The Challenge
The client’s primary challenge was a need for more effective patient acquisition and a higher return on their substantial digital marketing investment
The Strategy
We implemented a principles-based approach focused on four key areas:
- Data Refinement: We didn’t just look at the numbers; we made them work for us. We conducted an in-depth analysis of their historical campaign data, identifying key patterns and optimizing targeting parameters for maximum impact
. We then activated their CRM data to improve campaign optimization and built a custom measurement strategy with center-level KPIs to align daily actions with their organizational goals . - Advanced Targeting: We meticulously built a keyword matrix based on the organization’s locations, target audiences, and levels of care
. Through extensive research, we honed in on the most relevant search terms, ensuring every click was from someone whose needs we could meet . - Creative Enhancements: We crafted compelling ad copy and rigorously selected landing pages to maximize engagement and conversions
. We used an 80/20 approach, keeping their best-performing headlines and descriptions while studying search engine result pages (SERPs) to uncover what truly motivates users . - Granular Segmentation: We created a detailed campaign structure at the center and P+L budget level
. This allowed us to effectively allocate budgets based on census counts, average length of stay, and admit rate, dramatically improving efficiency and performance for each location .
The Results
Our strategic, and calculated approach delivered extraordinary results in just the first three months of our partnership, when looking at a year-over-year comparison.
