Over the past several weeks, our team has conducted a thorough investigation of the best fertility clinic-focused SEO agencies to create a list of the top eight choices. Each agency has a slightly different specialty within the broader category of SEO, but the following is how we ranked them:
- SEO Knowledge of Campaign Managers (30%): We examined the staff of each agency to ensure the SEO expertise went beyond the executives. Each agency is ranked on a scale of 1 – 5 by the quality and expertise of their SEO campaign managers.
- Subject Matter Expertise (25%): On a scale of 1 – 5, this metric ranks the agency’s subject matter expertise for fertility clinics either internally or through reliance on external sources.
- Headquarters (10%): While not directly correlated to client success, generally agencies in larger cities have access to a greater talent pool.
- Year Founded (15%): Older agencies have demonstrated their ability to weather Google algorithm changes and continue successfully on the other side.
- Specialty (20%): Agencies specializing in SEO for fertility clinics were ranked higher on this list.
