Where patients leak

Three leaks we look for in Fort Wayne

  • Listings that show the wrong hours

    Holiday hours, changed hours and closed locations on Google and directories send patients to a locked door. Wrong hours cost visits and reviews.

  • Competing with every nearby clinic and hospital

    Clinics, retail health and hospital-run urgent care share the same map results. Review count, distance and clear services decide who gets the tap.

Do you work with practices in Indiana?

We work with practices across the United States. We do not yet list an Indiana practice on our client wall, so we would build your Fort Wayne program from our method rather than from a local example.

Not at all. Practices in Indiana and elsewhere work with us over video, phone and shared dashboards.
