The essentials, in four lines

  • When people in Cork search for a physio on a phone, you come up fifth, below two directories and two practices.
  • Your Google profile has the wrong category, no Eircode and 14 reviews against 180 for the leader.
  • Your website has one “Services” page, so Google has nothing to show for sports injuries or back pain.
  • On a phone, your home page takes several seconds to show anything, and the call button is at the bottom.

1 · How customers search

The searches that bring patients

Most people search for the service plus the city or “near me”, and a smaller group searches for the problem: back pain, a sports injury, pelvic floor therapy. Each group needs its own page.

2 · Your Google listing

Google Business Profile

The profile is listed as “Medical clinic”, has no Eircode and still shows last year's bank holiday hours, with no photos of the treatment rooms. The practices in the top three have the right category, recent photos and replies to every review.

3 · Your website on a phone

Speed and contact

Away from Wi-Fi the home page is slow, and the phone number is only in the footer. The contact form asks for nine fields.

The plan

The plan, page by page

Each page answers a group of searches and leads to a call or a booking.

PageFor people searchingWhy
/physio-cork“physio cork, physiotherapist near me”The main search, served today by a general home page. It's the core of the local SEO work.
/sports-injury-physio“sports injury physio cork”GAA and rugby players search for this specifically and find nothing on the site.
/back-pain-treatment“back pain physio cork”The problem patients mention most often.
/ballincollig-clinic“physio ballincollig”Your second practice, with its own searches and no page of its own.

What we wouldn't do

  • Ads for now: the listing and the main pages would bring more for the money.
  • A blog with weekly posts: four strong pages first.
  • Pages for towns you don't really serve.

The fixed quote

In your audit, this is where the price for the whole plan goes, line by line. For this clinic it would look like this:

  • New website with the four pages above, the Google listing fixed and calls and forms tracked, at a fixed price paid once it's live and you've checked it.
  • SEO afterwards, if you want it: a monthly fee, with the first one once the setup is live and no long-term contract.
  • Delivery: about 6 weeks from the day you accept, with the exact date signed.
  • The price covers the work in the proposal. Rankings aren't part of it, because Google decides them.
