A medical practice Google now quotes by name.

A multi-office spine practice with a 4.9-star reputation and a website that wasn't pulling its weight. We built out a clinical content library and local search program, and tracked every call and form back to its source without touching patient data.

The physicians of Long Island Spine Specialists
The physicians
Where they started
  • Four offices competing for the same searches, with no clear picture of which office or channel produced which calls.
  • Review volume had dropped to roughly half its earlier pace after batched review requests stopped.
  • The paid landing page buried the form at the bottom of a very long page, with a chat popup covering the headline on mobile.
What we built
  1. Ongoing
    Clinical content library

    Plain-English condition and treatment articles, written for patients and structured so search engines and AI answers can cite them.

  2. 2026
    Local search by office

    Google profile work and grid scans for each office, so every location competes for its own neighborhood.

  3. 2026
    Call and form tracking

    Every call and form lands in the CRM tagged by source (organic, paid, chat), with no clinical data in any ad platform.

  4. Oct 2026
    Paid landing page rebuild

    Form above the fold, mobile-first layout, real proof, and connected-call tracking instead of tap counts.

What changed
  • Organic search clicks up 83% year over year for the summer months, with average position improving from the high 30s to single digits.
  • In July 2026, 510 organic calls came in from Google, before any ad spend.
  • Riverhead now shows up across almost the whole grid for "spine surgeon" (visibility 61% → 99%).
  • Commack's wider-area visibility for "spine surgeons" nearly tripled in one month.
What's next

Restart review velocity across all four offices and prove the new paid landing page against the old one.
