About our project with Taking Care

Taking Care initially came to us with some big ambitions, and we worked with them to smash a whole range of these targets. But we’re always looking for ways to go bigger, and better, and that’s been a huge focus over the past 12 months, with a primary emphasis on driving a higher volume of quality web traffic as well as increasing our list of page one search rankings.

The healthcare market is highly competitive, but from a search perspective, it’s important to tread carefully. That’s why we invested plenty of time up-front to understand the ongoing dynamics and moving parts of the company; the industry, and importantly, their target audience – bringing all of that to life through our unique Intelligent Insights report to define our SEO & Content Strategy work.

We worked closely with our lovely client to ensure our objectives were clear and measurable – then set to work!

First, we refined and refreshed existing audience data, created personas, and narrowed things down to two key target audiences. This helped shape tone of voice, structure, and the positioning of the content we wanted to create.

Building on our personas, we focused on the technical foundations of our SEO strategy and made some UX improvements, including the blog page structure to ensure a ‘happy and informed user experience’.

The aim was to make sure our content resonated with our audiences as well as ranking highly in SERPs. We used highly detailed and targeted content briefs to produce carefully crafted articles that was rooted in SEO, but also resonated with our target audience’s intent. The highest quality content help solidify Taking Care as a ‘trusted source’ for guidance and advice on personal alarms for the elderly. Crucially, it successfully directed an increasing amount of relevant and high-quality traffic to the Taking Care website.

With our strategy and approach in place, we were able to deliver some fantastic results:

Sessions jumped a massive +74% year on year, surpassing our initial target.

We achieved page-one rankings for 33 out of 37 targeted terms, translating to an impressive 97% success rate.

A huge 65% of terms we were aiming to rank for now have a spot on the first page.

Visibility has continued to climb since we’ve been working with Taking Care, further reinforcing the long-term impact of our efforts.

Getting shortlisted for the UK Search Awards 2023 is a great way to celebrate the hard work of our team, as well as the fantastic team at Taking Care.

John Swaffield, Digital and Multi-Channel Marketing Manager at Taking Care had this to say about our work together: “We’re thrilled to be named finalists for the UK Search Awards for the second year running – this recognition reflects the success of our ongoing partnership with No Brainer and a desire to keep up the momentum from our first year working together.
