OVERVIEW

East Bay Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery needed a comprehensive website audit and redesign strategy to strengthen their digital presence. As their SBDC consultant, I assessed SEO visibility, user experience, HIPAA compliance, and content structure, delivering a prioritized action plan to increase patient inquiries and consultations.

WHAT I DID

Conducted a full technical SEO and UX audit using Screaming Frog, Google PageSpeed Insights, and Google Analytics — identifying 20+ critical issues including slow load speeds, missing metadata, and poor mobile responsiveness. Built a content inventory of all service pages, flagging high-value treatments for prioritized optimization. Designed a compliance and accessibility checklist covering HIPAA, ADA, and WCAG standards, then delivered findings through an interactive audit dashboard structured by impact level — High, Medium, and Low priority.

OUTCOMES

  • Identified 20+ critical SEO & technical issues, including slow load speeds and missing metadata.

  • Found that 60% of site traffic came via mobile, but responsiveness scored poorly, leading to a mobile-first redesign approach.

  • Highlighted underperforming high-value service pages, creating a targeted content optimization roadmap.

  • Delivered a HIPAA compliance framework that became the foundation of the new site build.

 

KEY LEARNINGS

  • Medical practice audits require compliance as a core pillar — not an afterthought — alongside standard SEO and UX

  • Content strategy should prioritize high-value treatments patients actively search for, not equal weight across all pages

  • Interactive audit reports make technical findings actionable for non-technical stakeholders like physicians and administrators
