Three measures

The formulas we report against.

Cost per acquired patient

Acquisition spend ÷ new patients

Reconcile advertising, agency and campaign costs against new patients recorded by your practice.

Return on marketing investment

(Attributed gross profit − marketing cost) ÷ marketing cost

Use collected revenue and your practice’s margin to assess the return after marketing costs.

Enquiry-to-appointment rate

Booked appointments ÷ qualified enquiries

Track the same enquiry cohort through follow-up and booking, with a consistent reporting period.

Questions

Straight answers.

Something else? Ask the team directly.

What’s the difference between cost per lead and cost per acquired patient?

Cost per lead divides spend by enquiries. Cost per acquired patient divides spend by the new patients your practice actually records — the number that matters for return.

What data do I need to calculate ROI?

Your marketing spend for the period, the qualified enquiries it produced, how many became booked appointments, and the collected revenue and margin for those patients.

Can you calculate it for my practice?

Yes. Start with the ROI calculator, or bring your records to a free consultation and we’ll connect the numbers with you.

Why choose us

Why healthcare brands choose us.

Six reasons hospitals, clinics, and doctors pick a healthcare-only firm over a generalist agency.

  • Healthcare-only

    It's all we do. No retail, no fintech — the whole team thinks in patient journeys, clinical trust, and the way people actually choose a doctor.

  • AI-first systems

    Receptionists, WhatsApp triage, and attribution built in-house — we answer patients in seconds and tie every click to a booked appointment.

  • Compliance built-in

    HIPAA-aware handling, ASCI-reviewed creative, and GDPR/DPDP sign-off on every campaign — our standard, not an upcharge or an afterthought.

  • Senior on every account

    The senior who pitched you stays on the engagement. No bait-and-switch to juniors learning on your budget.

  • Measured to the appointment

    Patient-level attribution across calls, forms, and walk-ins. Monthly reports show booked patients — not just clicks and impressions.

  • Receipts, not promises

    We name our clients and show the work. Quarterly reviews with the numbers attached, every cycle.

Putting Your investment, measured against your records into practice

Read ROI examples as calculations with explicit inputs. Check which costs are included and whether the outcome represents enquiries, attended appointments or collected revenue. Use your own figures to reproduce a scenario before applying it to a budget decision. A plausible example does not establish the return another practice will achieve.

Choose the resource that matches your next decision

Begin with the question you need to answer, then choose the most appropriate destination in this collection. A guide explains a method, a checklist supports a repeatable review, a calculator explores assumptions and a case file documents a particular engagement. Reading them as interchangeable resources can create confusion. If you need to brief a supplier, start with the relevant service or framework. If you need to assess evidence, start with the source reports and the limits stated alongside the example.

Use the collection to narrow the investigation rather than adding every possible task to a marketing plan. Identify the stage where progress is blocked: discovery, understanding the service, making contact, arranging an appointment or following up. Choose a resource that addresses that stage and keep a short note of the evidence you need. A focused review is easier to act on than a long list of unrelated recommendations, particularly when clinical approvals and operational changes involve different people.

Apply the material to your own practice

Document the local conditions before adopting an example. Include the service mix, available clinicians, languages, appointment process and existing digital assets. A method used by a hospital network may need to be simplified for a solo practice; a single-clinic process may need explicit location ownership when used by a chain. Keep those adaptations visible in the brief. The resource provides a way to organise the work, while your own records establish whether its assumptions fit.

Assign a person to each next action and define how completion will be checked. Editorial tasks need content and approval ownership, technical tasks need a release review and measurement tasks need a named source account. Keep evidence attached to the relevant decision instead of relying on a general claim that the programme is performing well. Revisit the plan when the service, market or operational capacity changes.
