About Me
C-Suite Differentiator
-
Executive Profile
I’m Rick Cruz, a former CPA, CFO, and COO with experience at two mid-sized, multi-office law firms and a digital marketing company. With over 30 years of executive leadership experience, I approach your Google advertising from a different perspective – YOUR PERSPECTIVE. This is a massive differentiator.
-
Bridge Builder
I serve as a link between digital marketing experts and your executive leadership, making sure that your substantial marketing investment translates into measurable bottom-line results. This ensures your Google Ads strategy isn’t a “siloed” marketing effort but is instead a core component of your company’s financial performance in support of your short and long-term growth goals.

Beyond Digital
Many healthcare providers incorporate faith-based elements. How could they not? Not only do I serve at my local church, but I maintain a hospital ministry as a volunteer pianist. I believe filling the hospital atrium with music helps heal the soul and prayer fosters hope and physical healing.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a High-Stakes Market
In the world of Emergency Room care, every second counts—and in the world of Google Ads, every click does, too. While AI has transformed how we reach patients, deploying it without expert oversight is a recipe for wasted spend and missed opportunities. Your facility needs a dedicated specialist to bridge the gap between machine learning and effective healthcare marketing.
-
Human Sensitivity and Care
Emergency care involves delicate, personal situations. AI can optimize for conversions, but it cannot grasp the emotional weight of a patient’s crisis. We ensure your messaging remains compassionate and professional while adhering to Google’s strict healthcare advertising policies and ethical standards with a level of nuance that an algorithm simply cannot replicate.
-
Avoiding Costly Errors
ER-related keywords are some of the most expensive in digital advertising. Relying solely on AI to test and optimize these keywords can result in costly, irrelevant clicks. Our team carefully monitors search terms to prevent AI from directing traffic toward unintended audiences, ensuring your advertising budget targets true potential patients in need of your services.
-
Interpreting Data for Strategic Action
You need a partner who can interpret complex AI data and translate them into clear, actionable insights aligned with your goals. We help your team understand the “why” behind the performance, ensuring your team stays informed and confident in our trajectory.
-
Interpreting Data for Strategic Action
AI is a powerful engine, but it shouldn’t be the driver—especially when your reputation and bottom line are on the line. We provide the strategic expertise necessary to maximize your Google Ads investment. Let’s ensure that when a patient searches for help, your ER is the first—and most trusted—result they see.
