Case Study: a physical therapy clinic in New York City restores organic traffic with Clever Solution

Physical Therapy Clinic in New York City recovers 50% traffic loss with Clever Solution

Clever Solution was engaged by a physical therapy clinic in New York City after its website experienced a 50% decline in organic traffic and a reduced number of calls. This drop in rankings and traffic was attributed to a major Google algorithm update (YMYL), which prioritizes Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness for health-related websites, and the client was being displaced by new competitors.

The solution from Clever Solution involved a comprehensive SEO audit and strategy to bring the site into compliance with E-A-T and YMYL requirements. Key actions included showcasing the clinical director's authority with author bios and credentials, adding references to authoritative sources, and updating obsolete content with new text and media. As a result, the website recovered from the Google filter, restoring search engine trust and significantly increasing organic traffic, as demonstrated by comparing results from one year later.
