Where patients leak
Three leaks we look for in Portland
Claims that cross a line
Wording that suggests a cure or treatment of a disease, or that overstates supplements or testing, creates compliance and trust problems on websites and ad platforms.
Cost and format questions
Many practices use longer visits, lab work and membership or self-pay models. Patients who cannot find out how this works before they call often move on.
How it works
Booked, Reassured, Clicked: the first steps in Portland
Every step is measured, so we can show where Portland patients are found, lost or booked. These are the steps we would put first.
Booked
The first visit lands on your calendar, is confirmed by text and is reminded before the appointment, with intake steps sent ahead.
Reassured
A fast website with your practitioners' training, how a first visit works, your fee structure and what testing is and is not included.
Clicked
Google Ads aimed at the consultations you want to grow, sent to pages that explain the approach.
The whole method is on the functional medicine marketing page.
Fit
Is this a fit for your Portland practice?
A good fit
- You want Maps work, ads and your website handled by one team
- You can take more patients and have first-visit slots to fill
Probably not a fit
- You expect marketing that claims to cure or treat diseases
- You want a promised ranking or a promised patient count
FAQ
Functional Medicine marketing in Portland: questions
Is my practice too small or too big for this?
We build the program around your capacity and goals. A Portland practice with one location and a practice with several both start with the same audit.
Do you work with practices in Oregon?
We work with practices across the United States. We do not yet list an Oregon practice on our client wall, so we would build your Portland program from our method rather than from a local example.
Can you take on a functional medicine practice in Portland?
Start with the strategy call. We review your market and answer that directly, with no pressure to sign.
Do I need to meet you in person?
Not at all. Practices in Oregon and elsewhere work with us over video, phone and shared dashboards.
Do you protect patient privacy?
We build with HIPAA-aware processes. We keep patient health details out of ad platforms and website forms and use a business associate agreement where a vendor handles protected health information.
