Who Can Benefit From Conversion Rate Optimization?

Any addiction treatment center with a website that attracts traffic can benefit from conversion rate optimization. It’s one of the trickiest yet most impactful pieces of a digital marketing strategy and, when effectively done, gets the most out of SEO and ensures valuable targeted traffic is converted into leads rather than lost as a missed opportunity. In fact, CRO is most effective when it’s part of a comprehensive approach to marketing for addiction treatment centers, turning increased traffic into actual admissions. CRO testing allows us to make every element on a website’s pages contribute to a user’s positive experience, guiding them down a funnel from site visitor to treatment center patient.

Our Challenge

The client had a strong service offering and a strong reputation, but facilities of lesser quality and experience were surpassing them in their marketing tactics and outreach. This client needed to catch up and claim their status as the authority in their space.

Our Solution

We proposed a content marketing and SEO strategy to be followed up with a solid CRO strategy to capitalize on new site traffic and turn it into conversions. The CRO strategy would entail multiple touch-point conversions, including inbound phone calls, online chat and insurance form submissions.

Our Results

By combining SEO with rigorous CRO testing and implementation, the client saw outstanding results in the form of drastic increases in phone calls, insurance queries and organic traffic. Compared to the previous year, the client saw the following results:

  • 210% increase in organic traffic
  • 153% increase in the conversion rate for inbound phone calls
  • Five times the number of average phone calls
  • Value of per-lead insurance queries increased by 50%

Our Process

wheel

With CRO, testing is the name of the game. It requires a clear, thorough and detailed strategy to run shrewdly architected tests. This is where we reach for — and achieve — the heights of website conversion optimization.

We test page elements to enhance user experience and make conversions as eye-catching and actionable as possible, with the goal of converting leads. Variables can include page titles, headlines, call-to-action (CTA) design and placement, changing colors of CTA text, new or varied images and other elements — all to move toward making the elements work together in the most efficient, successful way possible.

We’re looking for a synergy of elements, which requires a bit of intuition mixed with excellent design skills and attention to detail, always staying directly in line with your brand. Successful tests of such detailed elements and variables requires diligent tracking, data analysis and record keeping to decipher results.

We set up a challenger page to compare and test against the current, or live, page. Visiting traffic is split evenly between the two, so we can then measure the performance of each page against the other. This requires obtaining enough data for the tests to be meaningful and show a clear trend. However, our full CRO process is six-fold and includes discovery, strategy, implementation, optimization, analysis and auditing.

Discovery & Onboarding

While our team is well versed in the addiction treatment industry’s overall marketing landscape, we have a thorough discovery and onboarding process so we can get to your center’s unique brand, patients, competition and services.

Discovery Call

First, we get to know you through a free Discovery Call and free initial site and analytics review.

Your Budget, Your Goals

Our CRO services start at $1k/mo. which includes comprehensive A/B testing, reporting, and winning test deployment.

Onboarding

When a client chooses a plan with us, we make sure it’s the right one and that they’re informed of the process and are able to provide input every step of the way.

Strategize

With CRO, a well-thought-out strategy is key and includes research and thorough multivariate and A/B testing.

Page Strategy

While SEO drives traffic to your site’s pages, CRO is where we decide which site pages to focus on to capitalize on incoming traffic and drive home the most leads and conversions.

Element Placement

Our element placement strategy helps us determine where and how elements such as forms, chat boxes and calls to action work best on a page.

Testing Strategy

A strong testing strategy includes planning how we’ll test the effectiveness of various elements on a site’s page, track test results and make changes that continuously lead to better results and higher conversion rates.

Implement & Execute

The implementation and execution phase of our CRO services involves advanced page design and then testing, testing and more testing.

Design & Setup

First, we redesign pages to include enticing, engaging content and calls to action inspired by your center’s specific conversion goals. This may involve creating new headlines, content, CTA placement and the creation of new page elements that form a more efficient conversion funnel.

Multivariate Testing

With multivariate testing, we compare multiple page variables at once to rate a new “challenger” page against a previous one.

A/B Testing

A/B tests, on the other hand, split incoming page traffic to test and optimize one page element at a time, improving calls to action and other content to increasingly resonate with site visitors.

Optimize

CRO optimization involves testing and reworking the right page elements to get the most value out of a page while improving user experience for those seeking addiction treatment now.

High-Value Pages

We optimize pages driving the most traffic first to see the quickest, most impactful results that fill your seats.

Keywords & SEO

CRO-specific optimization actually includes search engine optimization and optimizing keyword phrases so the elements on a page can do the work of converting as much targeted incoming traffic as possible.

Continual Refocusing

As our CRO efforts progress, we ensure results remain in line with your treatment center’s goals, refocusing our work in real time based on your (and your clients’) feedback.

Analyze

Data is a crucial part of effective CRO, and our analysis remains transparent, with changes constantly documented and tracked throughout the entire process.

Data Analysis

CRO is a science of experimentation as well as an art, and we use comprehensive data analysis to lead the way.

Performance Analysis

Qualitatively, how are the results affecting your business and aligning with your original vision for results? Your feedback and user feedback is key.

Targeting Analysis

Are we still reaching the people you want to reach most? What have we learned about those who’ve interacted with you or your site to create more valuable content and contact methods?

Audit & Refine

As we audit and refine your site’s pages to optimize for conversions, we collaborate with you to refine an ongoing plan that continues to drive results that scale and best serve your clients and future growth of your treatment center.

Measuring & Reporting

At Lead to Recovery, we’re unfailing in our commitment to documenting our processes. With every optimization, A/B test, form edit or external algorithm change, we make sure we keep track of our work within the analytics interface itself so clients and internal team members can measure the effectiveness of each action.

Adjusting

When we make adjustments to any element on your website’s pages, we keep user experience top of mind to get those facing addiction the information and services your center provides as quickly and easily as possible.

Scaling

With effective CRO leading to an increasing number of phone calls, form submissions and admissions, we work together to ensure a solid plan for continued, targeted growth.
