Client overview

DHI International (dhiinternational.com) is a globally recognised hair restoration brand operating in a highly competitive healthcare industry. The objective of this engagement was to strengthen organic search visibility, improve technical SEO health and increase qualified website traffic through sustainable, long-term optimisation.

At the start of the project, the website faced multiple technical SEO challenges, including indexing inefficiencies, structural issues and content gaps that limited search engine performance. Despite strong brand recognition, these limitations restricted the website’s ability to fully capture high-intent organic demand.

A structured SEO approach was implemented to improve website health, enhance search visibility and support consistent growth across competitive keywords in the hair transplant and aesthetic healthcare space.

  • Focus: organic growth and lead generation
  • Platform: WordPress
  • Business type: healthcare
  • Client industry: hair transplant and hair restoration
  • Services provided: SEO, technical SEO, on-page optimisation

The challenge: technical and visibility issues holding back organic performance

DHI International’s website was encountering several challenges that affected organic performance and discoverability.

Technical SEO issues

Critical errors related to sitemap structure, mixed content and broken internal links affected crawlability and indexing.

High SEO warnings

Thousands of SEO warnings, including missing image alt attributes and unoptimised resources, weakened overall website health.

Inconsistent keyword visibility

A large number of keywords were ranking beyond page two, limiting organic traffic potential.

Underutilised organic demand

Despite strong brand searches, non-branded and service-based keywords were not performing to their full potential.

Trust and authority signals

Domain authority and backlink quality needed improvement to compete in a crowded healthcare search landscape.

Together, these issues limited the website’s ability to scale organic traffic and conversions.

The solution: a phased SEO framework

We implemented a structured, phased SEO framework to address both foundational issues and long-term growth opportunities.

  • Resolved technical SEO errors, reducing critical issues to zero and significantly lowering overall warnings
  • Corrected sitemap structure, internal linking and crawl directives to improve indexing efficiency
  • Implemented on-page optimisations, including better heading hierarchy, image optimisation and content structure
  • Focused the keyword strategy on moving high-intent terms from lower positions into page-one visibility
  • Strengthened trust signals through a cleaner backlink profile and improved domain authority metrics

This approach ensured stability first, followed by scalable organic growth. Learn more about our healthcare SEO work.

I have been working with Digital Markitors for the last 5 years. Before this I have worked with various SEO agencies for my business but I always ended up wasting my time and money.
