Delivering Results for a Medical Billing Company After Years of Failed Vendors

Larsen Billing works with healthcare providers to improve how they manage revenue. The company provides billing, coding, and practice management services for medical practices.

Industry: Medical Billing Services

Type: B2B Services

Challenge: Larsen Billing had tried several website and SEO projects with other vendors, but none were successful. As a result, they struggled to get enough organic traffic and qualified leads to grow their business.

Approach: We created a complete strategy for website improvements and creative content that included:

We built a new website and launched an SEO plan that started bringing in steady leads.
Each week, we interviewed company leaders and turned their insights into articles that were optimized for search engines.
We also focused on high-quality keywords to help attract more leads.

Within just a few short months of working with Bill, he was able to transform our online presence and increased our organic traffic by 138%.

After many failed website / SEO projects over the years, I was determined to find someone who could actually deliver and bring us the traffic we needed. Bill is that person, and within just a few short months of working with him, he was able to transform our online presence. We started seeing high-quality leads a few weeks after our new site launched, translating into more meetings and new clients.
