The Challenge
Where they were stuck.
Red Rock Veterinary Health, a Fear Free® certified practice in Colorado Springs, had a basic Squarespace site that wasn't pulling its weight. They ranked for around 236 keywords (almost entirely brand searches and long-tail noise) but were missing on every commercial-intent term that drives new patients: 'veterinarian colorado springs,' 'vet clinic colorado springs,' 'animal hospital colorado springs.' The site also failed to communicate their differentiated fear-free approach to pet owners researching local vets, which meant losing prospects to generic animal hospitals before they ever heard the practice's name.
Our Approach
What we built.
We rebuilt the site from scratch on Next.js 15 with full rebranding, six dedicated service pages with transparent pricing, and a local SEO architecture engineered to dominate Colorado Springs search. Every page got semantic HTML, local business schema, location-specific copy, and intent-matched content for the searches pet owners actually run. Sanity CMS lets the practice publish blog content and update services without engineering. Fear Free® branding runs throughout, and we hit 94/100 PageSpeed plus WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, both of which feed directly into local search rankings.
Search Performance
The data behind the rankings.
Rebuilt the site's local SEO foundation from the ground up: semantic HTML, local business schema, location-specific service pages, and intent-matched content. In 10 months since launch, organic ranking keywords grew from 236 to 461 (+95%). The site now holds first-page Google rankings for every major non-brand vet term in Colorado Springs: 'veterinarian colorado springs' (#7, 720 vol), 'vet clinic colorado springs' (#7, 1,300 vol), 'animal hospital of colorado springs' (#7, 1,300 vol), 'vets in colorado springs' (#7, 720 vol), 'animal hospitals colorado springs' (#5, 480 vol), and seven more, combining for 6,000+ monthly searches captured on page one. US search impressions grew 180% year-over-year, and the site now drives a steady stream of new-patient inquiries through the contact form.
