The microsite employs search engine optimization and paid search keywords to improve Dartmouth-Hitchcocks visibility and to draw patients into the microsite as they search Google for local and regional treatment options. Dartmouth-Hitchcock has received more than 175 quality leads during the campaign so far; some of which have converted into surgical procedures such as hip and knee replacements and shoulder repairs.
