Our Story

Our Story

"The Leading Practice is a chiropractic-focused marketing company built around structured systems, strategic execution, and long-term practice growth."

The Leading Practice was built to solve a common problem in chiropractic marketing: disconnected tactics that fail to produce consistent growth. Most practices are sold individual services that look good on paper but do not work together in the real world. We take a different approach.

Our team builds structured marketing systems designed to attract the right patients, convert interest into appointments, and support long-term retention. We work exclusively with chiropractic practices and design everything around how clinics actually operate.

From websites and paid advertising to automation, follow-up, and reputation, each component is intentionally connected so growth is predictable and measurable. Our focus is not short-term wins or vanity metrics. We help practices build a foundation for sustainable growth through clarity, structure, and execution that compounds over time.

Michael Smith

Michael Smith

Founder

Michael Smith founded The Leading Practice with a clear mission: to help chiropractic practices grow using marketing systems that actually work in the real world. Having personally experienced the impact of chiropractic care, Michael developed a deep respect for the profession and the role it plays in improving patients’ lives.

His expertise spans SEO, high-converting chiropractic websites, Google Maps optimization, targeted advertising campaigns, social media strategy, email marketing, paid search, and integrated automation systems. But what truly sets Michael apart is his commitment to understanding the unique challenges that chiropractors face when trying to attract and retain patients in competitive local markets.

Before launching The Leading Practice, Michael spent years studying what separates thriving chiropractic offices from those that struggle to fill their schedules. He discovered that most marketing agencies treat chiropractic practices the same as any other small business, using generic strategies that fail to connect with the patients who need care the most. That realization became the foundation of The Leading Practice’s approach: every campaign, every website, and every automation is built specifically for the chiropractic industry.

Michael leads a team of specialists who share his passion for delivering measurable results. Under his guidance, The Leading Practice has helped dozens of chiropractors across the country increase their new patient volume, improve their online visibility, and build sustainable growth systems that work month after month. He believes that great marketing should feel like an investment, not an expense, and he holds his team to that standard on every project.

When he is not refining marketing strategies or reviewing campaign performance, Michael stays closely connected to the chiropractic community, attending industry events and building relationships with the practitioners he serves. His hands-on leadership style ensures that every client receives the attention and expertise they deserve.
