Starting Point
NashBio is a Nashville-based biotechnology firm focused on real-world evidence, synthetic control arms, and genomic research. Before we started, the site had almost no organic presence at all.
Near-zero organic presence before engagement
No structured blog or content strategy
Low domain authority in a trust-heavy niche
No internal linking architecture in place
Both referring domains and organic traffic were near-zero before the engagement. The site had existed for years but Google had no reason to rank it.
The Goal
Build organic visibility from zero in a competitive YMYL health niche
Rank #1 for healthcare comparison and biotech keywords in the US
Establish domain authority and earn Google AI Overview citations
Drive consistent organic traffic to support business development
