Overview

HealthLinks Marketing rebuilt the digital footprint of Three Rivers Medical Associates, a multi-provider family and internal medicine practice in Columbia and Irmo, SC. The practice had decades of goodwill in the community and almost none of it online: no modern website, unclaimed and inconsistent Google listings, and an online reputation of just 71 reviews averaging 3.8 stars.

We built the foundation first, designing and hosting a new, search-optimized website that gives every provider, location, and service a clear home online. From there, we claimed and optimized Google Business Profiles for the practice’s locations and providers, creating a digital footprint where there previously wasn’t one. We then launched an EMR-integrated reputation management program across nine providers, so every completed visit automatically generates a review request with no staff effort. To re-engage the existing patient base, we started a branded patient newsletter pairing physician-driven health education with timely calls to action for physicals, screenings, and follow-ups. Finally, we placed out-of-home billboards on key commuter routes to keep the TRMA name in front of the community every day.

What We Did

Website Design, Google Business Profile Management, Reputation Management, Patient Newsletter, SEO & Blog Content, and Outdoor Billboards.

Our Approach

Every piece of the footprint fed the next. The billboards built name recognition across the Midlands, so when patients searched for primary care, the practice they found was one they already knew. The Google Business Profiles caught that search moment and routed patients to a website built to turn interest into appointments. Each completed visit then triggered an automated review request, strengthening the very profiles that attract the next patient. And the newsletter closed the loop, keeping existing patients engaged between visits and coming back for care. One footprint, with every piece pulling in the same direction.
