For “hospital rostering software”

Page one in Australia, ahead of generic rostering apps

Shown as a percentage of the earlier period.

Enquiries are website form submissions in Core Schedule’s lead sheet, October to December 2025 compared with July to September 2025, the quarter the new website launched. Organic clicks are Google Search Console clicks, July to September 2026 compared with the same months of 2025. The ranking is a live Google search from Australia on 9 October 2026.

These are enquiries, not closed deals. Hospital buying decisions take weeks to months.

The challenge

Complex software.
Busy buyers.
A long sales cycle.

Core Schedule is workforce rostering software built for healthcare: hospitals, emergency departments, junior doctor allocations, radiology and rural health services across Australia and New Zealand.

Its buyers are rostering managers and health service leaders who research for weeks before they talk to anyone, so the website and search had to do the early selling.

01

Generic rostering apps crowd the search

Searches for rostering software are full of retail and hospitality tools. Hospital buyers needed to find software built for clinical rosters.

02

Every department rosters differently

Emergency, ICU, radiology and junior doctor rotations each have their own rules. One features page couldn’t speak to all of them.

03

A long road from click to contract

Hospital deals take weeks to months. The site had to capture interest early, with an easy way to see the product.

The approach

A website that sells the software.
Search that finds the buyers.

01 / The website

Rebuilt for
hospital buyers.

We designed and built a new WordPress site around the way health services buy: client logos and outcomes up front, features by department, and a clear path to see the product.

02 / SEO

Two new pages
every month.

Pages for the searches hospital buyers make: hospital rostering, emergency department, radiology, junior doctor and clinical rotation software.

03 / Google Ads

Australia and
New Zealand.

Search campaigns for healthcare rostering terms in Australia, a dedicated New Zealand campaign, and ads pointed at feature pages rather than the homepage.

04 / Measurement

From enquiry
to closed deal.

Website enquiries matched against Core Schedule’s sales pipeline, so each channel is judged on the deals it contributes to, not just clicks.

A few common questions

Before you
take the next step.

Yes, if the pages match the exact searches buyers make. Core Schedule targets hospital and clinical rostering searches rather than generic rostering, and ranks fifth in Australia for “hospital rostering software”.

Enquiries are only the start. For Core Schedule we matched website enquiries against the sales pipeline, so each channel is judged on the deals it contributes to.

Usually not. Ads tend to convert better on a page that matches the search, so Core Schedule’s ads point at dedicated feature pages.

They can. Core Schedule’s case studies and new client announcements bring in a large share of its search clicks outside the homepage.
