Local SEO Puts HFI on the Map

Houston Fertility Institute serves women looking to conceive at 13 clinics across the city of Houston. While the doctors are focused on making dreams come true, we make sure future parents can find HFI at the exact moment they need them. Organic search is a huge source of new patients for the fertility clinic and showing up for local searches including "fertility + Houston" and "IVF in Houston" is key.

We developed a local SEO strategy to support our overall optimization roadmap which focused on increasing visibility in the local 3-pack and cleaning up citations. Our efforts drove hundreds of new website visitors resulting in a 36% increase in monthly contact form submissions.
