SEO Case Study – Nonagon

Nonagon’s Rapid SEO Success

How Diqel’s SEO efforts skyrocketed Nonagon-Care.com into the spotlight of telehealth-device-related search engine inquiries with just seven blog posts within just three months

Nonagon is at the forefront of telehealth innovation, offering an FDA-cleared telehealth device and remote physical exam kit that enables users to connect with healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes. This technology facilitates nine clinical-grade physical exams, leveraging a device that syncs with users’ smartphones. 

As a young company new to the United States market, Nonagon faced the challenge of establishing a strong online presence to reach and educate its target audience.

Target Audience

We tailored our strategies to meet the needs of consumers and healthcare providers looking for telehealth solutions that require more than just video chat. Our strategies were specifically tailored to meet the needs of various groups, including:

  • Parents looking for a way to get an ear infection diagnosis from home
  • People concerned about Coronavirous’ silent threat, Silent Hypoxia
  • Businesses looking for an affordable and user-friendly remote patient monitoring solution  

Nonagon’s broad range of telehealth solutions provided a rich foundation for identifying high-intent keywords to begin testing and targeting our SEO optimization efforts.

Goals and Objectives

Our mission was clear: to catapult Nonagon to the top of Google’s rankings for keywords critical to those seeking telehealth solutions that it can solve.

By enhancing their online visibility, we aimed to not only attract more website traffic but also to position Nonagon as a thought leader in telehealth.
