How it works

Booked, Clicked, Answered: the first steps in Richmond

The full method has six steps. Below are the ones that matter most when starting out in Richmond.

  • Booked

    Patients reserve a visit time or check in online, confirmed by text with the location address.

  • Clicked

    Google Ads timed to your open hours and aimed at services patients search for, such as x-rays, stitches, sick visits and sports physicals, sent to matching pages.

  • Answered

    An AI front desk answers calls and chats after hours and during rushes, answers common questions about hours and services and points patients to online check-in.

The whole method is on the urgent care marketing page.

Where patients leak

Where urgent care practices in Richmond lose new patients

  • Demand that spikes by day and season

    Volume rises with flu season, school sports and weekends. Marketing that is steady and unmeasured over-spends in slow weeks and misses the busy ones.

  • 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.

Fit

When we are, and are not, the right partner

A good fit

  • You will share your hours, your services, the insurance you accept and your self-pay pricing
  • You want steady patient volume across your locations, not a one-time website refresh

Probably not a fit

  • You want a promised ranking or a promised patient count
  • You are looking for the cheapest possible monthly fee
