New patients fell to 53, while inbound calls remained at 104. Opportunity records increased to 63, but existing-patient activity accounts for much of that volume. Google Ads results cover the Beeliar campaign; Meta results cover the shared account across both clinics.
Patient acquisition softened.
September was below both August and September last year. Prioritise outstanding appointment requests and understand why enquiries do not progress to a booking.
More CRM records do not mean more new patients.
43 opportunity records are labelled existing patients and 11 are labelled new patients. Keep routine care and administration separate when evaluating acquisition.
Protect the demand already reaching the clinic.
Six calls were missed, compared with two in August. Callback ownership and daily follow-up are immediate improvements reception can control.
Patient labels and pipeline stages need alignment.
In September, five records labelled new patients were in the existing-patient stage. Check labels and stages regularly so acquisition enquiries receive the right follow-up.
Beeliar search costs need attention.
Search clicks fell faster than spend, pushing the cost per click higher. Review search relevance and the enquiries that progress to bookings before increasing the budget.
Cheaper traffic and better outcomes are different goals.
Meta’s website traffic campaign delivered landing-page visits at $0.47 each, compared with $1.02 for the rebate campaign. Assess offer relevance and booking interest alongside visit cost.

Call discussion
Close the missed-call follow-up gap.
With call volume unchanged, the lower answer rate points to a handling gap rather than greater demand. Confirm callbacks for all six missed calls and review when they occurred to identify reception cover needs.
