Where patients leak

Common gaps in San Jose functional medicine marketing

  • Claims that cross a line

    Wording that suggests a cure or treatment of a disease, or that overstates supplements or testing, creates compliance and trust problems on websites and ad platforms.

  • Cost and format questions

    Many practices use longer visits, lab work and membership or self-pay models. Patients who cannot find out how this works before they call often move on.
