You're seeing patients every day. Your new patient pipeline is still too dependent on referrals and luck.

01
Referral-Dependent With No Direct Search Presence
Most podiatry practices get new patients through primary care referrals — and that's a pipeline you don't control. Patients searching "foot doctor near me" or "plantar fasciitis treatment [city]" right now are ready to book today. If your practice isn't showing up in the Google Map Pack for those searches, you're invisible to the highest-intent patients in your market.
02
Losing New Patients to Orthopedic Groups With Bigger Budgets
Large orthopedic groups and hospital-affiliated practices invest heavily in digital marketing. Their websites rank, their Google profiles are fully built out, and their review counts are in the hundreds. As an independent podiatrist, you can't match their budget — but you can outmaneuver them with smarter local SEO targeting the exact conditions you treat.
03
No Systematic Strategy for Building Reviews
Your patients are satisfied — but they're not leaving reviews at anything close to the rate that builds the social proof that drives new patient decisions. A podiatry practice with 12 Google reviews loses every comparison to a competitor with 180, even when your care is better. Without a systematic, HIPAA-compliant review ask at the follow-up appointment, your rating stays flat while competitors pull ahead.
How it works

From Invisible to Fully Booked in 90 Days

We build a direct new patient pipeline for your podiatry practice — so the phone rings from Google, not just from referral pads.

Step 01

We Audit Your Online Presence — Free

Free 20-minute strategy call. We review your Google Business Profile, your Map Pack ranking for "podiatrist near me" and condition-specific searches in your city, your Healthgrades and Zocdoc profiles, your current review score and volume, and how your profile compares to the top 3 competitors in your market. You'll leave with a clear picture of exactly where new patients are going instead of to you.

Step 02

We Build Your Growth Engine in 30 Days

We fully optimize your GBP with every condition you treat — bunions, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, diabetic foot care, ingrown toenails, custom orthotics, and more. We build out your Healthgrades, Zocdoc, and Vitals profiles with "accepting new patients" prominently set. We deploy a HIPAA-compliant review acquisition system that captures patient feedback at the follow-up appointment — the exact moment satisfaction is highest.

Step 03

You Get Patients. We Keep Improving.

Live dashboard tracking new patient inquiries, review velocity, and your Map Pack position. Monthly strategy call to review what's working and where to push next. We respond to every review within 24 hours on your behalf. As your ranking improves and reviews accumulate, your presence compounds — new patients find you first, and choosing you becomes easy.

★★★★★

"I was seeing 9 new patients a month, almost all of them referrals from two family practice doctors. AVBOOST optimized my Google profile, built out my Zocdoc listing properly, and put a review system in place at checkout. Four months later I'm averaging 31 new patients a month and more than half of them found me directly on Google. The practice has completely changed."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?

Pricing depends on how competitive your market is and how much profile and review work your practice needs upfront, with monthly plans starting around the level of a single new patient's first-visit value. There are no contracts, no setup fees, and no annual commitment. You give 30 days' notice to cancel, and that's it. We'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in one.

How long until I start seeing more new patient appointments?

The first 30 days go to building your foundation: optimizing your Google Business Profile, building out Healthgrades, Zocdoc, and Vitals, and deploying the review system at follow-up visits. Map Pack ranking and review velocity build from there. Most podiatry practices begin seeing more direct inquiries within 30 to 60 days, with results compounding as your ranking climbs and reviews accumulate.

What exactly do you do for my podiatry practice each month?

We fully optimize your Google Business Profile across every condition you treat, from bunions and plantar fasciitis to diabetic foot care and custom orthotics. We build and maintain your Healthgrades, Zocdoc, and Vitals profiles, run a Map Pack ranking campaign for your city, deploy a review request system at follow-up appointments, respond to every review within 24 hours, and send a monthly report tracking new patient inquiries.

How is AVBOOST different from big agencies or doing this myself?

Big agencies hand independent podiatrists a junior account manager and generic templates built for any business. Doing it yourself means squeezing local SEO between patient visits and never finishing. We specialize in local search for practices like yours, targeting the exact conditions you treat and the searches patients actually use. You get a focused system run for you, not a dashboard you have to operate alone.

Is your review acquisition HIPAA-compliant, and can you really compete with the big orthopedic groups?

Yes. Our review system asks for feedback at the follow-up appointment without ever exposing protected health information, so you build social proof the compliant way. You won't outspend hospital-affiliated orthopedic groups, and you don't need to. We win by targeting the specific foot and ankle searches in your zip codes, where focused local SEO typically outmaneuvers a bigger but broader competitor.

What's the first step to get started?

Book a free 20-minute strategy call. We audit your Google Business Profile, your Map Pack ranking for searches like foot doctor near me and your top condition terms, your Healthgrades and Zocdoc profiles, and your current review score against the top three competitors in your market. You leave that call knowing exactly where new patients are going instead of to you, with no obligation to continue.
