The Challenge

Competing in a Crowded Healthcare Market

Epworth Healthcare, one of Victoria's largest private hospital networks, faced increasing competition from both public health services and other private providers. Their existing digital presence wasn't effectively capturing the growing number of patients researching health services online.

  • Fragmented digital marketing efforts across multiple departments and agencies
  • Low visibility for high-value medical services in organic search
  • High cost-per-acquisition on Google Ads with poor conversion tracking
  • Outdated website struggling to convert visitors into patient enquiries
  • No unified attribution model to understand the patient journey
Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive digital strategy that unified Epworth's marketing efforts across all channels, with a focus on HIPAA-compliant tracking and healthcare-specific conversion optimisation.

  • Conducted thorough market analysis and competitor benchmarking
  • Implemented healthcare-compliant conversion tracking across all touchpoints
  • Rebuilt Google Ads campaigns with medical-specific targeting and ad copy
  • Developed content strategy targeting high-intent medical search queries
  • Created service-specific landing pages optimised for patient conversion
  • Established multi-touch attribution model to track the patient journey

  • 420% increase in qualified patient leads compared to previous year
  • 5.8x return on ad spend (ROAS) across Google Ads campaigns
