About the Client

K 7 Physiotherapy

A Rugby-based physiotherapy clinic offering in-clinic and home-visit services across Rugby and Warwickshire. Specialising in musculoskeletal treatment, sports injuries, neurological physiotherapy, and personalised rehabilitation — serving patients who need expert care either at the clinic or in the comfort of their own home.

The Challenge

A great clinic that nobody could find online

When K 7 Physiotherapy approached Prakan Digital Solutions, they had a strong clinical team and a genuine passion for patient care — but almost no digital presence to show for it. The business was essentially invisible online, losing potential patients to competitors every single day.

1

No visibility for home visit searches in Rugby

Despite offering a highly sought-after home visit physiotherapy service, K7 was nowhere to be found in search results — a high-value, differentiating service completely invisible to local patients.

2

Domain Authority of 2 with a Spam Score of 15

Almost no authoritative backlinks and a dangerously high spam score were actively suppressing rankings across all keywords — a major technical barrier before any growth could happen.

3

Google Business Profile under-optimised

The clinic wasn’t appearing in local map pack results for high-intent, nearby searches — missing the most visible real estate in local Google results entirely.

4

No location-specific landing pages

Without dedicated location pages, the site couldn’t rank for area-specific searches across Rugby and Warwickshire — severely limiting the clinic’s local footprint.

5

No analytics or tracking infrastructure

GA4 and GTM were absent or misconfigured. There was no visibility into which pages were performing, where traffic was coming from, or what users were doing on site.

Our Approach

A full-stack SEO and digital marketing strategy

Prakan Digital Solutions conducted a full audit of the website and local search presence, and built a comprehensive strategy from the ground up. Every activity was chosen to directly address the clinic’s core challenge: being found by local patients actively searching for physiotherapy services in Rugby.

Keyword research

We began with in-depth keyword research to identify the highest-value, lowest-competition search terms relevant to physiotherapy in Rugby and surrounding Warwickshire. This formed the foundation of every content and on-page decision that followed.

Targeting home visits in Rugby

One of K7’s biggest differentiators — home visit physiotherapy — was completely unranked. We built a dedicated content and on-page strategy specifically targeting “physiotherapy home visit Rugby” and related terms. Today, K 7 Physiotherapy is found in search results for these high-intent queries.

On-page SEO activities

We systematically optimised every key page on the website — rewriting title tags, meta descriptions, heading structures, internal linking, image alt text, and implementing schema markup to improve both relevance and crawlability.

Content optimisation

Existing page content was rewritten with a patient-first approach, using targeted keywords naturally and structuring information to match what local searchers are actually looking for.

Location page creation for better ranking

To capture area-specific searches across Rugby and Warwickshire, we created dedicated location landing pages. These pages now rank for searches tied to specific towns and neighbourhoods, significantly broadening K7’s local footprint.

Local business optimisation (GMB)

We fully optimised K 7 Physiotherapy’s Google Business Profile — adding services, uploading photos, setting up Q&As, and maintaining regular posts. This directly contributed to improved map pack visibility for local searches.

Off-page activities & authority building

We built a clean, relevant backlink profile through strategic outreach and placements on healthcare directories and local business listings. This was the primary driver behind taking the Domain Authority from 2 to 14.

Spam score reduction

We identified and disavowed toxic and spammy backlinks that were dragging down the site’s credibility. The spam score dropped from 15 — a high-risk level — down to 4, a healthy low-risk level.

Brand awareness through social media

We created and published regular branded social media posts to build awareness of K 7 Physiotherapy among Rugby residents, supporting both direct traffic and brand search growth.

GA4 & GTM tracking setup

Before our engagement, there was no reliable analytics in place. We implemented Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager from scratch, giving the client full visibility into traffic sources, user behaviour, and conversion activity.

GSC issues fixed

A thorough Google Search Console audit revealed multiple crawl errors, indexation issues, and mobile usability flags. Every issue was identified, prioritised, and resolved — giving the site a clean technical foundation for growth.

The results

Higher authority, growing traffic, and real local visibility

Prakan Digital Solutions conducted a full audit of the website and local search presence, and built a comprehensive strategy from the ground up. Every activity was chosen to directly address the clinic’s core challenge: being found by local patients actively searching for physiotherapy services in Rugby.
