Marketing for practices, measured in new patients.
Not clicks. Patients who book and come back.
Your LTV:CAC, in patient terms.
Patient value
What a patient is worth over the years.
Booking rate
How many inquiries become appointments.
Cost per new patient
The one target every dollar answers to.
Where practice growth stalls.
Platform and privacy rules
Ad policies and privacy rules limit targeting and tracking for health businesses.
Bookings that never show
Appointments that never happen look good in a report and cost real money.
The wrong treatment mix
Volume flows to low-value services while the treatments you want to grow stay flat.
Patient value and the right treatment mix
Practices grow on patients who show up, accept treatment, and come back. A new patient for a one-time service and a new patient for a multi-year treatment plan are worth very different amounts, so they should never share a cost target.
We plan around patient value by treatment, booking and show rates, and the most you can pay for a new patient in each service line. That shifts budget toward the treatments you most want to grow, instead of whatever brings the cheapest inquiries.
Privacy rules and tracking
Health businesses face stricter rules on tracking and targeting than almost any other category. Ad platforms limit how health topics can be targeted, and privacy rules like HIPAA shape what information can be shared with them.
We set up tracking designed to keep protected health information out of ad platforms, using outcome signals that don't expose who a patient is or what they were treated for. Your team decides what can be shared, and we build measurement that still shows which campaigns bring patients who show.
Search for high-intent treatments
People searching for a specific treatment, near them, are close to booking. Paid search and local SEO put your practice in front of them.
- Campaigns split by treatment and patient value, so high-value services get the budget
- Location pages and Google Business Profiles for each office
- Treatment pages that answer the real questions: cost, recovery, candidacy, and what to expect
Medical content is held to a higher standard by Google, so pages need clear clinical review and accurate information to rank.
Paid social for elective care
For elective treatments like aesthetics, cosmetic dentistry, and plastic surgery, many patients aren't searching yet. Paid social reaches them earlier.
It works when the offer is clear, the creative shows real outcomes within platform rules, and follow-up is fast. Elective inquiries cool quickly. We judge social on consultations that show and treatments accepted, because cheap inquiries from social can look great until you check the calendar.
Reviews and reputation
Patients compare practices on reviews before they call. Reviews move map rankings, click-through from search, and how many inquiries turn into bookings.
We help your team build a steady, compliant review process after visits and monitor ratings across locations. A practice with more recent, detailed reviews usually pays less for every new patient, because more of the people who see it choose to call.
From booking to show
A booked appointment that never happens costs the same as one that does. No-shows and cancellations quietly raise your true cost per patient.
We report on shows, not just bookings, and break show rate out by campaign and source. Some channels bring patients who keep appointments. Others don't. Moving budget toward the first group is often worth more than any change in ad performance.
Multi-location practices
Groups with several offices need each location measured on its own. Patient value, competition, and capacity differ from one market to the next.
We plan budgets by location and service line, so a busy office isn't flooded with patients it can't see while another sits half empty. New locations get a launch plan with their own targets, so you know quickly whether a market is working.
What a practice should see every month
Practice owners don't need a dashboard of clicks. They need to know whether marketing is filling chairs with the right patients at a cost that works.
- New patients who showed, by treatment and location
- Cost per new patient against your target for each service line
- Show rate and treatment acceptance by source
- Patient value by source, so you see which channels bring patients who stay
Those numbers tell you where to spend the next dollar. Clicks, impressions, and booking requests are tracked too, but they sit underneath the numbers that pay the bills.

Questions
Do you follow healthcare privacy rules?
Yes. We set up tracking to keep protected health information out of ad platforms, and we work with your team on what can and can't be shared.
Which practices do you work with?
Dental, med spa and aesthetics, chiropractic, physical therapy, plastic surgery, and specialty clinics.
Do you measure bookings or shows?
Shows, and the value of the treatment that followed. A booking is a step, not the result.
Do you run paid social for med spas and aesthetic practices?
Yes. We run it within platform health policies and judge it on consultations that show and treatments accepted.
Can you work with multi-location groups?
Yes. We plan and report by location and service line so each office has its own targets.
Do you write medical content?
We build treatment and location pages with your clinical team reviewing for accuracy. Nothing medical publishes without your approval.
