Creating Authority + Expertise in the Competitive ABA Arena
For years, Gateway Pediatric Therapy has delivered quality ABA services in metro Detroit. As it was growing — at the time 12 locations, in areas around Michigan — so was its competition. Gateway stood out for the helpful autism content it published. It wanted to harness its expertise to offer insight to more parents who might be in need of its services.
Consolidating + Strategically Promoting Powerful Content
Gateway’s experts were featured in educational content for four years. These 35+ stories, run by regional parenting expert Metro Parent, were consolidated into an SEO-focused pillar page, increasing its organic search power. The stories and brand were also promoted with marketing including email, retargeting, digital and print ads, and social media.
Powerful Branding in Both New + Existing Locales
Gateway Pediatric Therapy’s marketing netted 4.09 million impressions in a year. The heaviest traffic came from digital ads — 46% of which was aimed at ZIP codes in high-growth Michigan regions — and retargeting content viewers. Its content saw 20,800+ pageviews on MetroParent.com, with 273 hours spent on page. Its newsletters drew a nearly 18% view rate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Growth + Awareness
Drawing key eyes to your marketing helps build trust and, ultimately, convinces people to do business with you. Here are answers to some common questions.
What is geotargeting?
Geogargeting is honing in on a specific audience based on a business’ brick-and-mortar geographic location. This could include ZIP codes, metropolitan areas or even entire states or multi-state regions. Another method is creating a radius (5, 10 or 20 miles, for example) around a specific business location.
This helps ensure your message is reaching an audience within the exact area you want. Further details, such as demographics and behaviors, can help you fine-tune even more.
Geotargeting is available in many marketing methods, including digital ads, social media and email marketing.
What is audience retargeting?
Retargeting serves digital ads to people who visited your website but didn’t take action — filling out a form or buying a product, for example. These ads target those visitors again when they’re browsing other websites, apps or social media feeds. Email marketing also has methods that can retarget people who clicked on a link but didn’t take action.

How does having a pillar page improve SEO rank?
A pillar page is a robust webpage on a certain topic. It links to various articles that drill deeper into that topic and give more detail. Pillar pages help your SEO rank in a few key ways:
- They’re centered around keywords
- They boost time and engagement on page
- They’re full of relevant content and links
All of this is valuable in Google’s “eyes,” and can raise your visibility. Learn more about the impact of pillar pages here.
