Chart of estimated monthly organic traffic for a medico-legal psychiatry practice, with the campaign start in January 2025

Medico-Legal Psychiatry Practice: From Invisible to 331 Top-10 Rankings

Client: Medico-legal psychiatry practice (anonymous)  |  Services: Content, technical SEO, link building, local SEO  |  Result: From almost no organic presence to 331 top-10 keywords, 215 of them in the top five

A psychiatry practice that provides medico-legal assessments and expert reports for legal matters partnered with Technical Content Links in January 2025. Its audience is lawyers, insurers and claimants looking for specialist assessments, which is a niche, high-trust market.

At a glance

  • Industry: Healthcare, medico-legal psychiatry
  • Engagement: White label SEO, from January 2025
  • Starting point (January 2025): close to zero organic traffic, and 7 keywords in Google’s top 10
  • Results: 331 top-10 keywords by October 2026 (215 in the top five); average organic traffic of 173 visits a month in 2026, peaking at 341

The challenge

The practice had almost no organic visibility. It ranked for only a handful of terms, and referrals depended entirely on existing relationships. The site’s URL structure also needed work before it could rank for the services it offered.

Our approach

Onboarding and strategy. Keyword research and mapping, a full manual technical audit, a content audit and a documented strategy.

The big-ticket items in the first months:

  • URL slug changes with 301 redirects, so key pages had clear, descriptive URLs
  • New homepage content
  • Dedicated service pages for medico-legal assessments, complex independent medical assessments and psychiatry expert witness work
  • Google Business Profile optimisation
  • A schema markup audit, a Search Console audit for page indexing issues, and an XML sitemap clean-up

Then consistency. Each month the campaign added guest post links, directory links and new content, guided by a blog content calendar and six-monthly campaign reviews.

The results

  • Rankings: keywords in Google’s top 10 grew from 7 to 331 by October 2026, including 215 in the top five. Total ranking keywords grew to 813.
  • Traffic: organic traffic rose from close to zero in early 2025 to an average of 173 visits a month in 2026, with a peak of 341.

For a specialist practice whose clients are law firms and insurers, a few hundred highly targeted visits a month is a meaningful new source of referrals.

Traffic and ranking figures are estimates from SE Ranking (Australian search database). Monthly estimates vary, so yearly averages are used where possible.

What this means for agencies

Professional services clients with no existing organic presence can build one quickly when the work targets exactly what their referrers search for. We deliver it white label, so you can offer it under your brand.
