Client Overview
Business: Thrive Wellness Clinic Location: Richmond, Indiana Industry: Holistic, Natural & Integrative Healthcare Services: Holistic care, natural medicine, walk-in services, DOT physicals
Thrive Wellness Clinic serves patients in Richmond and Wayne County who are actively searching for holistic and natural healthcare options — through Google, and increasingly through AI-powered search. While the clinic offered excellent services, their online visibility did not reflect their real-world value.
That’s where Instant SEO stepped in.
The Challenge
When Thrive Wellness Clinic came to us, they faced three major issues:
Website SEO Performance
- Overall SEO score: 76 (Low / Needs Improvement)
- On-page SEO issues
- Content gaps for local search terms
- Missed opportunities to target service-based keywords
Google Business Profile Rankings
- Ranking at Position #5 for key local searches
- Strong competition from nearby clinics
- Limited visibility in Google Maps results
No AI Search Presence
- Content wasn’t structured for AI-powered search tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity
- No clear entity signals for AI engines to understand what Thrive Wellness Clinic offers and where
- Missing entirely from AI-generated answers to questions like “best holistic clinic in Richmond Indiana”
Despite offering in-demand services, Thrive Wellness Clinic was being outranked by competitors with weaker offerings but stronger SEO — and was invisible to the growing number of patients using AI tools to find care.
Our Strategy
We took a local-first, AI-forward, data-driven approach, focusing on the website, Google Business Profile, and AI search visibility together.
Step 1: Full SEO & AI Visibility Audit
- Website technical SEO audit
- On-page optimization review
- Local keyword analysis
- Google Business Profile audit
- Competitor comparison
- AI search (GEO) readiness assessment
Step 2: Website Optimization We improved the site’s SEO health by:
- Optimizing page titles, meta descriptions, and headers
- Improving internal linking and content structure
- Enhancing local keyword relevance
- Fixing technical SEO issues
- Structuring content and schema so AI engines can accurately read and cite the clinic’s services

Step 3: Google Business Profile Optimization We optimized Thrive Wellness Clinic’s Google Business Profile for:
- Accurate categories and services
- Keyword-rich business descriptions
- Local relevance signals

Step 4: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) To position Thrive Wellness Clinic inside AI-generated answers, we:
- Structured service pages around the natural-language questions patients ask AI assistants (e.g., “where can I get a DOT physical in Richmond Indiana”)
- Reinforced consistent entity signals — name, location, services — across the site and web
- Built content clarity that makes it easy for AI crawlers to extract and summarize the clinic accurately
Step 5: Content Strategy & Ongoing Optimization To maintain and grow rankings across both traditional and AI search, we implemented:
- A monthly content strategy
- Service-focused content updates
- Local keyword targeting
- AI-readable content structuring
- Ongoing SEO refinements based on performance
SEO wasn’t treated as a one-time fix — it became an ongoing growth system built for how patients search today.
