Initial problems
The challenge
- Website was limited by a pre-coded template preventing us from internally linking popular, valuable treatments from areas like the homepage.
- The little content that existed on the site had spelling and grammatical errors and failed to answer basic patient questions regarding treatment, procedure and cost.
- Navigation was difficult to use and understand – it was not presented clearly for a user to work through the website due to poor website design.
- The website is tied into a strict, templated architectural structure prevalent among many Digimax websites. For example, all products live under one section /treatment, which is not optimal for high SEO performance.
- No image alt tags, optimisation or internal and external linking were present.
- The website was slow and did not perform as well on a mobile device.
Our action plan
The solution
- Optimised the website, auditing its health, site speed and functionality.
- Improved the website navigation to make it clearer for users and to encourage higher CTR, so they could easily navigate the website.
- Cleaned the CSS and improved it where necessary to make the website more readable. Improving essential areas like the header and footer.
- Develop a content plan primarily focusing on orthodontics instead of “dentist.”
- Improve the website’s design and the inner treatment pages, where users interact and engage the most.
- Ensuring the website ranked for locations like London and key phrases like “orthodontist London”, of which they still hold high positions today (2023).
- Improving the UX journey, developing USPs and marketing the practice’s orthodontic treatments better.
