A local Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) provider wanted to generate more private-pay phone call leads without increasing its advertising budget.

The campaign gave the NEMT company more opportunities to receive direct inquiries from people actively searching for its services while keeping total ad spend at $610 for the reporting period.
For this project, the acquisition journey was:
