The leak

Nobody books a procedure they’ve never heard of.

Most people with a bunion assume the fix means a hospital and weeks off their feet.

Dr. Zef’s practice is built around a different approach: small-incision procedures where the look of the foot afterward counts as part of the result. That’s the practice’s biggest advantage, and its biggest marketing problem, because patients don’t search for an option they don’t know exists.

They search for the problem instead: heel pain, an ingrown toenail, a corn that keeps coming back, a child’s flat feet. A site with one services paragraph gives none of those searches an answer, so the patient calls whoever did.

So the brief was to meet patients at the problem. A page for every condition the practice treats, pages for the towns around both offices, and the same next step everywhere: call, or book an appointment.

What we built

Seventy-two pages that start with the patient’s problem.

Treatments

Twenty-nine treatments, in plain words

Bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, Achilles tendon surgery, warts, gout, diabetic foot care and more, each explained for the patient reading about it for the first time.

Surgery

The difference, stated first

A page on minimally invasive surgery, and a homepage that leads with it: small incisions, less scarring and a faster return to normal.

Local search

Four areas per condition

Heel pain, ingrown toenails, flat feet, ankle sprains and four more conditions, each with pages for Warren, Sterling Heights, Macomb and Michigan searches.

Two offices

Which one is closer?

The Warren office on Eleven Mile Road and the Sterling Heights office on Mound Road, with the phone and Monday to Saturday hours beside them.

Trust

The team, by name

Dr. Zef, a registered nurse and a surgical coordinator shown with their photos, plus Google reviews from real patients on the homepage.

Booking

One tap from anywhere

A call button in the header, Book Appointment on the homepage and a contact form, so every patient reaches out the way they prefer.
