Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 8k keywords and drive about 14k monthly organic visits (traffic value ≈ $25k), with minimal reliance on paid search.
- Your Authority Score is 37, supported by ~19k backlinks from ~2k referring domains—solid credibility, but not yet “category-leader” strength.
- Traffic is concentrated in a few winners: the homepage (~5k, 32% of traffic) plus two blog posts on morning sickness and miscarriage (~2k each, ~34% combined); top queries include brand terms (“oula”, “oula health”) and high-volume informational terms like “when does morning sickness start” and “miscarriage symptoms.”
Growth Opportunity
- Reduce concentration risk by scaling topic clusters that already work (pregnancy symptoms, miscarriage, postpartum, hospital prep), expanding into adjacent long-tails and FAQs to capture more non-brand demand.
- Build/strengthen bottom-funnel intent coverage with systematic city + service pages (e.g., OBGYN/midwife, prenatal, postpartum, insurance/Medicaid) and expand your proven location page template beyond NYC neighborhoods.
- Increase authority and rankings headroom by earning more high-quality links to key service/location pages (not just blog posts) and tightening technical hygiene across subdomains (e.g., stage/prod footprints) to avoid dilution.
Assessment
You have real organic traction and clear product-market relevance, but growth is constrained by traffic concentration and a mix that leans heavily on brand + a few informational posts. The “so what”: scaling content and programmatic landing pages can unlock meaningful incremental demand in a category with much larger total search volume. AirOps can help you execute that expansion systematically and consistently.
Competition at a Glance
This review includes 1 direct competitor with complete SEO metrics (Ruth Health); other named sites in the dataset either have incomplete or unavailable keyword data, limiting full like-for-like comparisons.
Within the comparable set, oulahealth.com ranks #1 for both organic search traffic and ranking keywords, with 14,291 estimated monthly organic visits and 8,354 ranking keywords—indicating strong organic discovery and broad topic coverage versus the competitor with available data.
The top-performing competitor in the retrievable set is ruthhealth.com with 3 estimated monthly organic visits and 1 ranking keyword, leaving Oula with a clear visibility advantage today; however, the presence of larger category players in the broader dataset (traffic-only) suggests the overall market has significant existing demand beyond this immediate head-to-head snapshot.
Opportunity Kickstarters

Create thousands of hyperlocal landing pages that map specific neighborhood intent to Oula’s physical clinics and service lines. This strategy captures high-intent local searchers looking for immediate care options in their specific part of NYC or Connecticut.
Example Keywords
- "prenatal care in [Neighborhood Name]"
- "midwife in [Neighborhood Name]"
- "gynecologist in [Neighborhood Name]"
- "postpartum visit [Neighborhood Name]"
- "OBGYN accepting new patients [Neighborhood Name]"
Rationale
Local search intent is extremely high-conversion for healthcare providers. By creating a dense layer of neighborhood-specific pages, Oula can capture traffic from users who are filtering by proximity before they ever reach a broad directory site.
Topical Authority
Oula is a legitimate physical care provider with existing clinics in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Norwalk. This physical presence, combined with an Authority Score of 37, provides the necessary signals for Google to rank these localized pages.
Internal Data Sources
Use clinic-specific data including addresses, transit/parking instructions, elevator/stroller accessibility, and provider rosters for each specific site.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000 - 6,000 pages (Mapping 250+ neighborhoods across multiple service lines and clinic variants).
Develop a comprehensive library of pages that answer the most common question in healthcare: "Do you take my insurance?" These pages map specific insurance providers and plans to Oula’s services and locations.
Example Keywords
- "[Insurance Company] prenatal care NYC"
- "[Specific Plan Name] in-network midwife [Borough]"
- "OBGYN that takes [Insurance] [Neighborhood]"
- "pregnancy care [Insurance] coverage [City]"
- "postpartum visit covered by [Insurance]"
Rationale
Insurance is the primary filter for patients choosing a provider. Capturing this intent at the plan-specific level allows Oula to bypass generic competition and speak directly to the user's financial constraints.
Topical Authority
As a contracted provider with major payers, Oula has the right to publish detailed coverage information. This transparency builds trust and satisfies Google's E-E-A-T requirements for financial/medical accuracy.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize internal contracted payer lists, benefit verification scripts, and common billing code explanations to provide unique, helpful context.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,500 - 8,000 pages (Covering dozens of payers and hundreds of plans across various geographic modifiers).
Generate detailed guides for every hospital where Oula clinicians deliver, focusing on the logistical and procedural questions patients have as they approach their due date. This targets users who have already chosen a hospital but are still looking for the right provider team.
Example Keywords
- "delivering at [Hospital Name] what to expect"
- "labor and delivery [Hospital Name] parking and entrance"
- "midwife delivery at [Hospital Name]"
- "[Hospital Name] maternity ward visitor policy"
- "postpartum care after delivering at [Hospital Name]"
Rationale
The choice of delivery hospital is a major factor in provider selection. By providing the most helpful logistical information for a specific hospital, Oula positions itself as the expert partner for that facility.
Topical Authority
Oula’s clinicians have admitting privileges and established workflows at these hospitals, giving the brand unique "boots on the ground" authority that generic health sites lack.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal hospital arrival workflows, clinician-authored packing lists, and triage instructions specific to each facility.
Estimated Number of Pages
300 - 1,200 pages (Covering major hospitals and their associated sub-topics like parking, NICU, and triage).
Create a programmatic library of explainers for every prenatal and gynecological visit type, test, and procedure. These pages target users searching for "what to expect" right before they book or attend an appointment.
Example Keywords
- "what happens at [X-week] prenatal appointment"
- "[Specific Test Name] during pregnancy what to expect"
- "[Procedure Name] recovery and timeline"
- "anatomy ultrasound what to expect Oula"
- "glucose test preparation for pregnant women"
Rationale
Patients often search for specific visit types or tests when they are in the "consideration" phase of care. These pages serve as a bridge between informational research and booking a visit.
Topical Authority
Oula’s medical team performs these tests and visits daily. Using clinician-reviewed content ensures the high level of accuracy required for YMYL (Your Money Your Life) medical topics.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage Oula’s prenatal visit schedule, patient education handouts, and internal clinical protocols.
Estimated Number of Pages
800 - 3,000 pages (Covering dozens of visit types and tests across various pregnancy stages and patient scenarios).
Build a massive, structured library of pages that address specific symptoms at specific weeks of pregnancy, focusing on the "When to Call" intent. This differentiates from broad symptom definitions by providing actionable triage advice.
Example Keywords
- "[Symptom] at [Week Number] when to call doctor"
- "is [Symptom] normal during [Trimester]"
- "cramping at [Week Number] what to do"
- "postpartum [Symptom] day [X]"
- "decreased movement at [Week Number] triage"
Rationale
Pregnancy symptoms are searched by the millions, but most content is generic. By adding the "week" and "triage" modifiers, Oula can capture the most urgent, high-intent long-tail traffic.
Topical Authority
Oula already ranks for major symptom keywords like "morning sickness start." Expanding into the granular long-tail leverages this existing topical authority to dominate the niche.
Internal Data Sources
Use Oula’s internal triage guidelines, "red flag" lists, and clinician-authored patient education scripts.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000 - 12,000 pages (Mapping 70+ symptoms across 40+ weeks of pregnancy and the postpartum period).
Improvements Summary
Refocus two high-opportunity symptom posts (miscarriage and postpartum) around specific long-tail intents with symptom-led H2s, short definition blocks, “when to call” callouts, timeline tables, and snippet-ready FAQs. Add medical review signals, citations, and FAQPage schema, then connect both posts through new hub pages and stronger internal links from related pregnancy content.
Improvements Details
For the miscarriage page, restructure around GI/systemic symptom queries with dedicated sections and FAQs targeting terms like "diarrhea while miscarrying," "loose stools after miscarriage," "nausea after miscarriage," "vomiting during miscarriage," and "chills during miscarriage," plus a red-flag box, differential diagnosis section, and a symptom timeline table. For the postpartum page, add an above-the-fold definition and decision tree for "eschar bleeding" (including variants like "eschar bleeding 2 weeks postpartum"), then expand into broader postpartum red flags (lochia vs hemorrhage, clots, fever/chills, high blood pressure symptoms, incision concerns, mastitis) and add FAQPage schema. Build /blog/pregnancy-loss-recovery/ and /blog/postpartum-health/ hub pages, add “Related reading” modules, and update titles/meta to highlight symptom + timeframe + “when to call,” with visible medically reviewed/byline and authoritative citations (ACOG/RCOG/CDC).
Improvements Rationale
Current rankings show broad intent mismatch and weak term-level visibility, while several long-tail queries have relatively low competition and are within page-2-to-page-1 reach (e.g., "diarrhea while miscarrying" and "eschar bleeding"). Symptom-led structure, concise definitions, and short FAQs improve eligibility for featured snippets and PAA, while stronger E-E-A-T (reviewer credentials, fresh dates, citations) is needed for YMYL trust. Hub-and-spoke internal linking helps concentrate topical authority so the site can compete over time for higher-volume terms like "diarrhea miscarriage" and "nausea after miscarriage."
