Every chiropractor knows the challenge: you need new patients, but which marketing channels actually deliver the best return on investment? In this revealing conversation with Scott Desgrosseilliers from Wicked Reports, we dive deep into the often-misunderstood world of marketing attribution and how it can transform your practice's growth strategy.
Scott introduces us to the concept of "reverse funnel math" - a practical approach to determining what you can realistically afford to spend on patient acquisition. Rather than relying on vague promises of ROI, he explains how to work backward from your average patient value to create sustainable marketing campaigns. What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Scott's emphasis on targeting specific pain points rather than generic chiropractic services.
Through concrete examples, Scott demonstrates how creating campaigns for distinct demographics - like pickleball players with elbow pain or CrossFit enthusiasts with lower back issues - dramatically improves conversion rates. He shares practical wisdom on crafting ads that resonate deeply with potential patients: "If I'm online and have that pain point, you already demonstrate that you get my problem more than just 'oh, I know a chiropractor can help me.'"
Perhaps most eye-opening is Scott's breakdown of patient value analysis. While many practices track basic metrics like cost per lead, Scott explains how to measure the actual revenue generated by different patient segments over time. This approach often reveals surprising insights - like discovering that one type of injury might generate three times the revenue of another, allowing you to shift your budget accordingly.
For practitioners with limited marketing budgets, Scott offers a pragmatic roadmap: start by optimizing internal marketing through email campaigns to existing patients, then focus external efforts on a single channel with condition-specific landing pages. He even shares a fascinating tip about leveraging Reddit to improve visibility in AI tools like ChatGPT, which derived approximately 5% of its training data from the platform.
