ProMedica Senior Care: Improving Leads and Efficiency Using Budget Bid Strategies

The Challenge:

How do you manage hundreds of individual elder care marketing paid search campaigns under a single umbrella? And how do you do it and generate more leads while also reducing the cost per acquisition?

Gemini’s client, ProMedica Senior Care (formerly HCR ManorCare) has more than 350 locations that are supported by individually managed paid search campaigns. Each campaign requires a unique monthly budget based on facility size and capacity.

To efficiently manage the client program while driving results, Gemini needed to find a solution that could manage budget pacing, optimize bids based on the budget and lead goals, and drive high-quality leads.

Senior health services marketing with this many campaigns became a big challenge for our team. Innovation, consolidation and auction-time bidding saved the day.

Streamlining With Precision

Gemini created budget plans with bid strategies that allowed the team to implement optimizations at scale instead of manually editing each campaign.

Once we inputted each location into our bid management tool, we could set CPA and conversion goals while managing every budget under one dashboard.

We also added auction-time bidding to help our team more efficiently manage budgets and make real-time bid adjustments to drive more leads. In essence we automated the individual touch required to elevate each account to its maximum potential.

Less Time, More Leads

Marketing for senior care wasn’t all that different than for other clients. With the new, advanced systems in place, Gemini could more efficiently manage spend. Using auction-time bidding, the team exceeded its annual lead goals three months ahead of schedule.

Every campaign’s year-over-year lead volume increased—some by more than 100%—while cost per action (CPA) decreased by 40%. These metrics demonstrate that our team’s efficiency-based approach paid off huge, and that budget bidding works.
