Boutique Chiang Mai SEO and AI search agency with a healthcare SEO practice
About Search Studio
Search Studio Co., Ltd. is a boutique search agency with its office in Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai. It is an SEO and AI agency focused on sustainable growth, and it serves clients across Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia as well as Australia, Europe and the United States. It also has an Australian phone number and an Australian domain.
The agency grew out of the partnership of co-founders Fonthip (Fon) and Mam, who met at university and began doing SEO for Australian agencies in 2013. The company itself was registered in 2019 (some listings say 2022). The team of nine includes two SEO strategists, three SEO specialists, an outreach specialist, a social SEO specialist, a project manager and a client partnership executive.
Healthcare is one of five industries the agency targets, and its healthcare SEO service covers dental practices alongside private clinics, wellness centres, medical spas and hospitals. For clinics the work covers Google Business Profile and map visibility, keyword research in Thai and English as well as conversational AI queries, patient-focused content, on-page structure and links from relevant health websites. The service also addresses medical tourists and expatriate patients. Its local SEO service runs in four stages, from an audit of the profile, citations, reviews and competitors through strategy and optimisation to reporting. Profile work covers categories, descriptions, services, photos, posts and Q&A.
The closest healthcare proof is The Metro Clinic, a Bangkok aesthetic clinic, where about a year of SEO more than doubled organic traffic and lifted conversions by over 80 percent. Other published results include Lussopack, a Bangkok packaging maker that now gets leads from more than 15 countries after organic traffic nearly tripled, and Skipper, an Australian home care brand that reached page one within six months. VPS HiSpeed has been a client since 2016. No dental clinic is named as a client.
Google reviewers praise communication, responsiveness and ranking gains. One reviewer noted that the team wrote relevant medical aesthetics articles even though that sector is outside its usual focus. Clients also mention white-hat methods.
Prices are not published. Campaigns are scoped by location count, competition and goals, and a free audit and consultation come first. The minimum budget is 1,000 to 10,000 US dollars. Work is delivered in English with a Thai-language site, and the agency expects most healthcare clients to see meaningful progress within six to twelve months. It also runs white-label SEO for other agencies and AI search optimisation for ChatGPT and Perplexity visibility.
