Website redesign: Vision Correction Consultants launches new website and rank on Google’s first page in less than a week
What do you do when bigger and better-funded players enter your marketplace? Well, you can join them or compete against them. And, there is the third way: join them whilst maintaining some independence.
That was the situation that three consultant ophthalmologists found themselves in early this year when Optegra, a new entrant into the field of private ophthalmology acquired eye hospitals in Surrey, Birmingham, Solent, Manchester, and Yorkshire. The three consultants wanted to retain some independence, but they did not have enough enquiries.
Because of a previous successful relationship the three ophthalmologists approached us a few months after Optegra acquired the Yorkshire Eye Hospital. Our previous relationship was with the Yorkshire Eye Hospital who’s website we designed and e-marketing we managed, before they were acquired by Optegra.
Mr. Oliver Backhouse, Mr. James Ball, and Mr. Shafiq Rehman call their partnership Vision Correction Consultants. They commissioned us to design a website that would highlight their particular expertise in the field of refractive lens exchange. Refractive lens exchange (or RLE) is the process that involves surgically implanting an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) into the eye to correct refractive errors such as shortsightedness, longsightedness, and astigmatism. Also, the lenses can correct for presbyopia and can help people avoid developing cataracts in the future.
To add to the challenge, RLE is an alternative to laser eye surgery, which is considerably more well known and popular, especially on the internet.
Vision Correction Consultants needed a distinct brand, a specific unique sales proposition, and a website that presented their market positioning in a credible and professional way to the over 45 market in the Leeds, Yorkshire area. They needed a positioning that is as professional and as credible as the considerably better-funded and larger competitors in the market place.
So, we wrote, designed, coded and search engine optimised the Vision Correction Consultant’s website at www.beyondlasik.co.uk. The new site launched on the 15th of June, 2011.
Five days later on June 20th, we conducted a Google search for a four non-branded key phrases that we targeted with the website. We’re very happy to say that the early results (and these are VERY early as it usually takes about 3 months to see consistent results) look very promising.
A search on Google revealed these results on June 20, 2011, 5 days after the site launched:
- RLE leeds shows the website as a 1st page; No. 6 result
- refractive lens exchange leeds shows the website as a 1st page; No. 5 result
- IOL leeds leeds shows the website as a 1st page; No. 9 result
- intraocular lens leeds shows website as 1st page; No. 6 result
As many of you likely know, Google displays search results based on a secret algorithm that calculates the relevance of on-site factors (e.g. PageTitles, Page headings, Page copy, number of pages on site, internal linking, keywords in URLs) and off-site factors (external linking, domain authority, domain history) to the search term.
With the above in mind, results such as these are very promising one week after the site goes live. We also noticed some of their direct competitors do not rank on the first page for these targeted terms (unpaid) and that the site is already beating considerably longer established websites and domain names.

During your first outing in the spring, re-seal all your seams with a liberal amount of
sealer. Purchase or borrow a book about harmful plants or carry out some research on
the Net. Although you might know your site, it is still easy
to get lost, as many places in the woods look similar.
They are sturdy, they are reliable, and they’re multi-purposed.
That is why these are wild about shopping, dressing and make-up.
I think it really is because it can be the antithesis of ruggedness.

Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce a good

anything done.

The great thing about a skip is that unlike a dumpster that is emptied into a dump truck on site a
skip is loaded on to a special lorry, taken away and
replace with a new skip or no skip at all.
