Case Study: Morningside Acupuncture achieves explosive local SEO growth with Semrush

Morningside Acupuncture Pins Down Problems

Morningside Acupuncture, a New York City acupuncture practice led by Teddy Levarda, needed a cost-effective way to attract more local customers and outrank nearby competitors online. Before using Semrush, the business had limited visibility into how customers found it, making local SEO and organic growth a major challenge.

Semrush helped Morningside Acupuncture use local search tools like Listing Management, Review Management, Keyword Overview, and Map Rank Tracker to improve directory consistency, build 200+ reviews, and target high-value local keywords. The results were dramatic: traffic doubled or tripled in the first three months, appointments grew 2.5x, revenue quadrupled from 2020 to 2021, and organic web traffic later rose from about 1,000 monthly visits to 20,000–30,000, a 2,900% increase.
