The Challenge

What Was Holding Them Back

The Manchester market for cardiac rehabilitation is dense. This practice had the skills but didn't have the pipeline. Walk-ins and referrals couldn't fill the schedule. They needed predictable patient flow from digital — and they needed it fast.

1Competitors were spending 3-4x more on ads and outranking them everywhere
2Their website didn't mention half the cardiac rehabilitation procedures they actually offered
3WhatsApp inquiries went unanswered for hours — sometimes days
4Only 5 reviews, all older than 6 months
5No content strategy. Not a single blog post or patient education page.
Our Approach

The Strategy

We built a patient acquisition system — not a campaign. Website + SEO for visibility, conversion-optimized pages to capture demand, and automated follow-up so no lead slipped through.

We treated patient acquisition like a pipeline problem. Top of funnel: targeted Website to generate awareness. Middle: educational content that builds trust. Bottom: streamlined booking + sub-5-minute response times.

Execution

How We Executed — Phase by Phase

Month 1

The Teardown

Figured out where the leaks were

  • Full audit: website, ads, reviews, rankings, competitors — the works
  • Found that 65% of ad budget was going to non-converting keywords
  • Rebuilt the site's service pages from scratch with booking CTAs
  • Connected all lead sources to a single CRM dashboard
  • Launched targeted Website campaigns on proven-intent terms
Month 2-4

System Build

Put the patient acquisition machine together

  • Published procedure-specific content for every cardiac rehabilitation service
  • Review generation running — hitting 10+ new reviews per week consistently
  • Response time under 5 minutes on all channels (WhatsApp, phone, form)
  • Monthly referral conversions already up 80% from starting point
  • Started seeing organic traffic compound — 40% month-over-month growth
Month 5-8

Compounding Returns

Less spend, more patients. The math started working.

  • Cost per patient dropped from £280 to £90
  • Rankings locked in for 15+ cardiac rehabilitation keywords
  • Retargeting campaigns brought back 20% of unconverted visitors
  • Practice hit 90% utilization for the first time in 2 years
  • Started geographic expansion campaigns into adjacent markets
Month 9-12

Full Throttle

Growth target hit. System self-sustaining.

  • 220% growth in referral conversions
  • 45+ reviews — reputation is now a competitive moat
  • 3.8x ROI and climbing
  • Practice hiring additional staff to keep up with demand
  • Marketing isn't a cost anymore — it's the growth engine

“There was a point where I was worried about the future of this practice. We're good at what we do, but patients couldn't find us. Now we're at capacity and I'm interviewing new doctors. That's a problem I'm happy to have.”
Dr. Andrew Clark
Lead Cardiac Physiologist · Cardiac Rehab Centre, Manchester
Insights

Key Takeaways

Google Business Profile is the front door

For cardiac rehabilitation searches in Manchester, 60%+ of first interactions happen through the GBP listing — not the website. Optimizing it was the single highest-ROI move.

Cost per patient is the metric that matters

We drove cost down from £280 to £90. Revenue per patient stayed the same. That margin difference funded the entire marketing program and then some.

Full schedule = different problems

Once patient flow became predictable, the practice shifted focus to efficiency, upsells, and expansion. That's what a real patient acquisition system does — it moves the bottleneck forward.
