Sky Storm Digital partnered with a leading Speech Therapy clinic in the UAE to revolutionize their online presence through comprehensive Local SEO and Organic SEO strategies. The clinic’s objective was to increase visibility among local families searching for speech therapy services, improve appointment bookings, and grow overall brand authority within the UAE’s competitive healthcare sector.

The client is an established speech therapy clinic based in the UAE, specializing in speech and language development for children and adults. Despite excellent in-person services, their online visibility was minimal, limiting potential reach and new client acquisition.

• Limited Local Visibility: The clinic did not appear in top local search results or map packs for key search terms.
• Weak Organic Rankings: Low rankings for high-intent organic keywords relevant to speech therapy.
• Sparse Google Business Profile: Incomplete and inconsistent business information.
• Low Website Traffic: Minimal organic and local traffic due to poor website optimization.
• Unoptimized On-Page Content: No keyword targeting or structured data for search.

After six months of implementing Sky Storm Digital’s Local and Organic SEO strategies, the speech therapy clinic experienced a significant boost in their online presence and client engagement. Monthly organic traffic increased from just 150 visitors to an impressive 1,400 visitors.

The clinic’s visibility in local map pack results improved dramatically, achieving top 3 rankings in key UAE regions including Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi. Additionally, their Google reviews grew from 8 with an average rating of 3.6 stars to 57 reviews averaging 4.8 stars, enhancing their local credibility.

Main service pages that previously ranked on pages 4 and 5 of search results surged to the coveted first page. Most importantly, the number of online appointment requests rose from 5 per month to 32, reflecting a tangible impact on their business growth.
