How patients find and choose you

The healthcare marketing funnel.
Seven steps, one journey.

Every stage is a place patients can be lost. We look at the whole path—not just the ads at the top.

Journey map

Understand

Explain services, credentials and practical information in plain language.

What we designApproved information architecture
Who owns the next stepStudio drafts; client approves factual information.
Tested before it is accepted

A demo that works once
is not a system.

Every journey we implement is tested against what goes wrong in real life, with a named owner for each case.

Test 01

A duplicate enquiry arrives

It is merged and the person is contacted once, by one owner.

Test 02

The requested slot, item or date is unavailable

The person is told honestly and offered the nearest real alternative.

Test 03

A message fails to send

The failure is logged and a named person follows up another way.

Test 04

The assigned staff member is on leave

The enquiry is reassigned automatically to a named back-up.

Test 05

The customer opts out

Automated messages stop at once and the opt-out is recorded.

Test 06

A price, offer or detail changes

Every channel is updated from one source, and old offers are withdrawn.

Measurement with context

Track the next action.
Not a convenient assumption.

Proposed measureHow it should be interpreted
Correctly routed enquiriesAgreed source and qualification criteria; remove duplicates.
Response timeClient team records the actual next action, not merely a click.
Recorded appointment handoffsUse available operational records; do not infer an outcome from traffic.
Resolved administrative issuesReview status and cancellations where relevant; document attribution gaps.
