Emotional Triggers
Patients seek relief from chronic pain and a return to an active lifestyle. Messaging should focus on restored mobility, independence, and quality of life, rather than just the procedure itself.

What We Know About Marketing Knee & Hip Replacement
The landscape for knee and hip replacement marketing is complex, requiring a nuanced approach that addresses patient concerns, navigates competitive markets, and adheres to strict regulatory guidelines. Understanding the patient journey and leveraging digital channels effectively are paramount.
Why Agencies Fail
Most agencies fail by treating orthopedic practices like generic businesses, lacking understanding of HIPAA compliance, long patient decision cycles, and the need for procedure-specific, outcome-based reporting.
The Buying Journey
The patient journey is often long (weeks to months), starting with online research for symptoms and treatment options, involving multiple touchpoints, insurance verification, and often requiring nurture sequences before booking.
The Decision Maker
While the patient is the primary decision-maker, family members often play a significant role in research and support. Referrals from PCPs are still important, but direct-to-patient marketing is increasingly vital.
Common Objections
Patients often object due to cost concerns, fear of surgery, recovery time, and uncertainty about outcomes. Addressing these with clear information, testimonials, and transparent processes is crucial.
Great Ad Elements
Effective ads highlight restored function, patient success stories, surgeon expertise (board certifications), clear calls to action, and address common pain points. Visuals showing active, happy patients are highly impactful.

Hear a real lead call — 4 minutes after the form was submitted
This is what happens the moment a parent fills out the form. Our team calls within minutes, qualifies the lead, and books them straight into the consultant's calendar.
Our Secret Weapon
The Activation System — what happens to leads that don't book straight away
Most agencies stop when a lead doesn't pick up the phone. We don't. Our CRM tracks every single lead and keeps working on them until they either book or tell us they're not interested. This alone recovers 20–30% of leads that would otherwise go cold.
1
Lead comes in — called within 5 minutes
Every new lead gets a call from our team immediately. If they pick up, we qualify and book. If not, the sequence starts automatically.
2
Automated text within 2 minutes
"Hi [name], it's Jessica from [clinic] — I just tried calling you. When's a good time to chat?" Personalised, not spammy.
3
Follow-up calls at 1 hour, 24 hours, 72 hours
We call three more times over the next 3 days. Different times, different days. Most leads that convert do so on the 2nd or 3rd attempt.
4
Email nurture sequence — 7 days
If they still haven't booked, they go into a 7-day email sequence. Educational content, social proof, and a soft invitation to book. No pressure, just presence.
5
Monthly re-engagement for cold leads
Leads that went cold 30, 60, or 90 days ago get a re-engagement message. "Still struggling? We have a spot open this week." This alone books 4–6 extra consultations per month.
What the Activation System adds — real numbers

Every lead tracked, tagged, followed up100%
The honest truth: Most of the difference between getting 8 bookings a month and 28 bookings a month isn't the ads. It's what happens after the lead comes in. The Activation System is why our numbers hold up where other agencies fall flat.
Inside Our CRM
Every lead has a stage. Every stage has a follow-up. Nothing gets forgotten.
This is what your pipeline looks like inside our CRM. Every enquiry that comes in gets a stage, a value, and an automatic follow-up sequence. You can see exactly where every lead is at any time.
