How it works

Clicked, Reassured, Booked: the first steps in New York

Patients move from search to appointment in six steps. Here are the ones we would start with in New York.

  • Clicked

    Google Ads timed to your open hours and aimed at services patients search for, such as x-rays, stitches, sick visits and sports physicals, sent to matching pages.

  • Reassured

    A fast mobile website with each location's hours, services, insurance accepted, self-pay information and a clear note on when to call 911 or go to an emergency room instead.

  • Booked

    Patients reserve a visit time or check in online, confirmed by text with the location address.

The whole method is on the urgent care marketing page.

Where patients leak

Common gaps in New York urgent care marketing

  • Demand that spikes by day and season

    Volume rises with flu season, school sports and weekends. Marketing that is steady and unmeasured over-spends in slow weeks and misses the busy ones.

  • Competing with every nearby clinic and hospital

    Clinics, retail health and hospital-run urgent care share the same map results. Review count, distance and clear services decide who gets the tap.
