MC Behavioural Services needed a stronger technical foundation and better visibility for local, service-led searches. Important keywords were not ranking, the mobile experience was slow and the site audit identified room for technical improvement.

The goal was to connect the website with people actively searching for behavioural and autism-related services in Ottawa, Barrhaven and Nepean.

Key challenges

High-value local keywords were not ranked
Desktop performance score was 69
Mobile performance score was 57
