherapy is a rehabilitation clinic focused on sports injury recovery, physiotherapy treatment, and movement optimization. The clinic serves athletes, active individuals, and patients seeking professional rehabilitation care.
Operating in a competitive healthcare market, the clinic required improvements to its digital presence to better attract new patients and convert website visitors into booked appointments.
Challenge
Before the engagement, the clinic faced several core challenges:
-
Limited organic visibility for key physiotherapy and injury-related searches.
-
Website structure that did not fully support conversions or patient decision-making.
-
Opportunities for stronger service messaging to better communicate expertise.
-
Technical SEO gaps impacting search engine performance.
The website functioned primarily as an informational platform rather than an optimized patient acquisition tool.

The project focused on three primary goals:
-
Improve website usability and conversion pathways.
-
Increase organic search visibility for physiotherapy services.
