Project Summary:
In collaboration with The Senior Life, a community-focused website for adults 55 and older, I developed an in-depth, SEO-driven Medicare guide. Designed to educate, engage, and boost search performance, this guide combined clear, long-form written content with strategically placed micrographic visuals to create a seamless and impactful user experience.
Medicare Guide Overview
The Senior Life, a website fostering a community for adults over 55, sought to create a user-friendly and informative Medicare guide for their active and engaged audience. Our team collaborated to develop an engaging guide, which included crafting clear and concise written content and strategically incorporating micrographic visuals throughout to break up long-form text and enhance visual interest. To streamline navigation and user experience, we implemented chapter links, allowing users to quickly navigate to specific sections of the guide based on their needs, eliminating the need to scroll through the entire piece.
Content Strategy and Development
The primary goals were to empower seniors with knowledge and confidence when making informed choices about their future Medicare decisions, expand The Senior Life’s audience, and increase user engagement within their already-established community. By providing accessible information in an engaging, interactive format, we empower users to easily navigate Medicare and connect within The Senior Life’s vibrant online space.

To meet these goals, the content strategy focused on delivering clear, actionable information through a mix of long-form content and micrographics to break up complex topics. Key elements of the content strategy included:
- Comprehensive, Engaging Content: Crafted detailed and accessible information, demystifying Medicare for the target audience.

While specific metrics remain confidential, the strategy emphasized maximizing on-page engagement, boosting search performance, and delivering measurable business value through data-driven, long-form content.
The development of The Senior Life’s comprehensive Medicare Guide demonstrates my ability to create engaging, informative, and user-centric long-form content tailored to specific audience needs. By blending clear writing with strategic visuals and a focus on accessible, in-depth information, the guide not only simplified complex topics for readers but also supported The Senior Life’s goals of increasing engagement and expanding their community presence. This project highlights my expertise in content strategy, audience-driven design, and impactful communication, skills I am eager to apply to future initiatives that require creative, data-informed content solutions.
