Digital marketing is often discussed in theory, yet many business owners remain unsure how it translates into real results.
Heartland Seniors Finance demonstrated how replacing traditional advertising with a structured digital strategy can significantly improve lead generation and online engagement.
The Challenge: Traditional Marketing Was Losing Effectiveness
For years, Heartland Seniors Finance relied on television, radio, and print advertising to promote their services. As customer behaviour shifted online, these channels became less effective, resulting in:
- Reduced lead flow
- Plateaued brand awareness
- Increasing customer acquisition costs
The business required a new approach to remain competitive in a changing market.
The Strategy: A Digital Marketing Transformation
Website Redesign
The first step involved redesigning the company’s website to improve navigation, enhance mobile usability, and provide clear calls to action. The updated site was structured to guide visitors towards enquiries rather than simply presenting information.
Search Engine Optimisation and Content
An SEO audit identified the terms customers were using when researching reverse mortgages. Based on these insights, optimised web pages and educational content were created to improve search rankings and provide value to prospective clients.
Lead Generation Campaigns
Targeted advertising campaigns were launched across Google Ads and Facebook. Each campaign directed users to a dedicated landing page aligned with the specific message of the advertisement.
Ongoing Analytics and Optimisation
Web analytics tools were used to monitor performance indicators such as:
- Website traffic
- Conversion rates
- Campaign return on investment
Campaigns were regularly adjusted based on performance data to maximise effectiveness.
The Results
- 873% increase in organic website visits
- 13% improvement in search visibility
- 29.5% increase in page views
- 71.95% growth in downloadable guide enquiries
- Nearly 20% increase in new visitors
- Almost 20% higher conversion rates
Within a short period, the digital approach delivered improved engagement and higher quality leads compared to previous traditional campaigns.
Key Takeaways for Business Owners
- Ensure your website is user-focused and mobile-ready
- Create content that answers customer questions
- Direct paid traffic to dedicated landing pages
- Track campaign performance using analytics tools
