Did you know you can grow your local business by over 2x in a year through SEO?
Before you get skeptical, that's not growth as in website traffic or other vanity metrics that some agencies in Egypt set as KPIs, but actual growth in bookings and revenue. You're likely leaving A LOT of money on the table if you haven't explored the potential of SEO and Google Ads for your local business.
In this article, I'll guide you through a local SEO case study for a dentist in Sheikh Zayed City who achieved remarkable results:
The most compelling aspect is the sustainability of these results. These gains can endure for months and even years, even after ceasing active SEO efforts. Imagine the substantial ROI potential…
Imagine getting all this for a monthly fee of 16,000 EGP while most agencies charge a minimum of 40,000 EGP for a service with a similar quality in 2025.
The 3 main elements of a successful Local SEO strategy are the Google Business Profile, the website, and the citations/backlinks which are the linked mentions of the business on other websites or directories. Let's expand each one of them.
When we first audited our client's Google Business Profile (GBP), we were pleasantly surprised. The dental practice had already implemented many GBP best practices:
This solid foundation on the GBP front meant we could focus our efforts where they'd make the most impact: the website optimization and link-building strategy. While we did make minor tweaks to their GBP like:
The real needle-moving results came from our work on their website architecture and local citation building, which I'll detail in the next sections. This is quite uncommon in our experience - many local businesses in Egypt neglect their GBP in addition to overlooking the crucial technical aspects of their website and citation profile that can truly amplify their local search presence.
This is where we really moved the needle. While the client's Google Business Profile was well-optimized, their website was missing several crucial elements that could boost their local search presence. Here's what we implemented:
We started with the basics, but with a local twist that made all the difference:
Instead of just publishing generic dental articles, we created a hyper-local content strategy:
Pro tip: We found that Arabic articles about "teeth whitening" brought in significant traffic from Gulf countries, creating an unexpected but valuable patient segment, especially in the Summer season.
We completely revamped their service pages with both SEO and conversion rate optimization in mind:
Some technical implementations that proved particularly effective:
Given that 90.8% of our client's traffic came from mobile devices, we:
The results? The website started ranking for 59 keywords on Google's first page within 7 months, up from zero when we started. But the real magic happened when we combined this with our backlink-building strategy, which proved to be the final piece of the puzzle...
This is where most local SEO campaigns in Egypt fall short. While many agencies focus solely on Google Business Profile optimization, we knew that a strong backlink and citation profile would give our client the edge over competitors. Here's our exact process:
We leveraged our PR connections to secure features in prominent Egyptian news outlets:
To boost domain authority and create trust signals, we:
Pro tip: We found that international coverage, while not directly impacting local rankings, significantly improved the overall domain authority which boosted search performance.
We didn't just spam directories - we carefully selected and optimized listings on:
The key here was maintaining 100% consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information across all citations.
After implementing this comprehensive link building strategy:
