Dr. Omer Sheriff is a highly trusted Trauma Surgeon, Joint Replacement Surgeon, and Sports & Spine Specialist based in Kolathur, Chennai. The goal of our digital strategy was to position his practice as a top online destination for patients seeking expert orthopedic care across North and Central Chennai.

🟧 Challenges:

• Poor visibility for local searches like “best orthopedic surgeon in Kolathur” or “sports injury doctor near me”
• Low organic traffic from high-intent orthopedic queries
• Limited content on location-specific treatments (e.g., joint pain, fractures, spine surgery)
• Underutilized mobile experience and conversion tools

🟩 Understanding the Orthopedic Landscape in Chennai:

We conducted deep market and keyword research on:

• Local patient behavior around search terms like “knee replacement in Chennai,” “orthopedic trauma hospital near Kolathur,” and “best doctor for back pain”
• Competitive benchmarking against top platforms (e.g., Practo, Apollo, Kauvery, Lybrate)
• Analysis of orthopedic needs in urban Chennai — particularly among young adults, athletes, and the elderly
• Geo-targeted search intent for neighborhoods like Villivakkam, Perambur, Anna Nagar, and Madhavaram

This helped us craft a location-first, condition-specific content plan to drive visibility and patient engagement.
