Southern Veterinary Partners (SVP) is a veterinarian-owned and operated network of animal hospitals with 420 locations currently open nationwide. As a massive house of brands, each SVP hospital location remains locally branded and committed to its community, maintaining a unique identity while benefiting from the support of the larger network.
Since 2021, SVP has partnered with Cardinal to build a scalable paid media framework that supports continual expansion and growth while maintaining cost efficiency and profitability.
Through refined budgeting, operational alignment, and continuous campaign optimizations, SVP has seen strong year-over-year (Jan-Nov 2023 to 2024) growth, with new leads increasing by 54% and ROAS improving by 11%.
It’s been proven that using the internet to promote your veterinary practice is a cheaper and more efficient way to reach new patients compared to traditional marketing methods such as taking out a print ad or paying commissions to a referral agency. And in a recent study, 46 percent of people who are online Googling certain keywords to find the information they need can’t decipher between paid advertisements and organic search results.
This tells us that a PPC campaign done right is an easy, effective way to get to the top of the SERPs and noticed by the people who are looking for a veterinarian. But unfortunately, it can cost more time and money trying to figure it out yourself than partnering with professional PPC experts. Let us help you elevate your marketing campaigns.
Before we set up your campaigns or spend a dime of PPC budget, our team will take a close look at the competitive landscape within your vertical. This will include a look at your target audiences, journey mapping, and an analysis of your competitors. All of this information will help inform which keywords we need to target in order to maximize ROI on your PPC spend.
The keywords we target are just part of our PPC strategy. Our team of talented designers, copywriters, and conversion optimization specialists will create ads and landing pages designed to get clicks and conversions that bring in qualified leads for your veterinary clinic.
Our veterinary PPC campaigns are so effective because they’re powered by people and perfected by algorithms. We leverage powerful AI and machine learning to improve performance while doing what humans do best (i.e. the strategy, competitive research, messaging, copywriting, design, data analysis, and trend forecasting that go behind effective campaigns). Human brilliance meets digital innovation: that’s how we deliver more leads with lower CPA, every time.
Our deep-rooted technical Google Ads expertise enables us to develop optimized account structures for multi-location veterinary clinics that result in better efficiency and higher patient generation volume. We build consolidated search campaigns to maximize smart bidding performance, feeding the Google algorithm more data so it can optimize conversions. When necessary, we also segment campaigns to control budgets by region, so you can hit your individual target CPA goals.
Your typical prospect could take weeks— if not months—to compare multiple providers online before making a final decision. That’s why we deploy fast, effective remarketing campaigns across display, paid social, and native to ensure the widest reach with your warmest prospects, no matter where they are on the web. We use time on page and scroll depth triggers to create warmer remarketing audiences and increase frequency against these pools. What’s more, we buy directly with a DSP without healthcare industry restrictions to allow the broadest reach possible for remarketing audiences.
Keywords are the fundamental building blocks of your PPC strategy. Excellent keyword coverage ensures visibility on all relevant veterinary terms, while robust negative lists and match type management reduce spend against irrelevant queries. We’ll also segment keywords by intent, so that the most relevant experience can be delivered to the end user. Ultimately, we strive to fully understand the patient journey to inform user-centric messaging across each and every touchpoint.
We can deploy funnel-based nurture strategies for more complex, high acuity patient journeys—including remarketing to patients. We view the customer journey from a holistic, 360-degree angle, enabling us to nurture relationships and build a better brand experience for audience members at each stage of the funnel.
Most PPC agencies spend the lion’s share of their resources on pre-click optimization. Not us. We dedicate time and resources to optimize the post-click experience, too, because we know it’s just as important to a successful PPC campaign. We ensure the entire patient journey is optimized for conversions, including your post-click landing page, to inspire meaningful action across each of your audience segments.
I'm so pleased and grateful to see the collaboration within the team, the work being accomplished, and the results that we are achieving together. 400+ animal hospitals is a lot to scale marketing for but between the Cardinal + SVP teams we have grown lead volume while lowering CPL over the last 3 years together.
