Medilodge Group

Thriving after "Web Rehab"
“We have been ecstatic with the results of our website program. In less than a year, we have seen an increase of nearly 250% in new website visitors and our online contact requests have increased from an average of two per week to an average of more than 10 per week.”
- Shea Baker, Administrator at MediLodge of Montrose

Client Profile

MediLodge Group, named the #1 short-term rehab facility in Michigan by the Detroit Free Press, includes 17 nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Despite the excellence of its care, MediLodge was lacking a strong local online presence in communities where its facilities were located. The effort and complexity of developing an effective web-based solution for each local facility was cost-prohibitive. MediLodge Group sought Cirrus ABS help to:
  • Implement a world-class web solution that was costeffective for each location
  • Ensure consistent implementation of the MediLodge brand and messaging across all facility websites
  • Drive new business by optimizing local search results and converting website visits into leads
  • Enable centralized oversight for the organization’s web presence while still allowing each location to easily update its own content

    • Centrally controlled web content, compliance and functionality updates that can be pushed out to all affiliated websites
    • Online marketing knowledge and training portal to educate local staff on best practices
    • Local search engine optimization to increase site visibility, traffic and lead generation
    • Analytic tools to measure online and offline marketing efforts across all websites

  • Created a program to measure the effectiveness of online and offline marketing initiatives across all locations through website landing pages, telephone call tracking, personalized URLs and other advanced reporting tools.
