Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize exclusively in chiropractic practices — it’s our primary focus and where our systems deliver the strongest results. We also serve medical spas and functional medicine clinics, as these practice types share similar patient acquisition and retention challenges.

Our niche focus means every system, strategy, and piece of content we create is built specifically for how your type of practice operates. We understand patient psychology, seasonal trends, competitive landscapes, and the regulatory considerations unique to healthcare marketing.

Unlike generalist agencies that serve restaurants one day and law firms the next, our team lives and breathes practice growth. We know what offers convert best, which ad platforms deliver the highest-quality patient leads, and how to position your practice as the authority in your market.

This specialization allows us to move faster, deliver more relevant strategies, and benchmark your performance against real data from similar practices across the country. When you work with us, you’re getting a team that already understands your business — not one that needs to learn your industry on your dime.

Unlike most marketing agencies that sell disconnected services — a website here, some ads there, maybe a social media package — we use proprietary systems that are designed to work together as a unified growth engine for your practice.

Our systems include ChiroAuthority (authority-building websites), ChiroAdsMax (high-performance paid advertising), ChiroRank Pro (search engine optimization and local visibility), PatientSurge (patient acquisition campaigns), and PatientCopilot (AI-powered CRM and communication platform). Each system is purpose-built for chiropractic practices and engineered to compound results when used together.

We believe in strategy before tactics. Before we run a single ad or write a single blog post, we develop a clear marketing plan based on your practice goals, your market, and your competitive landscape. This means every dollar you invest is working toward a defined outcome — not just generating activity for activity’s sake.

We also limit the number of clients we work with per market, so your investment is never competing against itself. The result is a marketing partnership that feels like having an in-house growth team, not just another vendor sending monthly reports.

Most clients see meaningful results within 60 to 90 days of launching their campaigns. However, the timeline depends on the marketing channels involved and your starting point.

Paid advertising — including Google Ads and Meta Ads — can begin generating patient leads within the first two to four weeks. These campaigns are optimized continuously, so performance typically improves each month as we refine targeting, offers, and ad creative based on real data.

SEO and organic visibility follow a longer timeline, generally building momentum over three to six months. This includes improvements to your Google Business Profile, local search rankings, and website authority. While slower to start, organic channels deliver some of the highest-quality and most cost-effective leads over time.

The key advantage of our integrated approach is that long-term growth compounds month over month. As your website authority increases, your ad costs decrease. As your review count grows, your conversion rates improve. As your CRM automates follow-up, fewer leads fall through the cracks.

We set clear expectations during your strategy call and provide regular reporting so you always know exactly where things stand and what’s driving results.

Onboarding starts with a strategy session where we take the time to understand your practice, your goals, your competitive market, and your current marketing situation. This conversation sets the foundation for everything we build.

From there, our team gets to work building your marketing infrastructure over the next two to four weeks. This includes designing and developing your website, setting up ad accounts, configuring your PatientCopilot CRM, building automation workflows for lead follow-up, and creating your initial campaign assets.

During this phase, we handle the heavy lifting — but we’ll need your input on key details like your practice story, staff photos, service descriptions, and any specific offers you want to promote. We make this as easy as possible with a guided onboarding questionnaire and a dedicated point of contact.

Once your infrastructure is in place and everything has been reviewed and approved, we launch your campaigns. From day one of launch, you’ll have access to your PatientCopilot dashboard where you can track leads, manage communications, and see performance data in real time.

Our goal is to get you live quickly without cutting corners, so your marketing starts working from the moment we turn it on.

We offer flexible agreements starting with a four-month initial commitment. This timeframe gives our systems enough time to be properly built, launched, and optimized to deliver real results for your practice.

Marketing is not an overnight process. It takes time to build a website, launch ad campaigns, optimize for search engines, and let data accumulate so we can make informed adjustments. A four-month window ensures we can demonstrate measurable progress and build the momentum your practice needs.

After the initial four-month commitment, your services continue on a month-to-month basis with no long-term lock-in. You stay because the results justify the investment, not because you’re trapped in a contract. We believe that’s how a healthy client relationship should work.

Most of our clients stay with us well beyond the initial period because the results compound over time. The longer your systems run, the stronger your online presence becomes, the lower your cost per lead drops, and the more predictable your patient flow gets.

If you ever need to adjust your plan or pause services, we make that process straightforward and transparent. Our goal is to earn your business every month.

Our marketing programs are structured into three plans designed to match different practice sizes and growth goals.

The LeadGen Plan starts at $1,997 per month and is built for practices looking to establish a strong marketing foundation. It includes one offer campaign and targets 10 to 20 new patients per month. This plan includes your website, SEO, paid advertising management, CRM setup, and AI-powered follow-up.

The Growth Plan starts at $2,497 per month and is designed for practices ready to scale. It includes two offer campaigns and targets 20 to 30 new patients per month, with expanded advertising reach and more advanced automation workflows.

The RevMax Plan starts at $2,997 per month and is our most comprehensive program. It includes three offer campaigns and targets 30 to 40 new patients per month, with full-scale marketing across multiple channels and priority support.

All plans include a four-month initial commitment. Ad spend is separate and typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,000 per month minimum depending on your plan and market.

The best way to determine which plan fits your practice is to book a strategy call. We’ll review your goals, your market, and your budget to recommend the right starting point.

We limit the number of clients we take per market to avoid conflicts of interest. We will not work with your direct competitor in the same geographic area. This is a core part of how we operate and one of the reasons our clients trust us.

When you invest in marketing with The Leading Practice, your campaigns, your ad spend, and your strategy should be working exclusively for you — not competing against another client we also serve. Market exclusivity ensures that your investment is protected and your growth isn’t undermined by our own client roster.

Before taking on a new client, we evaluate the geographic overlap with our existing practices. If there’s a potential conflict, we’ll be upfront about it during your strategy call. We’d rather turn down business than compromise the results of a current client.

This approach also benefits you strategically. Because we’re not splitting our attention between competing practices in the same area, we can go all-in on dominating your local market — from search rankings to ad placements to review generation.

Market exclusivity is one of the key advantages of working with a specialized agency versus a generalist firm that takes anyone willing to pay.

We track the metrics that actually matter to your practice’s bottom line: new patient inquiries, booked appointments, cost per lead, return on investment, and Google search rankings. You get regular performance reports with clear, actionable data — no vanity metrics like impressions or likes that don’t translate to revenue.

Every client has access to their PatientCopilot dashboard, which provides real-time visibility into leads, calls, texts, form submissions, and appointment bookings. You can see exactly where your patients are coming from and how your marketing dollars are performing at any given moment.

In addition to dashboard access, we provide structured performance reviews that break down what’s working, what we’re testing, and what we’re optimizing next. These reports are designed to be easy to understand — we don’t hide behind jargon or cherry-picked stats.

Our approach to reporting is rooted in transparency and accountability. If something isn’t working, we’ll tell you and explain what we’re doing to fix it. If something is working well, we’ll show you how to double down on it.

The goal is to give you complete confidence that your marketing investment is generating a measurable return and driving real practice growth.

A strategy call is a free, no-obligation conversation where we learn about your practice, your goals, and your current marketing situation. It’s the first step in determining whether we’re the right fit for each other.

During the call, we’ll ask about your practice size, your target patient demographics, your current patient volume, and where you’d like to be in the next 6 to 12 months. We’ll also review what marketing you’ve done in the past — what worked, what didn’t, and where the gaps are.

Based on that conversation, we’ll share initial recommendations and explain which of our plans would be the best fit for your practice and market. We’ll also give you a realistic timeline for what results to expect and how our systems would work together to achieve your goals.

There’s no pressure and no hard sell. Our strategy calls are genuinely consultative — we want to understand your situation and provide value whether you decide to work with us or not. Many practice owners walk away with useful insights even if they’re not ready to move forward immediately.

If you’re curious about what growth could look like for your practice, a strategy call is the best place to start. You can book one directly from our website.

Our systems are designed to work together for maximum impact, and that’s where we deliver the best results. However, our LeadGen Plan is a great entry point that includes the core systems your practice needs to start generating consistent new patient flow.

The LeadGen Plan includes your ChiroAuthority website, ChiroRank Pro SEO, ChiroAdsMax paid advertising, PatientCopilot CRM and AI follow-up, and PatientSurge campaign management. These systems work together so that every lead is captured, nurtured, and converted as efficiently as possible.

We don’t sell individual services a la carte because disconnected tactics don’t produce consistent results. A great website without SEO won’t get found. Ads without a CRM will lose leads. SEO without a conversion-optimized site won’t turn visitors into patients. Each piece depends on the others to deliver the outcomes your practice needs.

That said, we understand that every practice has a different starting point and budget. The LeadGen Plan is specifically designed to be an accessible entry point that still delivers meaningful results. As your practice grows and your marketing budget expands, you can scale up to the Growth or RevMax plan to accelerate your trajectory.

We’re happy to discuss the best starting point during your strategy call.

PatientCopilot is our AI-powered marketing platform and CRM built specifically for chiropractic practices. It serves as the central hub for all your patient communication and marketing operations, replacing multiple software subscriptions with one integrated system.

With PatientCopilot, all your patient interactions — phone calls, text messages, emails, website chat, and social media messages — are centralized in a single inbox. This means no lead gets lost and your team can respond quickly from one place, whether they’re at the front desk or on the go.

The platform includes AI-powered follow-up automation that engages new leads instantly, even outside business hours. When a potential patient fills out a form or sends a message, PatientCopilot can respond within seconds, qualify the lead, and guide them toward booking an appointment — all without your staff lifting a finger.

Beyond communication, PatientCopilot manages your online reputation by automating review requests after patient visits, tracks your marketing performance with real-time dashboards, and provides appointment scheduling and pipeline management tools designed for healthcare practices.

PatientCopilot replaces the need for separate tools like a CRM, call tracking software, text messaging platform, review management tool, and chat widget. Everything lives in one system that’s specifically configured for how chiropractic practices operate and grow.

Yes — and websites are a core part of what we do. Every website we build is powered by our ChiroAuthority system, which means it’s not just a pretty design but a fully optimized conversion engine built to turn visitors into booked patients.

Our websites are custom-designed for your practice brand and identity. We don’t use generic templates or cookie-cutter layouts. Every page is crafted with intentional design, compelling copy, and clear calls to action that guide visitors toward scheduling an appointment.

From a technical standpoint, every ChiroAuthority website is SEO-optimized from the ground up, mobile-responsive across all devices, fast-loading for both users and search engines, and built with structured data that helps Google understand and rank your practice. We also integrate your website directly with PatientCopilot so that every form submission, phone call, and chat message flows seamlessly into your CRM.

We handle everything: design, development, copywriting, hosting, security, SSL certificates, and ongoing updates. You never have to worry about plugin updates, security patches, or site maintenance. Your website is actively managed as part of your marketing program.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or replacing an outdated site, our team builds websites that establish your practice as the trusted authority in your market and drive measurable patient growth.
