Putting Patients First with 78% Increase in New Patient Acquisition

Industry: Digital Health
Client Name: Form Health

After years of stagnant growth, Fire&Spark delivered an SEO transformation for Form Health, achieving a 78% increase in patient acquisition. Our strategy centered on value-driven SEO tactics to build sustainable growth, boost visibility and establish Form Health as a trusted leader in the competitive digital health space.

The Challenge

Overview

Form Health, a telehealth provider offering physician-assisted weight loss programs, was struggling to gain traction in the competitive digital health market. Despite the demand for effective medical weight loss solutions, stagnant organic traffic was stalling patient sign-ups and leaving them overshadowed by larger competitors.

They needed a way to elevate their brand presence and reach patients searching for trusted, physician-led weight loss support. For Form Health, the challenge went beyond ranking in search results. They needed to deliver an online experience that empowered patients with education, clear information, and trusted guidance on their path to better health.

With their existing SEO efforts falling short, they realized that to stay competitive and relevant, they needed more than just rankings—they needed an SEO strategy focused on delivering real value to their patients. They sought Fire&Spark’s expertise to:

  • Deliver results in a way that reflects well on their brand image and strengthens their reputation in the industry.
  • Increase visibility on competitive and high-yielding search terms and traffic.
  • Provide their prospective and current patients with an honest, straightforward, and informative experience.
  • Establish trust with their healthcare audience to build industry credibility.

Their primary goal was to drive results without compromising on what matters most to healthcare audiences: trustworthy, credible information that genuinely improves lives.

Primary Challenges

  • Competitive Industry: Google holds content on health-related topics to exceptionally high standards, making the healthcare space particularly challenging to penetrate.
  • Content Credibility Gap: Their current SEO efforts were overly focused on keywords rather than delivering valuable expertise to prospective patients, resulting in superficial content that lacked real usefulness.
  • Lack of Authority: Without expert-led content on medical weight loss, Form Health struggled to establish the authority needed to rank and reach patients searching for trusted healthcare solutions.

Fire&Spark addressed these challenges by crafting an SEO strategy to deliver tangible business outcomes, including visibility, patient acquisition, and trust building.

The SEO Strategy & Implementation

To ensure our SEO efforts not only drive growth but also deliver real value to patients, we focused on creating content that educates, reassures, and builds trust. This led to our patient-centric SEO strategy.

The ultimate goal was to drive leads while providing value to patients.

Key Elements of the Strategy

  • Crafted SEO-optimized Q&A content tailored to common patient questions, addressing topics relevant to medical weight loss.
  • Added Q&A and informational content to existing landing pages, empowering patients with the information needed to make a healthcare decision.
  • Created a dedicated Q&A content hub that allowed patients to access reliable information, elevating Form Health’s online authority and increasing their chances of being featured in Google’s “People Also Ask” box and Featured Snippets.
  • Conducted in-depth research to identify the questions Form Health’s patients were asking when making medical decisions.
  • Targeted keywords aligned with these critical decision-making needs, attracting users who fit into Form Health’s patient journey.
  • Collaborated with medical practitioners to ensure the trustworthiness of Form Health’s Q&A content. This ensured that every piece of content was medically accurate, deeply informative, and aligned with patient needs, allowing Form Health to position itself as a credible, patient-first resource.
  • Partnered with healthcare experts to incorporate HIPAA-compliant methods across all content, ensuring it met the highest standards for patient safety.

Fire&Spark conducted continuous keyword research and added new Q&A content to anticipate patient needs, enhancing the telehealth provider’s reputation and credibility in a way that resonates with healthcare audiences and helps patients make informed decisions.

Each facet of our strategy was crafted to combine results-driven tactics with patient-oriented content, ensuring that Form Health could build trust in the industry while driving new patient acquisition.
