Bradford Medical Supply Background

This Ecommerce website has been the main source of advertising and sales for a small medical supply rental and sales company in the bay area of Northern California. Their business is very simple: they rent, deliver and sell hospital beds, electric scooters, lift chairs, wheelchairs and power wheelchairs and other assorted medical equipment.

Bradford Medical Supply is First Page Search Engine Optimization's most successful search engine optimization in terms of best overall rankings for a number of reasons. Primarily the site has attained a number one in the world ranking for the keywords that have found to generate the most clients and therefore revenue for the company. This optimization has saved the company about $6000 $/year in Google Adwords fees as they have drastically reduced their Adwords budget.

The reason BMS decided to maintain an Adwords program is that theie average sale is about $400; which is exactly how much the spend on the adword budget every month. $400 for about 400 click on the website. Clearly it make sense to have an auster program such as we do because the is a considerable return on investment.

The number 1 ranking in the organic section of Google and other search engines preclude the need to spend that money. The search engine optimization analytics analysis confirms this view unequivocally. To verify this for yourself tpye the keyword phrases from above lists to see how Bradford Medical Supply is ranked for the keyword phrase chosen.

Ranked Number 1 or 2 in the world for Google for the broad three keyword phrase "hospital bed rental". Ranked Number 13 in the world for Yahoo for the broad three keyword phrase "hospital bed rental". Results like this are an indication of one of two things.

Ranked Number 1 or 2 in the world for Google, Yahoo and Bing for the broad three keyword phrase "lift chair rental". The same comments are echoed for the broad three keyword phrase "lift chair rentals".

Table 2 - 11/6/2010 Google - Search Engine Ranking Pages Results

Ranked #9 in Google and #3 Yahoo for the broad keyword phrase "electric scooter rental". This keyword phrase has proven difficult to get higher than a ranking of 9th. "Electric scooter rental" is an extremely competitive business with locations all over the country and the world. With those considerations in mind 9th and 3rd are very good rankings.

Ranked Number 2 and 3,in Google and Yahoo respectively for the broad keyword phrase "medical supply rental and its plural "rentals". It turns out that most people who buy from BMS do not search on the broad keyword phrase "medical supply Rentals". This is an area that would produce more sales in the medical supply area and is of interest in expanding by current management. These key words need more focus and optimization. With proper optimization maintenance rankings usually increase over time.
