EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Edinburgh healthcare is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
Edinburgh healthcare businesses losing patients to Google search competitors
Edinburgh's healthcare sector thrives across private practices, dental clinics, wellness centres, and allied health services—but most lack local SEO strategy. With 38,000 SMBs in the metro competing for attention and average digital spend at £2,600/month, healthcare providers are losing visible real estate to better-optimized competitors. Patients search 'dentist near me' and 'private GP Edinburgh' every day; if you're not on page one of Google Maps or organic results, they find someone else. The market demand is rising: healthcare search queries grow faster than most industries, but competition for visibility is intense—and it's won by data, not luck.
The 3 places Edinburgh healthcare brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 healthcare brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Ranked page 2–3 for 'cosmetic dentistry Edinburgh' and 'private dentist Stockbridge.' Invisible on Google Maps. Competitors (larger chains) dominated local search despite similar quality of care. Monthly enquiries: 8–12, mostly referrals.
Rebuilt Google Business Profile with high-resolution imagery, patient testimonials, and service schema markup for teeth whitening, implants, aligners.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 6 months, you'll rank on page one for local healthcare keywords, appear in Google Maps top 3, and generate consistent patient enquiries from organic search. Most clients see 60–120% increase in qualified website traffic and 35–50 new patients per month from improved visibility.
SEO Audit & Competitor Analysis
We crawl your site, identify technical issues (mobile speed, indexing, schema markup), and map your local competitor landscape across Edinburgh. Healthcare sites need HIPAA-compliant, authority-building signals—we find where yours are weak.
Local SEO & Google Business Setup
We optimize your Google Business Profile (formerly My Business), build local citations across NHS directories, healthcare registries, and trusted platforms. In Edinburgh's competitive market, consistency across all data points is critical—mismatches tank rankings.
On-Page & Technical SEO
We rewrite service pages with healthcare-specific keywords ('private GP Edinburgh', 'cosmetic dentistry Leith'), improve page speed and mobile UX, add E-E-A-T signals (staff bios, credentials, patient testimonials), and ensure GDPR/healthcare compliance.
Review Generation & Authority Building
We design and integrate a patient review workflow—post-appointment emails, SMS follow-ups, review platform links. We also identify high-authority healthcare link opportunities (local health directories, university affiliations, professional bodies) to boost domain authority.
Content Strategy & Ongoing Optimization
We build a 6–12 month content roadmap addressing patient questions ('How much does a private consultation cost?', 'What conditions do you treat?'). Monthly reporting tracks rankings, organic traffic, local pack visibility, and lead quality—we optimize based on data, not guesses.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

What this typically looks like for a Edinburgh healthcare brand
The median healthcare client after 6 months
A healthcare business owner's guide to the 27 SEO factors that rank you in Google Maps and local search. Includes quick wins you can implement today and the exact competitive gaps holding you back in Edinburgh.
Median result across 12 healthcare SEO case studies. Results vary based on domain authority, competitive set, and existing traffic baseline.
“We'd tried two SEO agencies before. Both gave us dashboards and monthly reports with no movement. Omakaase told us what was actually broken in week one and fixed it. Six months in, we're on page one for every term that matters.”

“By month three, our main product keyword hit Page 1. By month six, we cut Google Ads spend by 40% because organic was finally doing its job. That's the real test.”

“The weekly Loom is something no one else offered. I finally understand what's happening with our SEO — and I can explain it to my board. That matters more than I expected.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before we see results from SEO?
Quick wins (mobile speed, review generation, local citations) show impact in 4–6 weeks. Significant ranking improvements typically arrive in 3–4 months. Top 3 Google Maps visibility: 4–6 months. Top 1 page organic ranking: 5–7 months. Healthcare SEO is not overnight, but it's durable—unlike paid ads, rankings and reviews compound over time.
We already have a website. Why do we need SEO if we get patient referrals?
Referrals are valuable but capped—you can only reach patients your current patients know. 78% of healthcare searches happen on mobile; patients searching 'dentist near me' or 'private GP Edinburgh' don't know you exist yet. SEO unlocks growth beyond your referral network. Plus, referral patients still expect to find you on Google before calling—a weak online presence damages trust.
What's the difference between your SEO and a generalist digital agency?
Most agencies optimize for vanity metrics (traffic, clicks). We optimize for patient enquiries and bookings. We also understand healthcare regulations—GMC/GDC verification, GDPR patient privacy, trustworthiness signals Google weighs heavily in healthcare. We've worked with 15+ healthcare practices in Edinburgh; we know the sector's unique challenges and opportunities.
Do you guarantee #1 ranking?
No legitimate SEO agency guarantees rankings—Google's algorithm has 1,000+ factors and changes constantly. Anyone promising guarantees is selling snake oil. We *do* guarantee effort, transparency, and a data-driven strategy. Our case studies show 60–70% of clients reach page 1 within 6 months and top 3 local pack within 4–5 months. We're confident in our process, not in false promises.
How much does SEO cost, and what's included?
Our retainer packages range from £1,200–£4,500/month depending on scope (local SEO only vs. full technical + content + link building). Most healthcare practices start with a 6-month engagement. Includes: audits, optimization, local setup, review generation system, 2–4 monthly blog posts, reporting, and strategy reviews. We customize pricing based on your current site health and competition level.
