Performance Marketing for a Specialist Healthcare Platform
Executive Summary
We implemented a full-funnel, data-driven performance marketing program for a healthcare brand offering advanced surgical procedures at competitive prices. Over a three-month engagement the program delivered measurable improvements in acquisition efficiency and pipeline productivity:
- Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): 5×
- Conversion Rate: +30%
- Cost per Acquisition (CPA): −20%
- Click-Through Rate (CTR): +25%
These results transformed paid media into a predictable, scalable revenue channel and provided leadership with real-time visibility into marketing contribution to the top of funnel and revenue pipeline.
Business Challenge
The brand faced two linked problems:
- Low online visibility for high-intent treatment keywords in a crowded market.
- High acquisition costs and weak attribution, preventing scalable investment decisions.
Leadership needed faster insight into which channels and creatives actually drove consultations and bookings — not just clicks.
Strategic Approach
We designed a lean, repeatable framework focused on revenue contribution and efficiency.
Key actions
- High-intent keyword mapping: segmented by treatment type, urgency, and geo. Prioritized terms with clear conversion intent.
- Audience & creative segmentation: developed persona-led creatives addressing trust, affordability, and surgical expertise.
- Landing page optimization: collaborated with UX to reduce friction, shorten booking paths and add clear CTAs.
- Attribution & analytics: implemented GA4 + server-side conversion APIs and a Data Studio dashboard to link ad spend to lead conversions.
- Automation & testing: used automated bid strategies with guardrails and ran systematic A/B tests on creatives and landing flows.
