Optometrist SEO Case Study: +64% Organic Traffic in 90 Days

Duration: September–November (2023)

Project Management: Md Raihan Islam

Ranking a local business in a competitive market like New Jersey is not easy. But by combining optometrist SEO with the right technical and local SEO strategy, we took Bergen Optometry from low visibility to a dominant position in the Google Maps Local Pack. Here is the complete breakdown of how SEO Service Care achieved a 67% increase in organic traffic and an 80% increase in calls within just 90 days.

Client Overview

Bergen Optometry is a full service optometry practice located at 348 Main St, Hackensack, NJ, USA. The clinic provides comprehensive eye exams, glasses, contact lenses, dry eye treatments including IPL, and emergency eye care, with a focus on personalized, technology driven vision care for patients of all ages. 

Despite being a well established clinic with a strong base of satisfied patients, Bergen Optometry once struggled to achieve consistent online visibility.

Their main challenges included:

Key Issues Identified in Audit:

  • No Local Presence: Not ranking in the Top 3 of Google Maps for “Eye Doctor” or “Optometrist”.
  • Declining Traffic: Organic traffic was stuck at ~250 and dropping.
  • Keywords: Organic traffic was stuck at ~169 and also dropping.
  • Technical Errors: Mobile page speed score was poor (48/100), affecting user experience.
  • Weak Authority: Low Domain Rating (DR 3.4) and a weak backlink profile compared to competitors.

Problems Identified (Before Working with Us)

When Bergen Optometry reached out to SEO SERVICE CARE, the key SEO problems were:

  • Google Maps:

    The practice was barely showing up in local searches like “optometrist Hackensack NJ” or “eye doctor near me”

  • Organic Ranking:

    None of their target keywords were in the Top 10 on Google

  • Website:

    Missing on-page optimizations (H1s, Meta, Schema), slow Core Web Vitals

  • Google Business Profile:

    Not fully optimized with services, images, or location authority

  • Backlink Profile:

    Weak, mostly from irrelevant and low-authority domains
