50% Decrease in SEM Budget
The high return of Featured Profiles allowed IGEA to reduce their search engine marketing budget by 50%
Challenge
IGEA's Chief Operating Officer, Shawn Ekwall, wanted to increase return on their advertising budget. He started with a ROI analysis on previous marketing expenditures, including IGEA’s search engine marketing (SEM) program. A large portion of the SEM budget was then dedicated to Google Ads.
Solution
Shawn was surprised to find a large majority of IGEA’s online referrals were coming from free WebMD Care Directories Basic Profiles, not paid Google Ads. After receiving a sales call from a WebMD Marketing Consultant, Shawn decided to sign IGEA’s physicians up for WebMD Care Directories' Featured Profiles. His goal was to boost IGEA's online referrals and ranking on search engines like Google with Featured Profiles.
Impact
Featured Profiles have generated more online referrals, improved search engine rankings and increased IGEA's overall percentage of new patients to 34%. Within the past year of using Featured Profiles, IGEA has saved $190,000, reducing their SEM budget by 50%. Shawn credits IGEA’s recent success to Featured Profiles and is happy to have added it to their search engine marketing strategy.
Inevitably patients end up at WebMD or Vitals. When
patients find one of our physicians, it's easy for them
to verify reviews and book an appointment with us.
