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. Their existing campaigns weren’t fully leveraging the available data, creative, and targeting opportunities, leading to missed opportunities and inefficient spending. They needed an agency that could cut through the noise and deliver measurable, impactful results that went beyond basic metrics.

 

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.

 

  • Skyrocketed Admissions: We achieved a 134% increase in pay-per-click sourced admissions year-over-year. This is a clear demonstration that our optimizations successfully drove conversions that mattered most—patient acquisition.

     

  • Increased Leads & Lower Cost: We boosted leads by 119% while simultaneously achieving a substantial 20% decrease in Cost per Lead (CPL). This enhanced efficiency allowed us to generate more high-quality leads at a lower cost, optimizing the client’s marketing budget.

     

  • Reduced Cost per Admit: Our comprehensive optimizations led to a remarkable 25% decrease in Cost per Admit (CPA). This achievement underscored our ability to drive higher admissions at a reduced cost, showcasing the efficiency of our strategies and unlocking the ability to scale spend up by 75%.

2100 Digital has gone above and beyond in being accessible to allow for efficient feedback loops and fast changes. I have been impressed with how well they are tracking progress on projects and reporting each week on what has been accomplished. They have leaned into a collaborative relationship with us, leveraging their expertise but looking for context and nuance from the organization to refine their efforts.
