    A calculator is a starting point. Your prescription is the plan.

    The Diagnostic Call replaces every assumption above with real numbers from your Google Business Profile, website analytics, and current close rates. You leave with a written 12-month growth plan — whether or not you decide to work with us.

    Methodology

    Booked appointments per month = inquiries × booking rate. New patients per month = booked × show rate. First-visit revenue = patients × revenue per new patient. Twelve-month LTV revenue = patients × lifetime value. ROI multiple = LTV revenue ÷ monthly spend. Break-even patients = monthly spend ÷ patient LTV.

    Questions

    About marketing ROI for medical practices

    The standard formula is (patient lifetime revenue attributed to marketing − marketing spend) ÷ marketing spend. Most practices under-count the return because they only look at first-visit revenue and ignore recall, referrals, and lifetime value. This calculator uses your inquiries-per-month, booking rate, show rate, and average patient LTV to estimate the full picture — first-visit revenue, 12-month LTV revenue, and the ROI multiple against your monthly marketing spend.

    A common industry benchmark is five to ten percent of gross revenue reinvested into marketing — closer to five percent for established practices with a strong referral base, and closer to ten percent (or more) for practices in growth mode, opening new locations, or competing in saturated markets like dental, vision, and LASIK. We set the specific number during the Diagnostic Call after we look at your current visibility, your funnel gaps, and how aggressively you want to fill the schedule.

    Google Ads and Google Business Profile work typically produces measurable lifts in calls and booked appointments within thirty to sixty days. Local SEO and content compounding usually moves rankings in months three through six, with the strongest ROI gains in months seven through twelve as the Foundation phase builds on itself. That is why every Louisville Web Lab engagement runs on a three-month MSA followed by a twelve-month Growth and Strategy Roadmap.
