Red Rock Veterinary Health
A Fear Free® certified vet in Colorado Springs was losing new clients before they ever called, because when pet owners searched for a vet in the city, the practice was nowhere on the first page. I rebuilt their site and their local search presence from the ground up. In 16 months they went from 236 to more than 1,600 organic ranking keywords and now rank #1 on Google for veterinarian colorado springs.
Results: grew from 236 to more than 1,600 organic ranking keywords in 16 months, ranks #1 on Google for veterinarian colorado springs, and is cited as a source in Google's AI Overviews for more than 240 searches.

Where they were stuck.
Red Rock is a Fear Free® certified practice in Colorado Springs, exactly the kind of vet pet owners want. The problem was that almost nobody could find them. Their old Squarespace site ranked for about 236 keywords, and nearly all of it was their own brand name and long tail noise, not the searches that bring in new patients. Type veterinarian colorado springs, vet clinic colorado springs, or animal hospital colorado springs into Google and Red Rock did not appear anywhere a pet owner would actually look. Every one of those searches, thousands of them a month, was going to a generic animal hospital instead. In local search, if you are not on the first page you effectively do not exist, and that was quietly costing Red Rock new clients every single day.
What we built.
I rebuilt the site from scratch and rebranded it around their Fear Free® approach, the thing that actually sets them apart. Every service got its own page with clear, upfront pricing, and I engineered the local SEO to win Colorado Springs: local business schema, content written around the exact searches pet owners run, and pages built to load fast and read well on a phone. The goal was simple. When someone in Colorado Springs searches for a vet, Red Rock should be the practice they find first, and the site should make it obvious why they are the one to call.
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 16 months since launch, organic ranking keywords grew from 236 to more than 1,600. The site now ranks #1 on Google for 'veterinarian colorado springs' (590 vol), 'vets in colorado springs' (480 vol), and 'vet colorado springs' (480 vol), and holds the top 3 for 'colorado springs vet' (#2, 390 vol), 'veterinary clinic colorado springs' (#2, 320 vol), 'animal clinic colorado springs' (#3, 480 vol), and more. Its pet health guides rank nationally too: the dog chocolate guide sits at #4 for 'symptoms of chocolate ingestion in dogs' (8,100 vol), and Google's AI Overviews cite the site as a source for more than 240 searches. US search impressions grew 180% year over year, and the site now drives a steady stream of new patient inquiries through the contact form.
