Why Cost-Per-Lead and Cost-Per-Surgery Matter If you spend money on marketing your practice every month, do you know your average cost-per-lead and cost-per-surgery? Do you track these statistics every month or once in a blue moon? If gathering these statistics seems like time-consuming busywork for your staff…think again. Investing in marketing efforts such as… Website design and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics Email marketing Traditional radio and internet radio advertising Traditional print advertising And others… …without tracking their results…is like skating on thin ice. Your message may reach the intended target on the other side of the pond smoothly or it may tumble into an icy abyss. But you’ll never know. By continually gathering specific data points, you can keep track of your cost-per-lead and cost-per-surgery statistics which may identify problem areas in: The effectiveness of your advertising message and medium The real value of your website Your staff’s abilities to “sell” your services to potential patients For example, if your cost-per-lead is high, you may need to completely revamp your external marketing strategies. If your cost-per-surgery is high, you may need to have your staff trained on sales techniques to better convert consultations to surgeries.
