Thrive Wellness Clinic serves patients in Richmond and Wayne County who are actively searching for holistic and natural healthcare options. While the clinic offered excellent services, their online visibility did not reflect their real-world value.

That’s where Instant SEO stepped in.

2️⃣ Google Business Profile Rankings

  • Ranking at Position #5 for key local searches

  • Strong competition from nearby clinics

  • Limited visibility in Google Maps results

Despite offering in-demand services, Thrive Wellness Clinic was being outranked by competitors with weaker offerings but stronger SEO.
