The Engagement

A new marketing engine, built end to end

From October 2021 to December 2024, Lakeview Health needed more than campaign tweaks — it needed a modern, measurable growth system. I owned the strategy and execution across search, paid media, analytics, conversion, and the website, while managing the freelancers, engineers, and integrations that made it run — and launching a brand-new sister facility, Koru Spring. Below is what was implemented, managed, and the results it produced.

The Proof

The data behind the turnaround

Lakeview Health's organic search visibility had been sliding for years. Technical SEO, content, and SERP-feature work reversed the decline and pushed visibility past its previous peaks.

Website Redesign

From dated template to a modern, converting site

Two full redesigns and CMS upgrades transformed the Lakeview Health website — clearer navigation, stronger brand presence, and a conversion-focused layout built for admissions.

Before

The previous site: a dated template, cluttered top navigation, and a low-contrast hero that buried the call to action.
After

New Brand Launch

Launching Koru Spring from the ground up

New Facility

An eating-disorder treatment brand, built to grow

Koru Spring — Lakeview Health's eating-disorder treatment center in Jacksonville, FL — needed a complete go-to-market strategy. I built the marketing plan, brand presence, website, and acquisition campaigns that took it from launch to a steadily climbing SEO and admissions footprint.

The result: a distinct, warm brand identity and a search presence that grew month over month from a standing start.
