Your Marketing Budget Isn't Working Because You're Not Tracking the Right Data

Season 3 · Episode 23

Friday, August 15, 2025 • Duration 25:01

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.

Ready to transform how you think about marketing attribution? This episode provides the blueprint for creating data-driven campaigns that not only bring in new patients but attract the right patients for sustainable practice growth.

Why Leads Ghost You (And How to Fix It)

Season 3 · Episode 22

Friday, August 8, 2025 • Duration 22:11

Does this sound familiar? You're spending money on ads, generating leads who eagerly share their contact information—and then they completely ghost you. Worse yet, when your team follows up, they get the dreaded "STOP" text. It's frustrating, expensive, and entirely fixable.

The disconnect happens because most practices fundamentally misunderstand the psychology of digital leads. That person who opted in for your $49 special was experiencing a moment of curiosity or desperation—not making a commitment. By the next day, their pain may have subsided, and your automated follow-up sequence feels like just another sales pitch in their inbox.

I break down the exact reasons your leads aren't responding, starting with the most common mistakes: texting too soon, using obvious templates, sounding sales-focused instead of service-oriented, lacking urgency in your messaging, and giving up after minimal follow-up attempts. The marketing landscape has evolved beyond the "text within 5 minutes" rule that worked a few years ago. Today's potential patients need a more thoughtful, human-centered approach.

The solution requires reframing your entire conversion process. Instead of measuring success solely by booked appointments, focus first on starting meaningful conversations. I walk through how to create personalized automation sequences that feel like helpful assistance rather than pushy sales tactics. You'll learn specific messaging techniques, proper follow-up cadence across multiple channels, and how to train your team to handle these leads with the right mindset.

I also dive into improving your landing pages with authentic video content, properly presenting your value proposition, and creating micro-commitments that build momentum toward booking. Whether you're struggling with Facebook leads or Google ads, these strategies will transform your office into a lead conversion machine.

Your Waiting Room Is a Missed Marketing Opportunity

Season 3 · Episode 21

Friday, August 1, 2025 • Duration 35:29

Have you ever considered what your patients are absorbing while sitting in your waiting room? In this eye-opening conversation with Greg Zoldy of ChiroMedia, we explore the often-overlooked power of internal marketing in chiropractic practices.

Greg shares his compelling journey from nearly tanking a successful practice to developing a revolutionary digital signage solution that transformed his patient communication. After watching his weekly visits plummet from 150 to 60, he realized it wasn't his technique that needed improvement—it was his ability to effectively deliver the chiropractic message consistently across all patient touchpoints.

What emerged from this struggle was ChiroMedia, a digital signage app that creates what Greg calls "the adjustment before the adjustment." This strategic system uses well-placed screens throughout the office to prepare patients mentally, educate them about chiropractic principles, and reinforce key messages as they leave. The genius lies in its ability to deliver consistent communication even when you're too busy for lengthy one-on-one discussions.

We dive deep into how this technology works across different practice models, whether you're subluxation-focused, pediatric-centered, or pain-based. Greg explains how the system allows for customization to match your specific philosophy while maintaining professional, engaging content that competes for attention in our scrolling-obsessed world. For multi-location practices, the platform offers streamlined management across all offices from a single dashboard.

Perhaps most valuable is the way digital signage creates opportunities for patient questions, allowing even introverted practitioners to shine when responding to specific inquiries rather than initiating conversations. It's the missing piece that bridges your external marketing efforts with the actual in-office experience.

Handshakes Beat Hashtags: Community Strategies for Million-Dollar Practices

Season 3 · Episode 20

Friday, July 25, 2025 • Duration 22:48

Are you obsessing over likes, clicks, and funnels while overlooking what truly builds a thriving chiropractic practice? In this eye-opening conversation, we explore why grassroots marketing strategies remain the most powerful trust-building tools for chiropractors, even in our digital-first world.

The data doesn't lie: 92% of people trust recommendations from people they know over any form of advertising. Face-to-face interactions convert at rates digital marketers can only dream about. While many new practitioners jump straight to Facebook ads and Instagram, they're missing what successful chiropractors have always known - community connection creates the foundation for sustainable practice growth.

We dive deep into the five most effective grassroots strategies that still build million-dollar practices: networking like a boss, hosting workshops, community screenings, strategic partnerships, and educational talks. Each approach costs significantly less than digital marketing campaigns while yielding higher-quality leads and patient relationships. You'll discover practical ways to implement these strategies into your weekly routine, even if you're an introvert who prefers hosting small gatherings over large networking events.

For practitioners feeling the financial squeeze or looking to optimize their marketing budget, these grassroots approaches offer the highest return on investment. The secret lies in consistency, authenticity, and being genuinely valuable to your community. While digital marketing builds awareness, grassroots builds trust - and in healthcare, trust is everything.

Ready to blend old-school relationship building with strategic digital marketing? Discover how to use Meta ads to amplify your in-person events, leverage email nurturing sequences, and create authentic content from your community involvement. Don't wait any longer to reclaim the lost art of face-to-face marketing that built our profession from the ground up.

Embracing the AI Revolution in Your Chiropractic Practice

Season 3 · Episode 19

Friday, July 18, 2025 • Duration 30:20

The digital marketing landscape has undergone a radical transformation, and if you've felt your practice marketing struggling lately, artificial intelligence is likely the culprit—and your potential savior.

This eye-opening exploration of AI's impact on chiropractic marketing cuts through the confusion to deliver actionable insights for practices facing declining lead quality and rising acquisition costs. The truth? AI isn't some distant future technology—it's already embedded in everything from your Gmail account to Facebook ads, Google search results, and even the Canva graphics you create.

Google's new AI overviews are fundamentally changing how patients find healthcare information, often answering their questions before they even click on a website. If your practice isn't contributing to these AI-generated responses, you're essentially invisible to potential patients. Similarly, Meta (Facebook) has silently shifted its entire advertising infrastructure to AI-driven algorithms, explaining why many chiropractors have seen their once-reliable ad campaigns falter since early 2024.

But this isn't just about understanding the problem—it's about seizing the opportunity. Discover how successful practices are leveraging AI tools to automate content creation, personalize patient communications, and optimize ad targeting. Learn practical strategies for modifying your ad copy to work with AI systems rather than against them, and explore how specializing your messaging around specific conditions yields better results than generic chiropractic advertising.

Whether you're a tech enthusiast or reluctant adopter, this episode provides a clear roadmap for navigating the AI revolution in healthcare marketing. The practices that adapt now will establish a competitive edge that late adopters will struggle to overcome. Stop fighting against the machines and start putting them to work for your practice growth.

The One SEO Tool Every Chiropractor Is Overlooking

Season 3 · Episode 18

Friday, July 11, 2025 • Duration 17:52

Discover the powerful yet overlooked marketing tool that's hiding in plain sight for every chiropractor—your Google Business Profile. Despite being completely free and taking less than 15 minutes to optimize, this digital asset is frequently neglected, costing practices valuable new patients every day.

The statistics are eye-opening: a staggering 90% of potential patients check your Google Business Profile before deciding whether to contact your office. It functions as the modern equivalent of the yellow pages, billboard, and website preview combined into one powerful platform that directly influences your search visibility, map rankings, and voice search results. Yet in our regular consultations with practices nationwide, we consistently find profiles that are incomplete, outdated, or missing key optimization elements.

Google's algorithm prioritizes three factors when determining local search rankings: relevance, distance, and prominence. While you can't control your physical location, you have direct influence over the other two factors through strategic profile optimization. A well-crafted profile should include a comprehensive keyword-rich description (approaching the 750-word limit), current high-quality photos, a complete service listing, enabled messaging features, and consistent information across all web platforms. Perhaps most critically, you should actively solicit patient reviews that mention specific conditions you treat—these keyword-rich testimonials significantly boost your relevance for those searching for help with similar issues.

Ready to transform your practice's online visibility? Download our free checklist from the episode description or email info@enricod.com to receive a complete optimization guide. Then spend just 15 minutes updating your profile to start attracting more calls, more clicks, and more patients to your practice. Your community needs the care you provide—make sure they can find you when they search.

What You Don't Repair Will Repeat: Dr. Mel Krug on Personal Growth

Season 3 · Episode 17

Friday, July 4, 2025 • Duration 26:41

Taking a pause from traditional marketing advice, this powerful conversation with Dr. Mel Krug explores the deeper personal patterns that may be blocking your practice growth and business success.

Dr. Krug shares her transformative journey from rugby injury to chiropractic revelation, explaining how childhood experiences before age 10 often create unconscious patterns that manifest in our business challenges. Her powerful insight—"what we don't repair, we repeat"—illuminates why many chiropractors find themselves stuck in frustrating cycles despite implementing numerous marketing strategies.

Through her AAA methodology (Awareness, Acknowledgment, and Acceptance), Dr. Krug demonstrates how confronting our shadows and wounds becomes the pathway to discovering our greatest superpowers. She specifically addresses the "broke healer paradigm" prevalent among chiropractors—the tendency to provide abundant healing while struggling to charge appropriately for services. This disconnect between service and sales often stems from deeper beliefs about worthiness that require conscious rewiring.

The conversation takes us through her seven areas of life assessment (physical, mental/emotional, social, familial, vocational, financial, and spiritual), showing how these interconnected domains influence our practice growth. Perhaps most profound is her observation that "the very thing you're seeking exists in the very thing you're avoiding"—a paradox that explains why our greatest growth opportunities often hide within our deepest wounds.

If you've tried numerous marketing tactics without sustained success, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on why internal work must precede external strategies. Your frequency and energy ultimately serve as your most powerful marketing tools—but first, you must heal what's holding you back.

Lead Quality Crash: Why Meta Ads Fail and What to Do About It

Season 3 · Episode 16

Friday, June 27, 2025 • Duration 25:23

Have your Facebook ads suddenly stopped delivering quality leads? You're not alone, and it's not your imagination. In this raw, tactical episode, we dive deep into the seismic shift happening with Meta advertising that's left practice owners frustrated and wondering where their marketing ROI went.

The problem isn't your ad creative or your offer – it's Meta's aggressive pivot to AI-driven ad delivery that's fundamentally changed how audiences are targeted. While leads still come in, they're increasingly disengaged, distracted, and overwhelmed by automation from countless businesses using identical follow-up tactics.

I break down exactly what's changed behind the scenes at Meta and why using AI-generated ad copy has created a feedback loop of "robotic English" that fails to connect with real humans. The harsh reality? 60-80% of today's Meta leads never book on the first touch, regardless of how compelling your offer is.

The solution requires a complete overhaul of your lead engagement strategy. You'll learn my battle-tested "Epic Nurture Sequence" that transforms lukewarm leads into patients through persistent, multi-channel follow-up. We cover exactly what to say in those crucial first 15 minutes after lead submission, how many calls your team should make (hint: it's probably 5x what you're doing now), and why doctor-recorded videos and voicemails are game-changers for building instant trust.

For practices feeling the squeeze of declining lead quality, this episode delivers actionable systems you can implement immediately to stay ahead of the curve. Whether you stick with Meta or pivot to Google ads, you'll understand exactly how to combat AI with AI while maintaining the human touch that converts disinterested scrollers into engaged patients.

Stay competitive in Q3 2024 with these proven strategies from someone who's in the trenches with you, running ads and optimizing conversions for practices nationwide. Your marketing ROI depends on it.

Meta Ads Evolution: What's Working in 2025

Season 3 · Episode 15

Friday, June 20, 2025 • Duration 19:04

Meta advertising isn't dead—it's evolved, and chiropractors who understand these changes can still dominate their local markets. The platform has shifted dramatically toward AI-powered campaign structures, requiring a fundamental rethinking of how we approach Facebook and Instagram marketing for healthcare practices.

The most significant change is the transition to Advantage Plus (formerly known as CBO) and the reduced effectiveness of manual targeting. Meta's AI now reads your ad copy to determine audience targeting—when you specifically mention "moms with back pain" or "men with sciatica," the platform uses these keywords alongside its vast data collection (175 points per user!) to find your ideal patients. This means crafting the right message has become more important than trying to nail down the perfect audience targeting.

Short-form video has reclaimed its crown as the most effective content format. Patient testimonials, adjustment demonstrations, and direct-to-camera talks addressing specific pain points perform exceptionally well when kept under 60 seconds. The first three seconds are crucial—you need a powerful hook to stop scrollers, along with captions and a clear call to action. For maximum effectiveness, run 3-5 short videos under one ad set and let Meta optimize delivery automatically.

The quality of your leads depends heavily on your offer clarity. Vague promotions like "Come in for an exam" are being outperformed by specific, tangible offers: "$99 new patient special: exam, digital posture scan, and report of findings." The platform now offers a combined approach—sending some prospects to lead forms and others to your landing page based on their behavior patterns, giving you leads from both quick-action takers and those who need more information.

For established advertisers, retargeting has become 2025's gold mine. After running ads for a while, focus on warm traffic—people who have watched your videos, engaged with your content, or visited your website. These audiences convert at significantly higher rates when approached with testimonials and educational content that builds on their existing awareness of your practice.

Ready to see better results from your Meta ads? Turn on Advantage Plus, create scroll-stopping videos with clear offers, and focus on crafting messages that resonate rather than chasing the perfect audience settings. Subscribe to our podcast for next week's episode on converting these leads into long-term patients through SMS and email automation.

From Cold Clicks to Committed Patients: The Facebook Lead Transformation Guide

Season 3 · Episode 14

Friday, June 13, 2025 • Duration 25:13

Are your Facebook leads ghosting you before they even walk through your door? You're not alone. After watching lead quality decline steadily over the past 18 months, we're breaking down exactly what's changed and—more importantly—how to fix it.

The truth about Facebook marketing isn't pretty: you're dealing with ice-cold prospects who need careful nurturing to transform into committed patients. Those $29 new patient specials that worked years ago are now attracting tire-kickers and fake phone numbers instead of quality patients. The solution isn't getting more leads—it's getting the right ones.

This episode reveals the exact formula successful chiropractors are using to pre-qualify Facebook leads before they ever book an appointment. You'll discover why your landing page matters more than your ad copy, how to structure your funnel to filter out low-intent prospects, and the specific follow-up sequences that dramatically improve show-up rates. Plus, you'll learn why those "thanks but no thanks" responses actually mean you're doing something right.

Beyond tactical advice, we explore how building a robust lead database within your geographic area creates long-term practice value. When one practice sent a single email to 7,000 local contacts about new equipment, they generated 44 new patients overnight—proving that even leads who don't immediately convert remain valuable assets.

Whether you handle your own marketing or work with an agency, this episode provides the framework to transform your Facebook lead generation from a frustrating money pit into a reliable patient acquisition channel. Email info@enricod.com for the complete checklist to implement these strategies in your practice today.
