The Challenge
Building a Digital Presence Worthy of a Premier San Francisco “Concierge Practice.“
The Situation
Golden Gate Concierge Medicine came to me with a simple request: audit and tune up its Squarespace website
for healthcare SEO best practices. Because the practice relies heavily on referred patients (those introduced by
existing members, partner physicians, or trusted networks), the website was underdeveloped relative to the caliber
of the practice itself.
The Stakes
In concierge medicine, the website is a digital extension of the patient experience. A thin site, limited
physician pages, and underdeveloped local search presence can make even a highly respected practice feel less
established at the exact moment trust matters most. Pre-engagement, the site was attracting only 157 monthly
sessions, and every prospective patient evaluating a $5,000-per-year membership inquiry was forming a first
impression on a website that was not telling the practice’s full story.
The Goal
Move the practice from a basic SEO tune-up to a comprehensive digital growth engine. Build physician
authority pages, modernize the visual treatment, sharpen the membership inquiry path, and lay a local SEO
foundation that would compound over time.
The Strategy
A Squarespace Rebuild, Physician Authority Buildout, and Local SEO
Foundation.
Over a focused ten-week engagement, I executed a phased website, content, and SEO overhaul inside
Squarespace, moving the practice from a simple tune-up to a stronger digital growth engine.
Physician Authority Pages
Built detailed, SEO-optimized bio pages for the practice’s four concierge
physicians, incorporating real photos, board certifications, education, training, hospital affiliations, awards, care
philosophy, and clinical interests.
Squarespace Visual Overhaul
Overhauled the visual treatment across layouts, navigation, color palette,
and page flow so the site reflected the caliber of a high-touch, private-pay medical practice.
Membership Inquiry Path
Rebuilt the homepage, changed “Contact” to “Membership Inquiry,” reworked
“Membership” into “Member Benefits,” and rewrote the messaging to guide prospective members toward the
right next step.
Partners & Network Repositioning
Transformed the former Sollis Health page into a broader
Partners/Network page, giving the practice room to showcase collaborations and strategic relationships over
time.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
Created and optimized the Google Business Profile, then
improved metadata, internal links, image details, page structure, and on-page content to support
physician-name searches and local visibility across the San Francisco market.
THE IMPACT
The Results: Organic Content Outperforms Paid Ads
Comparing the pre-launch baseline to the most recent reporting month, ten months of post-launch growth
compounded into a clear shift in performance:
