- 60% SERP share in Delhi NCR across the priority healthcare keyword set.
- Over $40M in revenue attributed to organic search.

Where it stands now
The Base Kept Compounding
Semrush's all-time view shows steady growth through the engagement years, and a curve that kept climbing long after it. Semrush figures are third-party estimates; the two views were captured on different dates and use different databases, so they are not meant to be added together.

Why it needed work
Nothing was broken, but nothing was growing, and patients were reading third-party health publishers instead.
Where things stood
Nothing Was Broken, but Nothing Was Growing
In October 2020, Google Analytics recorded 315,615 organic sessions, just 4.37% more than in October 2019.
Patients searching for conditions, symptoms and procedures were landing on third-party health publishers rather than on the hospital that could actually treat them.
| Metric | October 2019 | October 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organic sessions | 302,392 | 315,615 | +4.37% |
| New users | 192,664 | 203,082 | +5.41% |

Who it was for
A hospital network in Delhi NCR, competing with third-party health publishers for patients researching their conditions.

How we did it
Start with the queries the site was nearly winning, then build the pages that make it the obvious answer.
What we did
Start With the Queries You Are Nearly Winning
- 01
Started with first-party data
The site's own Search Console queries were exported and clustered with NLP. That surfaced 20 informational keywords, with 2M+ combined search volume, already sitting at positions 2 to 3.
- 02
Entity gap analysis
What the position-1 pages covered was compared with what Max's pages covered. The gaps became the brief.
- 03
Keyword-mapped briefs
One cluster, one URL. Writers built pillar pages, developers shipped medical schema and designers produced diagrams and doctor assets, all released together.
- 04
Local intent
Content was tuned to how people in Delhi NCR search, so the hospital ranked where its patients were.
