The strategy

 Our strategy to enhance Soliant’s online presence involved creating a series of campaigns that captured the media’s attention, reaching a broad spectrum of media outlets locally and on a larger national scale.

One of the primary objectives of these campaigns was to secure high-quality backlinks to Soliant’s education and healthcare pages. We aimed to significantly improve authority and SEO visibility for the website and its focus areas. 

Simultaneously, our teams wanted to improve Soliant’s keyword rankings in search engines.

By strategically incorporating and optimizing specific keywords across the site, the aim was to amplify page visibility in search results and increase relevancy for search engine users. We designed these dual strategies to fortify Soliant’s online presence and strengthen its position in the backlink landscape and search engine rankings.

 

Our solution

Our Digital PR and Content Marketing teams created and executed three highly successful campaigns for Soliant over six months. These garnered considerable attention from the media and elevated Soliant’s brand recognition and visibility, heightening public awareness of their services and expertise.

Campaign #1: The most inclusive school playgrounds

For the first campaign, our Digital PR and Content Management teams aimed to recognize schools that exceeded basic accessibility standards through inclusive playgrounds catering to various needs. 

Examples of these inclusive features included braille for visually impaired students and sensory-rich structures for those with developmental disabilities.

We spoke to Soliant’s vast community of speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, sign-language interpreters, teachers of the visually impaired, and other school support members to learn more about inclusive play. Utilizing their expertise, we identified the top ten United States schools with the best inclusive playground facilities based on several important factors. These included:

  • Utilization of inclusive playground design core principles
  • Quantity and quality of play features offered
  • Any unique inspirations behind the development, funding, or naming of the playground

As part of our research, our teams were able to speak with the schools directly, which unveiled the heartwarming narratives behind these playground designs.

This campaign strategy embraced both a regional and national approach. Our Digital PR team curated media lists, encompassing every relevant news publication within the featured playgrounds’ respective states, which served as the foundation for our outreach. After the launch of this campaign, we achieved outstanding results, receiving 40 high-quality backlinks and media coverage for Soliant Healthcare. 

We had remarkable results for our efforts:

  • Garnering an estimated 668,000 views on social channels
  • TV coverage on NBC stations
  • Reaching a combined audience of 278 million people

As a leading agency for school health jobs, Soliant applauds the collective efforts of educational systems, organizations, companies, and communities in developing these playgrounds. The company celebrates its commitment to ensuring equal opportunities for all students to play, learn, and grow together.

 

 

Campaign #2: The most beautiful hospitals in the United States

Soliant was on a mission to find the “heart behind the hospital” in this second campaign. We asked the public to vote for the top 20 most beautiful hospitals in the USA – whether that be the people, the program, or the architecture. Our team organized this campaign from nominations to the winner’s announcement.
All 50 states participated in the nomination stage, where our teams thoughtfully crafted individualized press releases for each state, highlighting hospital colleagues’ heartfelt submissions. The public got to vote for their chosen hospital, leading to an eagerly anticipated winner announcement.

  • Securing 67 backlinks
  • Reaching a combined audience of 1.2 billion individuals
  • Achieving an estimated 5.03 million views on social channels
  • Receiving media coverage on WKRG News, The Daily Review, Becker’s Healthcare News, and more

Campaign #3: The best states for mental health support

 

For their third campaign, Soliant aimed to gain a deeper insight into the disparities in mental health support within communities and schools nationwide. Our Digital PR and Content Marketing teams compiled a thorough report highlighting a range of metrics. These included:

  • The frequency of bad mental health days
  • Availability of mental health services
  • Suicide rates among individuals 15-24
  • Unemployment rates
  • Incidents of violent crime
  • Access to exercise opportunities

To highlight our findings, we created press releases with both national and state-specific perspectives, targeting our high-priority media outlets, which provided exceptional results:

  • Earning an impressive 91 backlinks
  • Achieving media coverage in Fox News, Forbes, and CNBC

  • 19% increase in organic traffic
  • The “school healthcare jobs” category page on their site has moved up 39 positions on Google
  • 1,450 keywords have moved an average of 11 positions on Google
