6,533 Keywords in Google’s Top 3 in 12 Months: Systematic SEO for a Medical Education Project
Services
Challenge
Smakmedu is an educational project offering medical courses and professional development for healthcare specialists. At the start, visibility in Google was limited, some pages were not ranking, there was no SEO structure for training directions, and informational search demand was covered poorly. The niche is competitive — medical education projects compete with aggregators and major advertisers.
Goal
Bring the site to the top for key educational queries, increase organic traffic, cover searches by specialization, and build a stable flow of SEO leads. Win leading organic positions without dependence on paid advertising.
Results
