About the Client
A specialized online health clinic providing telehealth services and expert medical content.
Goals: Their main objective was to establish trust and authority in the highly scrutinized YMYL (Your Money, Your Life) niche.
Starting Point: With a low DA of 20, their expert content was buried in search results, and they lacked the trust signals Google requires.
The Challenge: Earning Trust in a High-Stakes Niche
The healthcare industry demands the highest level of trust and authority. The client's primary challenges were:
- Overcoming Google's stringent E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) requirements.
- Competing against established health organizations and medical institutions with naturally high authority.
- Building a backlink profile that signaled credibility and expertise to both users and search engines.

Targeted Outreach

Emphasis on Quality
Every link was vetted for topical relevance and site authority. We prioritized placements that would enhance their E-A-T signals.
