Bodyfunction Clinic
Website, SEO and patient acquisition for a single-location Islington clinic
An Islington osteopathy and physiotherapy practice working from one location with five treatment rooms, competing for patients against larger local hospitals and franchises.
How the channel performed
What happened in search
Search is one channel into the practice, and this is how it performed. The website has very little backlink authority, so the structure, technical foundations and clinical content are doing work normally associated with much larger publishers. Note what this traffic is: overwhelmingly informational health content rather than local booking searches — the Islington location page itself took 73 clicks between April and July 2026.
