Case Study

Adventist Health Elevates PPC Strategy for Competitive Edge

Adventist Health

Facing rising competition from pharmaceutical companies, health systems, and national directories, Adventist Health needed a smarter paid search strategy to expand visibility and grow its share of voice online.

Industry: Healthcare

Location: West Coast, U.S.

Project Scope: Paid search campaign overhaul, AdWords optimization, landing page testing, keyword strategy

Solution Provided: A full AdWords restructuring with ongoing testing and optimization to boost conversions while reducing cost-per-acquisition.

The Challenge

With competitors like OHSU, Legacy Health, and high-authority sites like Ask.com dominating paid search, Adventist Health’s existing campaigns struggled to keep pace. Although their digital presence was established, they lacked the strategic depth needed to attract and convert a larger volume of patients in a saturated market.

The Solution

  • Narrative-Aligned Strategy: Built the campaign around the archetype of the “trusted caregiver,” aligning with Adventist Health’s brand story to create messaging that would resonate deeply with prospective patients.
  • Precision AdWords Optimization: Implemented a rigorous keyword and bid management strategy, restructured ad groups by performance, and launched targeted copy updates to improve quality scores and engagement.
  • Data-Driven Refinement: Deployed ongoing A/B and multivariate landing page testing alongside continuous search term analysis to enhance conversion rates and reduce ad waste.

The Results

Adventist Health’s new strategy didn’t just compete—it outperformed:

  • 575% increase in conversions year over year

  • 83% decrease in cost-per-conversion, making the campaign dramatically more efficient

  • Adventist Health now leads in online healthcare marketing performance, thanks to a tailored strategy that prioritized relevance and agility

This transformation proves that even in highly saturated markets, targeted strategy and optimization can redefine digital success.
