The Challenge

A 25-year-old healthcare practice with zero marketing infrastructure:

Digital Presence Crisis

  • Website mobile speed: 3 out of 100
  • Under 500 monthly visitors
  • Zero leads from website
  • Only 12 keywords ranked

Reputation Issues

  • Google rating: 3.4 stars
  • Only 34 total reviews
  • Negative reviews outweighed positive
  • No review generation system

No Infrastructure

  • No marketing department in 25 years
  • No CRM or customer database
  • No lead tracking system
  • No lead nurturing process

Profitability Problems

  • Google Ads ROAS under 1.0 (losing money)
  • Helmets priced below cost ($2,100)
  • No financing options
  • Inconsistent pricing structure

Bottom Line: Quality care, zero ability to attract patients systematically.

Key Takeaway

In healthcare, you need three things:

  1. Systems (CRM, lead tracking, processes)
  2. Reputation (reviews drive appointments)
  3. Profitability (fix pricing before scaling marketing)

We built all three—and the results followed.
