An Established Clinic With No Digital Channel
Brentwood Chiropractic Group launched as a brand-new multidisciplinary clinic on the Saanich Peninsula — a geographically tight market with several established chiropractic and wellness practices already present. The clinic opened with five practitioners offering chiropractic care, registered massage therapy, osteopathy, acupuncture, shockwave therapy, and athletic therapy.
The core problem: no digital channel. The clinic had no Google Ads history, no active SEO strategy, and limited visibility on Google Maps. In a market where most new patients start their search online — typing “chiropractor Brentwood Bay” or “RMT near me” before ever asking a friend — being invisible digitally meant missing the majority of available new patient demand.
Referrals are inherently unpredictable. When referring practitioners retire, move, or change habits, the pipeline dries up. The clinic needed a controllable, owned source of new patients that it could scale or adjust independent of anyone else’s behaviour.
The additional opportunity: Brentwood Bay is a growing community with relatively low paid search competition. An established clinic with strong reviews and a clear service offering had a meaningful advantage over newer competitors — it just needed the digital infrastructure to capture the demand already present in the market.

“SEO Medics has allowed me to bring my business to the next level. They simplify the confusion regarding Google advertising and the general expensive barrier to entry.”
Three Phases from Zero to #1
A structured campaign build designed to generate leads immediately while building long-term organic authority on the Peninsula.
Audit, Build & Launch
Full audit of the clinic’s existing Google presence — GBP completeness, review velocity, competitor positioning, and current keyword landscape on the Peninsula. Keyword research built around Brentwood Bay-specific searches: “chiropractor Brentwood Bay,” “RMT Brentwood,” “shockwave therapy Saanich,” “ICBC chiropractic Brentwood.” Ad groups structured separately for chiropractic, RMT, ICBC, and sports/injury. CCBC-compliant ad copy written from scratch. Call and form conversion tracking configured. Campaign live within one week.
Google Business Profile Overhaul & Review Strategy
In parallel with the paid campaign, a full Google Business Profile optimization was executed: complete service listing for all disciplines, high-quality photo uploads, Q&A pre-population, review request workflow, and weekly GMB posts linked to the clinic’s service pages. Within 60–90 days, Brentwood Chiropractic Group entered the Maps 3-Pack for primary Peninsula searches. Within the year, it held the #1 position.
Optimization, ICBC Expansion & Sustained Growth
Monthly bid adjustments, search term pruning, and ad copy rotation based on real conversion data. A dedicated ICBC campaign layer was added once the base campaign was optimized — targeting motor vehicle accident patients who are fully covered and highly motivated to book. Online inquiries grew 165% from campaign launch. New practitioners joined the roster as patient volume consistently outpaced capacity.
The Numbers That Ended Referral Dependence
Measured from campaign launch through the first 12 months of operation.
“Established clinic, 5+ years operating. Multidisciplinary clinic with 5 therapists — all now growing their patient base. Consistently 30–60 new patients per month from Google Ads alone. Business now breaks its own revenue record month over month.”
