Is the marketing working, and what should happen next?

Real figures from two healthcare accounts I managed, redrawn to show how I read them.

Are the right people finding the practice?

My read The listing is first despite a much smaller review count than the practice below it. I’d treat that review-volume gap as a competitive vulnerability worth watching.

My read Traffic increased, but page depth appears weaker: users and sessions rose while views fell.

My read Without leads and consults, the report could show reach but could not connect it to new patients.

Action, documented in the report I flagged the gap, asked the practice to fill in the scorecard, and set out the coming month’s focus.

Where I’ve worked

How I operate

Start with the business question. Find the signal, pick the few changes worth making, coordinate the people who make them, and check whether they moved anything.

Let’s work together.

I’m exploring marketing roles, contract work and select consulting. Based in Portland, Oregon, and open to remote or Portland-area hybrid.
