The problem

Where they were stuck

When a pet is in trouble, owners don't browse — they search, and they go to whoever shows up first and closest. International Animal Clinic Urgent Care had the care; what it didn't have was visibility at that exact moment.

In local search and on the map, the clinic was getting lost to competitors. Every search it didn't win was an urgent visit — and a new client relationship — going somewhere else.

What we did

The work

We focused on the layer that drives urgent-care demand: local search. That meant a thoroughly optimized Google Business Profile — categories, services, hours, photos, and posts — backed by consistent local citations and on-page work for the clinic's core terms.

Then we tightened the review and local signals that tell Google this is the right, trusted result for nearby searches — the work that moves the map pack, not just the website.

The result

What changed

In a single month, the results showed up where it counts: a 298.9% increase in phone calls — 1,460 calls — and a 454.7% increase in direction requests, at 771. The clinic also ranked #1 for its core search terms.

Those are the actions that precede an urgent visit: a call, or someone tapping directions to drive over. More of both, fast, is exactly what an urgent care needs.
