Dr Kate Kass Case Study

SEO is growing in popularity as more and more people turn to the internet. Businesses are no longer strictly brick and mortar stores. Even if there is a physical location, companies will also have a website for their services and products. With such high rates of online presence, it is vital that your site stand out among the crowd. That’s where Logic Inbound intervenes with our SEO strategies and growth marketing mindfulness.

We conducted a case study that looks at one of our clients, Dr. Kate Kass. Read on to learn more about her industry as well as her specific field.

Background on Dr. Kate Kass

Dr. Kate Kass is a local functional medicine specialist and holistic physician in the Seattle area. Her skill set focuses on naturopathy, age management, regenerative medicine, and sexual health.

She began her practice in 2014, working out of a shared clinic with other doctors. Logic Inbound started an SEO campaign for her business in 2016. Logic Inbound enhanced her content, created additional pages, and increased the rate of exposure her website receives. The team continuously monitors her traffic and presence in search queries over time.

By doing so, Dr. Kate Kass received an influx of new patients and her business is now booming. Today, Dr. Kate Kass has her own growing practice with multiple nurses and is looking for doctors to work under her. The following case study explains how Logic Inbound successfully channeled online search traffic towards Dr. Kate Kass’ website.

The Challenge

Dr. Kate Kass dreamed of opening an office space of her own. At the beginning of her SEO campaign, Dr. Kate Kass shared a clinic with her colleagues.  She was working for Sage Medical Group, an integrative medical center that offers practitioners a room of their own within the shared clinic. At the time, Dr. Kate Kass had to generate her own leads. This was done through word-of-mouth referrals and the occasional patient who found her online.

Logic Inbound needed to uncover the best possible SEO solution that would not only drive more traffic to Dr. Kate Kass’ website but also triumph over her local competitor in Google rankings. The challenge was simple: build authority and create credibility. The solution was more complex.

Logic Inbound’s SEO Solution

Logic Inbound altered Dr. Kate Kass’ existing website by formatting her content to include relevant keywords. We created a service page for each service she offers. Google ranks individual pages, not websites as a whole, so we always make it a priority to ensure full optimization of each page.

We researched how qualified prospects in Seattle use Google search to find these services and designed her informational service pages around these findings. We implemented on-page optimizations in accordance with our research. We increased the word count of her existing content, bringing each service page up to 1,000-2,000 words.

Google favors web pages with higher word counts. It’s also important that well-written content is formatted with structured data, including lists, bullet points, tables, YouTube videos, H1s, and a liberal use of H2s. Structured data drives higher usage engagement factors such as time on site, bounce rate, number of pages viewed, and forms submitted.

Google shows the best possible search results first so they prioritize pages that align with this heuristic. Web pages that suit their algorithm are more likely to appear at the top of search results. Pages that meet standards set by Google are assumed to be more useful to their users than the pages that lack factors Google considers important.

SEO Keywords Targeted

The team at Logic Inbound implemented optimal SEO tools and incorporated marketing strategies into their work with Dr. Kate Kass.

By embedding backlinks in numerous places and inserting vital keywords throughout the website’s text, Logic Inbound enhanced the content on her website in a manner that elevated SEO.

Keyword research is an unwavering tactic that Logic Inbound integrates into its growth marketing plans. Knowledge pertaining to keywords and which ones rank highest on search engines is invaluable.
