The 5-step framework
1

Audit the agency relationship end to end

Reviewed every deliverable, report, and invoice from the agency over the past 12 months. Cross-referenced promised KPIs against actual performance data pulled directly from ad platforms and analytics.

Before Relying entirely on agency-provided reports
Result Independent performance verification
2

Identify underperformance and misalignment

Found that the agency was optimizing for clicks and impressions rather than patient appointments. Three campaigns were generating high traffic but near-zero conversions to actual bookings.

Before Agency reported "strong performance" based on vanity metrics
Result Real conversion data exposed $85K in waste
3

Restructure agency KPIs and reporting

Built new KPI framework tied to patient appointments, not traffic. Established monthly performance reviews with clear benchmarks and consequences for underperformance.

Before KPIs set by the agency, not the business
Result Business-aligned KPIs with accountability
4

Redirect spend to conversion-driving campaigns

Paused all campaigns with CPL above threshold and redirected budget into local search, retargeting, and high-intent keyword campaigns that were already converting.

Before $22K/month on non-converting campaigns
Result CPL dropped 41% across all channels
5

Implement ongoing agency oversight

Delivered a monthly agency scorecard and review process the internal team could manage independently. The agency now reports against business outcomes, not vanity metrics.

Result 2x qualified leads, sustainable agency accountability
