The starting point
The domain was new: no visitors, no backlinks, a Domain Rating of 0 and no sign-ups arriving from search. Mental health falls under "Your Money or Your Life", where Google applies its strictest standards. More content alone would not have ranked.
What changed
Prove trust first
General software directories came first, followed by links from real healthcare websites.
Put experts behind the content
Certified specialists wrote the articles, and comparison listicles reached people choosing an app.
Make the base sound
Fast, technically clean pages, with extra attention on those closest to a sign-up.
How the work ran, step by step
List the product where buyers compare
G2 and Capterra came first, then directories made for healthcare software.
Earn health-sector links
Backlinks came from healthcare sites and health blogs. With the listings, these moved the domain from DR 0 to 25.
Pair specialists with SEO
Certified mental health professionals supplied the knowledge, while keyword research, structure and on-page work were handled alongside.
Reach buyers comparing apps
Listicles such as "Top 10 mental wellness apps" targeted searches made just before a decision.
Clear technical problems
Speed came first, then the remaining technical issues, so every page could be crawled and indexed.
Push the commercial pages hardest
On-page and advanced work focused on the pages visitors see before signing up.
The evidence
Ahrefs estimated monthly traffic over twelve months. It sits at zero to begin with, then climbs each month to reach 10K.
Organic traffic and Domain Rating verified in Ahrefs.
Lessons for health brands
- Establish who you are before chasing keywords. In health, the first listings and links do that job.
- Named, qualified authors are what let a young site compete with established publishers.
- A few relevant healthcare links beat many unrelated ones, without putting the domain at risk.
- Judge the work on sign-ups. That keeps attention on commercial pages as well as the blog.
