Client: New Zealand Health Group (NZHG)

Industry: Healthcare

Location: New Zealand

About the Client

New Zealand Health Group (NZHG) is the largest integrated provider of health and community services across New Zealand. With over 30,000 Kiwis supported through services such as home care, rehabilitation, health staffing, and medical alarms, NZHG operates multiple healthcare brands including Geneva Healthcare, Healthcare New Zealand, Private Care NZ, and Freedom Medical Alarms.

Despite strong brand recognition, NZHG’s digital strategy had gaps in reach, conversion, and ad spend efficiency. The organization sought an expert partner to improve SEO, SEM, and overall digital performance.

The Challenges

Upon auditing NZHG’s digital ecosystem, several key issues were identified:

Problem	Description
❌ Fragmented Digital Accounts	Multiple subsidiary brands with inconsistent PPC and SEO execution.
❌ Poor ROI from Google Ads	Campaigns lacked strategic structure, resulting in inefficient budget utilization.
❌ Low Search Visibility	Many strategic keywords for core services were underperforming or missing from the top SERPs.
❌ Technical SEO Gaps	Issues with page speed, broken links, lack of structured data, and weak internal linking affected crawlability and user experience.
❌ Limited Retargeting	Missed opportunities to re-engage high-intent users via display and remarketing campaigns.
