The Brightspot solution for Healthgrades

With Brightspot, Healthgrades can efficiently manage multisite publishing and robust content syndication from a single authoring tool, making it possible to simultaneously serve the needs of advertisers, media partners, and consumers. Project highlights include:

  • The Smart Selector functionality, which gives Healthgrades the ability to serve branded and unbranded editorial content to third-party sites seamlessly while dynamically managing traffic goals.
  • Extensive taxonomies and a Brightspot-developed content prioritization list that make it possible for Healthgrades to deliver targeted and relevant content across platforms based on a user’s activity and preferences.
  • The ability to dynamically and automatically control content parameters, enabling Healthgrades to closely monitor performance indicators, maximize revenue and more easily incorporate A/B testing.
