The Challenge: Good Traffic, But Not the Right Traffic
When Lauren Becker, founder of Balance Acupuncture, reached out, her website was already doing some things well.
She had built strong educational content, her blog was attracting traffic, and her site already had visibility in search. But there was one major issue:
Most of that traffic wasn’t turning into patients.
The keywords bringing people to the site were often broad educational searches, visitors outside her area, or professionals looking for information—not local people ready to book acupuncture care.
Lauren knew she had reached the edge of what she could do on her own.
“Feeling like I reached a stopping point in my skills to optimize my website... SEO, branding, etc.”
She wanted to keep the calming feel of her website while making it more strategic, more polished, and more effective at attracting the right clients.
“I love its simplicity- I'm a fan of keeping things as basic and patient-friendly as possible. I love that it feels calming. I want it to feel like you're stepping into my clinic, and there's a sense of belonging.”
The Goal: Better Design, Better UX, Better Local Visibility
Lauren booked a Website Refresh Intensive to focus on:
Improving SEO for local client searches
Refining branding and design
Making services easier to understand
Simplifying navigation
Highlighting women’s health and fertility services
Turning search traffic into real bookings

The Results: Less Random Traffic, More Qualified Leads
One of the biggest wins from this project wasn’t just rankings—it was relevance.
While total traffic dipped slightly, the traffic coming in became far more valuable because it aligned with the services Lauren wanted to grow.
Outcomes Included:
64% of all traffic now comes from organic search
18 keywords ranking in the Top 3 (9 local keywords)
23 keywords ranking in the Top 10
High-value local keywords moved up in search position
Increased confidence and stronger alignment with ideal clients
Raised prices around the same time as the redesign
Lauren shared:
“I've been wanting to tighten up my website design, branding, and SEO for years but it felt SO overwhelming. I came across Samantha on a podcast- and immediately reached out! I'm so glad I did. She was so easy to work with and I learned a ton from her guides, questionnaires, and tutorials. She helped optimize my website so that it would reach out my ideal audience (women's health and fertility), she nailed my aesthetics and I'm so pleased with my website redesign!! Thank you Samantha!”
