Challenge
- Global pages used US FDA language inappropriate for EU clinician audiences.
- Legacy links pointed to discontinued device SKUs after a portfolio rebrand.
- Each market required local distributor pages that English outreach failed to support.
Approach
- Localized clinical evidence summaries with EU MDR references reviewed by regulatory consultants.
- Earned links from university hospitals and EU specialty societies with anchors to market-specific device pages.
- Reclaimed and redirected legacy links before expanding net-new outreach in DE, FR, and IT.
Results
- ✓EU qualified clinical leads from organic search rose 128%.
- ✓Market-specific referring domains grew 89% with 92% healthcare-classified publishers.
- ✓Legacy broken backlink equity largely recovered within two crawl cycles.
