Case Study 1
Mint Dental, Anchorage, Alaska
Project: Content Audit, SEO Optimisation, and Long-Term Content Strategy.
Client Type: Full-service dental practice with onsite lab.
Visit: Mint Dental, Anchorage
- THE CHALLENGE
Mint Dental is a well-established, full-service Anchorage practice with its own on-site lab. Although the practice had a strong local presence, the website content was inconsistent, thin in areas, and suffering from outdated SEO tactics.
Key issues identified:
- Minimal patient-facing information on treatment pages
- Keyword stuffing (especially overuse of the word “Anchorage”)
- Missing or broken content pathways
- No internal linking structure
- Blog content was basic, repetitive, and not aligned with search intent
- Overall lack of clarity and optimisation, limiting local visibility
Mint Dental initially approached me to perform a full audit and help realign the site’s content with patient behaviour and modern SEO best practice.
- My Approach
The project began with a full content and SEO audit across all treatment, service, and blog pages. I focused on identifying gaps, weaknesses, and opportunities, while also mapping how patients typically search for and navigate dental information.
From there, I created a structured optimisation and content plan aimed at improving:
- Local search performance
- Clarity and patient trust
- On-site pathways and internal linking
- Topical relevance and authority
- WHAT I DELIVERED
Phase 1 – Core Fixes and Alignment
- Rewrote and aligned treatment and service pages for clarity, trust-building, and improved SEO
- Removed keyword stuffing and rebalanced local optimisation
- Added internal linking across the site, which had previously been missing
- Added external authoritative links to strengthen credibility
- Reworked calls to action to be clearer, more helpful, and more consistent
Phase 2 – Content Expansion and Growth
-
Created a blogging plan built around strategic key phrases and local search intent.
-
Delivered high-quality, patient-friendly blog content: (4 blogs per month for first 6 months and 2 blogs per month on an ongoing basis thereafter)
-
Ensured every piece was structured to educate patients, answer key questions, and support search rankings
- THE RESULTS
Within weeks, Mint Dental’s website had a stronger content foundation, clearer pathways, and more informative treatment pages. Blog content shifted from generic and keyword-stuffed to educational, patient-centred articles that build trust and support local search visibility.
Before:
- Thin treatment pages with little patient guidance
- No internal links
- Blog content lacking depth and strategy
After:
- Clear, well-structured pages built around patient behaviour
- Internal linking throughout the site
- A strategic, ongoing blog programme aligned with search intent
- Improved clarity, consistency, and authority across the site
Most importantly, the content overhaul helped support long-term client retention and a more sustainable marketing strategy.
- CLIENT FEEDBACK
“Wow! Thank you for doing such a great job with the content. I do think we should do the blog as well, and we can start on that next month if that works for you?”
