Digital Transformation of the Year

Healthcare Client’s Digital Transformation with Vertical Measures

Each month, Vertical Measures spends time with the Director of Marketing at American Vision Partners, Darla Espinosa, to create strategies which have proven to be successful in the overall growth of Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center. Our team performed an initial SEO audit (while working closely with a web development agency to ensure no authority was lost during the migration) and conducted post-migration strategies which helped clean up the site in the eyes of Google.

We completed other strategies that were highly beneficial to the steady increase in organic traffic YoY. A snippet of our transformation includes:

Content Creation 

We spent time each month creating well-researched articles and eBooks that their audience was actively searching for in search engines. Additionally, we frequently posted articles on their blog which helped improve the website’s rankings and, in turn, organic traffic increases.

Link Development           

• Links are the currency of the internet. The more links you have from relevant, authoritative sites (pointing to Goodeyes.com), the higher your rankings will be. In 2017 we were able to acquire 36 backlinks using a personalized outreach approach.

Conversion Rate Optimization

• Vertical Measures’ CRO efforts helped take the traffic that was already landing on a page and convert the traffic at a higher rate. We’ve seen amazing results with this overall with our self-evaluations, exit-intent popups, etc.

Search Engine Optimization 

• Vertical Measures constantly looks for ways to improve page performance in search. We optimized location pages to rank in search. We reviewed content that fell on pages 2 and 3 of Google and analyzed how we could improve the content to get the content to rank on page 1 (where most users find the information they’re looking for).

Our Results:

• YoY Organic Traffic
  • YoY Increase: 90% organic sessions
• YoY Marketing Qualified Leads (free guide download, self-evaluation completion, newsletter sign up)
