Can you bring in cash procedure patients, not just Medicare nail and callus visits?

Yes, and that is usually the whole reason practices call us. Routine foot care keeps your chairs busy but reimbursements keep shrinking. We build campaigns around the procedures that actually carry your margin: minimally invasive bunion correction, toenail fungus laser, shockwave and MLS laser for stubborn plantar fasciitis, and custom orthotics. We target people who are ready to pay out of pocket to fix a problem they have lived with for years.

Will this stop me from depending on physician referrals?

That is exactly what it is for. Instead of hoping a primary care office or endocrinologist remembers to send you diabetic feet this month, we put your practice directly in front of people already searching for heel pain relief, bunion treatment, fungus removal and ingrown toenail care in your area. You build a demand source you own, on top of the referrals you already get.

Do you understand the seasonality of podiatry demand?

Yes. Fungus and cosmetic foot searches climb as sandal season approaches, heel pain spikes when patients ramp up running and yard work, and routine diabetic care runs steady all year. We plan budget and creative around those swings instead of letting your cost per patient whipsaw month to month.

My fungus and bunion ads keep getting disapproved. Can you fix that?

Almost always, yes. Before and after foot photos, fungus close ups and surgical imagery trip Meta and Google health policy constantly. We know which claims and visuals get flagged in podiatry and how to write creative that earns the click without breaking the rules, so your account stays live instead of stuck in review.

What is the minimum monthly investment?

We recommend a minimum of $2,000/month in paid ad spend. Below that, the system does not gather enough booking data to optimize predictably for a procedure mix as varied as podiatry.

Do you require long term contracts?

No. Month to month, no setup fees. You stay because your chairs are filling with the right patients, not because a contract traps you.

The squeeze every DPM feels

You did not finish residency to debride nails for pennies.

Every podiatrist we talk to is fighting the same math. Medicare keeps trimming routine foot care. Hospital owned groups and big multi location practices buy up the referral pipeline. And the procedures that actually pay, bunion correction, fungus laser, shockwave, orthotics, sit underused because the patients who need them never hear your name. Here is what we hear on the first call.

Reimbursements keep shrinking

Your routine care volume is high and your margin per visit is low. You need cash procedures to carry the practice, but they are the hardest patients to find on your own.

You live on other people's referrals

Primary care, endocrinology and ortho decide how busy you are. When their habits change or a competitor courts them, your schedule pays for it.

Patients wait years to act

People limp on a bunion or hide a fungus toenail for a decade before they search. When they finally do, the practice that shows up first wins the case, not the best surgeon in town.

How it works

A podiatry growth system, not a service.

Most agencies run generic "foot doctor ads" and hand you clicks. We built a predictive system that does one thing: deliver booked patients with real foot and ankle problems and the intent to treat them, on repeat, without you depending on referrals.

Intent capture by procedure

We separate the searches that look alike but pay nothing alike. Someone Googling "bunion surgery without a big scar," "laser for toenail fungus near me" or "shockwave for heel pain" is a different patient than a routine callus visit. We bid for the ones that move your margin.

Right patient filter

A funnel that pre frames the visit, addresses the quiet fears, surgery, pain, embarrassment about how the foot looks, and surfaces patients ready to be seen this week. The ones who book actually show up.

Compliant creative that stays live

Fungus close ups, before and after surgery photos and diabetic wound imagery get accounts flagged fast. We write and design ads that earn the click while passing Meta and Google health policy, so your campaigns run instead of sitting in review.

Seasonally tuned, booked on your calendar

We push fungus and cosmetic demand ahead of sandal season, lean into heel pain when activity ramps up, and keep diabetic and routine care steady year round. The only KPI that counts: patients in the chair, fitted, scheduled and treated.
