Having used Broadbased Communications as our agency partner for more than a year now, I can say that they bring an incredibly personalized touch along with their vast knowledge and resources for the midsized (and RAPIDLY growing) healthcare company. From standard marketing practices to out-of-the-box ideas, I know I can always approach anyone on their team with a question or a problem.

Challenge

Complete Health, a rapidly growing Jacksonville-based healthcare organization, needed a marketing strategy that could scale alongside its expansion—from 3 locations in 2019 to 39 practices nationwide by 2025. Key hurdles included:

  • Fragmented patient data across multiple Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, making ROI tracking nearly impossible.
  • Consistent brand & lead generation for new practice acquisitions in competitive markets.
  • Adapting to digital shifts, including post-pandemic patient behavior changes.

Solution

BroadBased developed an integrated, data-driven marketing framework designed to evolve with industry trends, not just rely on them.

  • Scalable Marketing Playbooks
    • Customized brand guidelines and onboarding processes for new acquisitions.
    • Dynamic campaign sequencing: Awareness → Lead Gen → Retention, adjusted for local markets.
  • Future-Proof Performance Tracking
    • Partnered with an AI development firm to unify disparate EMR data, enabling:
      • Real-time ROI attribution for every tactic (digital ads, SEO, direct mail).
      • Lifetime value projections by patient type—critical for budget allocation.
  • Agile Organic Growth Engine
    • Evergreen SEO strategy focused on user intent (not just keywords), ensuring resilience against algorithm updates.
    • Content hubs updated quarterly to align with search trends and patient needs.

Results

Outcomes that scale—and stay relevant

  • 449% ROI from integrated campaigns (2019–2025), with tracking refined annually.
  • 293% increase in new patient calls from organic search, sustained through Google’s 2024 core updates.
  • 30 #1 rankings + 135 first-page rankings for high-intent terms, maintained via intent-based optimization.

Strategic Impact:

  • Supported Complete Health’s growth to $700M+ revenue and 500+ employees.
  • AI-powered tracking now benchmarks performance against current industry standards (e.g., 2025 healthcare marketing ROI averages).

Key Insights

  • Scaling lead generation for large organizations requires a strategy that’s flexible and forward-thinking
  • Leveraging emergent technology like AI and machine learning is critical to accurately track ROI and key performance-based datapoints
  • For companies with dozens of locations across a wide geographic area, strategies and budgets must be well-documented on monthly, quarterly and annual intervals
