A behavioral health clinic
Local care and familiar names.
Knox Behavioral Health is a Knoxville, Tennessee clinic covering therapy and medication management. Both the main website and individual clinician pages appeared in its search presence.
The opportunity was to support two common journeys: a local search for behavioral health and a search for a practitioner someone already knew by name.

02 The challenge
Make the clinic and its clinicians easier to recognize.
Local service searches and referral-led name searches need different destinations. The website needed to make both paths straightforward.
State the service and location plainly
Give Knoxville searchers a direct explanation of what the clinic offers.
Provide a destination for clinician searches
Help someone with a practitioner’s name find the relevant person on the clinic’s website.
Read the audience accurately
Recognize the contribution of familiar-name searches when describing the website’s growth.
03 Our SEO approach
Connect the local service with the people providing it.
We focused the search presentation on the clinic’s location and added clearer routes to individual clinicians.
Clarify the main page title
Local on-page SEOWe focused the title on “Behavioral Health Services in Knoxville, TN,” making the service and city clear in the page’s search presentation.
Give clinicians individual pages
Clinician profilesWe added clinician pages so people searching for a practitioner could find relevant information directly on the clinic’s website.
Distinguish the two routes into the site
Ranking reviewThe results show the homepage for a Knoxville behavioral-health search and a clinician page for a name search. We keep those different kinds of visibility clear in the reporting.
