Grow Your Direct Primary Care Practices with Data-Driven Marketing

DPC Growth Lab works with Direct Primary Care and concierge clinics to who need qualified meet-and-greet appointments, not guesswork and retainer fees.

We focus on realistic timelines, controlled acquisition costs, and modern, HIPAA-compliant growth marketing techniques that tracks to actual enrollments – not just Ad-spend. 

Fact: Most Marketing Agencies Don't Commit Results

Most DPC owners know their target panel size. What remains unclear is the timeline and the monthly spending required to reach it.

On the other side, most marketing agencies for DPC practices charge monthly retainers, run campaigns, and report on clicks or impressions – but can’t commit to the one number that matters: booked consultations with qualified prospective members.

DPC Growth Lab plans, validates, and executes member acquisition campaigns with a single focus: delivering meet-and-greet appointments at a cost you can sustain as you grow.

Our pricing reflects our accountability. We offer an outcome-based fee (read our take on Pricing) tied to the qualified inquiries we
generate, customized to YOUR practice, budget, and market.

We price based on results – not a generic rate card.

Outcome-Driven Marketing, Designed Around Panel Capacity

We Start With Planning, Not Campaigns

Before running a single ad, we model your enrollment pace, intake capacity, and cost tolerance. You see what “full panel in 18 months” actually requires – in monthly budget and appointment volume – before committing. 

We work towards Meet-and-Greet Volume

Our pilot program tracks one KPI: qualified, booked meet-and-greet appointments. We agree on a target cost-per-appointment and monthly volume baseline – then build campaigns, landing pages, and intake workflows to hit it. 

We Work Within Your Constraints

We account for your admin bandwidth, onboarding capacity, and patient expectations. If your intake calendar can only handle 8 consultations/week, we don’t flood you with 20. Growth is designed to match operations, not override them.

Evidence-Driven Growth With DPC Growth Lab’s  90-Day Pilot

  • Real Results, Not Just Campaigns: DPC Growth Lab puts plans to the test in a real-world setting. We work towards your goal, not impressions and clicks.
  • No-Risk Commitment: At the end of your tailored 90-day pilot, you’ll have clear insights into what works – no obligation to continue if it’s not right for you.
  • Baseline Meet-and-Greet Volume: We agree on a realistic monthly target for qualified consultation bookings based on your panel capacity and budget. This becomes the performance benchmark for campaign optimization.
  • Outcome-aligned Pricing, Not Retainers: Our 90-day pilot combines a small base fee with a performance component tied to qualified patient inquiries. This ensures incentives stay aligned – we focus on generating real demand, not activity for activity’s sake. Pricing is set based on your panel capacity, market dynamics, and growth goals, with clear benchmarks agreed upfront.

Why Member Growth Remains Difficult to Plan

Most practices know where they want the panel to land, but are unsure whether that should take twelve months, twenty-four months, or longer.. They are also unknowns about optimal marketing budget and outcome of the campaigns in form of actual enrollment. 

This uncertainty often shows up as uneven flow of enquiries, in-effective follow-ups and hesitation around spending a few hundred or a few thousand dollars per month on outreach, or marketing campaigns that generate interest without producing consistent new members.

In most cases, the issue is not a lack of effort or commitment. It is the absence of agreed assumptions around capacity, value, and pace.

Model Your Growth Before You Commit to Marketing

We start with four inputs:

Panel Size

We consider current panel size and maximum capacity of a practice

Membership Fee

We consider average monthly membership fee (typically $60–$120)

Intake Target

Target monthly intake of the practice (often 5–25 new members)

Growth Window

We consider timeline to full panel (typically 12–24 months)- expected and realistic.

Built for DPC Clinics Primarily at Two Stages

New & Early-Stage Practices (0–300 Members)

You’re pre-launch or in your first 18 months. You need enrollment to hit cash flow breakeven, but you can’t afford to waste budget on untested tactics or overpay for agency retainers. 

DPC Growth Lab helps you validate what works in your market, set up cost-effective campaigns, and track the only metric that matters: qualified consultations that convert to members.

Operating Practices Scaling to Capacity (300–700 Members)

Your panel is partially full, and you’ve likely tried some marketing—maybe with mixed results. 

You need a partner who can diagnose what’s underperforming (conversion rates, cost-per-acquisition, intake friction) and optimize toward full capacity without overbooking or burning budget. We treat marketing as a control system, not a volume engine.
