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
