About Orthodontics Sydney Wide

Orthodontics Sydney Wide (OSW) is a long-standing specialist orthodontic practice with over 50 years of experience serving patients across Greater Sydney. Operating out of three key locations — Hurstville (Headquarters), Parramatta, and Epping — OSW offers a comprehensive suite of services including Early Prevention, Invisalign, Clear Aligners, Traditional Braces, and Lingual Braces.

Despite their rich history and highly specialised expertise, OSW’s digital presence wasn’t reflecting the calibre of care they delivered. With patients increasingly turning to search engines to find orthodontic treatment, the need to close the gap between their real-world reputation and their online visibility became critical.

Challenges

OSW came to AEK Media ready to grow — but facing several obstacles that were holding them back from reaching the patients they could genuinely help. A highly competitive healthcare landscape meant that without a strong digital strategy, even decades of clinical excellence could go unnoticed online.

Needs

Our Approach

Taking OSW to the next level began with a simple truth: patients searching for orthodontic treatment in Sydney are high-intent — they’re ready to act. Our job was to make sure OSW showed up at the exact moment those patients were looking for specialist care.

AEK Media built a location-first SEO strategy focused on non-branded, high-intent search terms across each of OSW’s three Sydney locations. Rather than chasing broad traffic, we focused on qualified patients — the kind that convert into long-term treatment plans. This approach doubled their traffic while simultaneously lifting new patient inquiries by 42%.

Strategy & Execution

Content Strategy
High-intent content strategy to attract quality patients

Winning organic traffic starts with content that speaks to what patients are actually searching for. AEK Media developed keyword-aligned content targeting OSW’s core services — Invisalign, Clear Aligners, Traditional Braces — across all three Sydney locations, driving qualified traffic that converts.

Local SEO
Location-based SEO to dominate across 3 Sydney suburbs

With specialised knowledge of local search dynamics, AEK Media optimised OSW’s presence from top to bottom. This included a thorough review of technical SEO elements to drive long-tail SEO opportunities across Hurstville, Parramatta, and Epping.

Design & Development
Website redesign to communicate 50 years of expertise

OSW’s five decades of clinical excellence deserved a digital home that reflected it. AEK Media redesigned their website to build trust at every touchpoint — showcasing credentials, specialist certifications, patient stories, and before-and-after results, turning first-time visitors into booked consultations.

Design & Development

Website Transformation

OSW’s previous website didn’t reflect the depth of expertise or quality of care the practice delivers. AEK Media redesigned it from the ground up — building a digital home worthy of 50+ years of clinical excellence.

Higher trust. More conversions. Built for specialists. — The redesign directly contributed to the 42% lift in new patient inquiries.
Authority Building
Digital PR and authority building for competitive edge

To compete against large national competitors, OSW needed domain authority that matched their clinical authority. AEK Media implemented a targeted digital PR and link-building campaign, amplifying OSW’s brand across authoritative healthcare directories and local media outlets.

SEO Performance

SEO & Organic Traffic Growth

We've doubled their traffic by focusing on high-intent patients.

For OSW, patients are all about quality — they are a specialised practice. Traffic mostly comes from
non-branded terms, meaning patients found them through treatment searches, not brand name
lookups. This is the strongest signal of a healthy, scalable acquisition funnel.
