Free Market Report · Your metro · No strings

Know your
competitive landscape.

We map your top 4 local competitors and hand you a written report on where they're winning, where they're vulnerable, and where the patient is currently looking and can't find you. Specific, named, with data. No sales pitch attached, keep the report whether you ever work with us or not.

FREE MARKET REPORT · YOUR METRO

01The overview · What's in the report

A real read on your competitive position.

The report covers your top 4 local competitors, named, by practice, with data. We pull review counts and velocity, map-pack ranking trajectories, the depth of their service pages, content cadence across every channel, their before-and-after gallery quality, technical SEO scoring, and vendor signals patients can see.

You get the side-by-side: where your position is rock solid, where it's slipping unnoticed, and what the competition is doing that's working. Plus the 2–3 specific signals you're missing today that would move the ranking inside 90 days.

The whole thing is yours, free. No sales follow-up if you don't want one. Most surgeons read the report, share it with their partner or marketing director, and either do the work themselves or come back to talk. Either path is fine with us, the report is real value whether you ever hire us or not.

02 · The philosophy

Solutions, not just reports.
A partner, not just a vendor.

You need an agency that handles whatever lands on your desk: operational competence you don't have to babysit, solutions ready before the meeting, and a partner who understands medicine and operations so you don't translate every conversation. Six operating principles MAA brings to every marketing-director engagement.

Annual stakeholder review · Prepared, every meeting
01

Answers ready before the meeting.

You shouldn't be scrambling Sunday night for Monday's stakeholder review. We work the answers through with you before the question gets asked, so you walk in prepared and walk out without homework.

02

One stack. One vendor. One contact.

Stop reconciling five dashboards and chasing six invoices. The entire marketing stack under one roof, one subscription, one phone number. You manage outcomes, not vendors.

03

We speak medicine AND operations.

No translating between marketing-speak, doctor talk, and CFO numbers all week. We already speak all three, fluently, so the conversation moves at your pace, not ours.

04

We never go around you.

Vendors who bypass you to the doctor quietly erode your authority. We never do it. Every conversation flows through you. Every win lands on your desk. Your relationships stay clean.

05

We handle the boring stuff before it breaks.

All the quiet defensive work most agencies skip (directory cleanup, technical fixes, email deliverability, call tracking, review flow), handled without you having to ask.So six months from now, you're not getting asked a question you can't answer.

06

We've lived the deal, on both sides.

Retained through acquisitions when our clients got bought. Brought in by PE buyers post-close to clean up the inherited operation. If a transaction is on the horizon, you're not hiring a vendor learning on your account during the most chaotic period of your tenure.

03 · The five big issues

What MAA sees in almost every inherited marketing stack.

Five patterns we see when we walk into a practice's marketing function for the first time. None are surprising. All are fixable. Get them solved and the rest of the year stops feeling like you're constantly reacting to fires you didn't start.

01

You're alone when the hard questions come.

The agency hands you a dashboard and disappears. When the CFO pushes back or the doctor wants something tomorrow, you're scrambling solo.

Most agencies build a deck once a month and call it a relationship. Then the CFO asks a sharp question, or a doctor wants a campaign reshaped by Monday, or a partner sends a procedural question you've never seen before, and your agency is "back to you next week." That's the gap that makes the role exhausting.We're the partner that picks up the phone, works the answer with you, and hands you back something you can act on before the meeting.

MAA won't let this happen to you
02

You inherited a tangle of vendors.

Different reports. Different invoices. Overlapping work. Gaps where nothing exists. Half your week reconciling.

A web developer who built the site three years ago. A separate SEO contractor. A social agency. A paid-media shop. A photographer for headshots. A reputation tool nobody logs into. Five vendors. Six invoices. Zero consolidated view.You can't tell the CFO what marketing actually costs because nobody can tell you. We absorb what makes sense, recommend what to keep elsewhere, and hand you the simpler operating model, with documented savings you can show upward.

03

You can't tell where any patient came from.

No call tracking. No way to tie a patient to the campaign that brought them in. No way to defend any single dollar of spend in front of the board.

  • Calls aren't tagged to a source, the doctor swears every patient said "I saw your billboard"
  • Form submissions go to a shared inbox with no idea which campaign sent them
  • Paid media reports show clicks; nobody's tied a click to a booked procedure
  • The CRM and the booking system don't talk to each other
  • You can describe what marketing cost, but not what marketing actually produced in revenue
  • When the CFO asks "what does each patient cost to bring in," the honest answer is "we don't know yet"

Your $600 leads get $15-an-hour follow-up.

Expensive paid leads land in the same shared inbox as routine asks, handled by the busiest, lowest-paid person in the building.

Every form fill cost $400–$1,000 in ad spend. They land in the front-desk queue between insurance questions and walk-ins. No follow-up cadence, no nurture for the warm-not-hot, no triage between someone ready to book today and someone shopping three other practices. The most expensive part of marketing gets the cheapest part of the patient experience, and most of those leads disappear without anyone noticing. We wire the conversion, tracking, and follow-up systems that turn expensive leads into actual paying patients, and tie every dollar of spend to a real outcome.

05

Nobody's doing the unsexy work.

Name/address/phone matching. The hidden code Google reads. Old directory listings. Email that lands. Boring, defensive, compounding, and silently broken.

Your name, address, and phone number don't match across Google, Yelp, Healthgrades, RealSelf, and Vitals. The hidden code that tells Google what your site is about is missing or wrong. Google Business Profile Posts haven't been published in months. The patient asset library is on someone's old hard drive. Emails are landing in spam because nobody's tending the deliverability. None of it is catastrophic on its own. All of it compounds.Six months from now, rankings have decayed, leads have leaked, and someone in a stakeholder meeting asks why, and you're answering for work that wasn't on anyone's plate.

A wide holographic projection of a world map with directory pins (Yelp, Healthgrades, RateMDs, Google Maps, Yellow Pages, others) and labels for email forms, link building, content optimization, citation consistency, ranking, data, and name/address/phone alignment, the defensive marketing work that holds it all together

04 · The subscription

One subscription.
Three pillars.

A partner that has your back when stakeholders push. The whole marketing stack under one roof. A track record investors recognize on both sides of the deal table. Three pillars, three outcomes: your job gets easier, you get what you need before you need it, and the people above you stop second-guessing the marketing function.

1
A partner that has you covered

A partner that has you covered.

Doctors with strong personalities. CFOs with sharp questions. Investors who want specifics. Marketing fires you didn't see coming. Whatever lands on your desk, you have a partner with solutions ready, and the situation gets handled before it becomes a problem.

  • Answers prepped before the meeting, never scrambling solo when the CFO asks a sharp question
  • Solutions for the operational fires you didn't see coming, handled before they escalate
  • Help thinking through stakeholder communication, board narratives, and difficult physician conversations
  • A team that picks up the phone when something's on fire, not a ticket queue and a four-day wait
  • Whatever proof points, numbers, or context you need for the room you're walking into
  • Standardized workflows so new locations and doctors onboard without reinvention

Whole stack · One vendor

The whole marketing stack, one vendor.

Web, SEO, paid, social, video, photography, email, GBP, reputation, AI search, under one roof, on one subscription, with one point of contact. You stop managing vendors and start managing outcomes.

  • One vendor across every channel: site, SEO, paid, social, video, photography, email, GBP, reputation, AI search
  • One stable account team: same people, every quarter, learning your account instead of churning through it
  • One consolidated report, instead of reconciling five different vendor dashboards
  • Photography and video shot with you, or sourced from vetted local pros and influencers in your market
  • Documented workflows so every campaign, spend, and result is auditable
  • Subscription pricing the CFO can model on a single line, no surprise invoices
Consolidate the stack

VC-ready · Scale

Built for scale, ready for the transaction.

We've been retained through practice acquisitions and brought in by PE platforms post-close, on both sides of the deal, more than once. If you're adding locations, adding doctors, or expecting a transaction, the marketing function is one fewer thing on your plate during the chaos.

  • Subscription pricing that absorbs new locations and doctors at known incremental cost
  • Documented operations that translate clean into a diligence room, answers ready before the question gets asked
  • Marketing operations documented for audit and handover
  • Get found in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews, not just classic search
  • AI agents and automations handle the busy work, your hours stay strategic, not tactical
  • A vendor whose track record with investors is already established, one fewer reference call you have to chase
Build for the next chapter
05 · The content weapons doctrine

One content asset.
Eight platforms.

Every channel matters, every channel gets measured. We don't pick three platforms and call it strategy: every asset deploys across all eight, every result tracks back to the platform that produced it. One asset, eight deployments, one report. Coverage your stakeholders can see. Attribution your CFO can defend.

06 · The engagement shape

A full year of having a partner behind you.

Quarterly cadence built around your stakeholder calendar. Q1 stabilizes the foundation and starts covering your back. Q2 shows first results. Q3 optimizes. Q4 lands the year-over-year story you walk into the year-end review with.

Q 1
Foundation + coverage
Vendor audit complete. Marketing operations stack stabilized. Call tracking deployed across every channel and location. Weekly check-ins live so you're never the last to know about anything in your function. By end of quarter, you have a partner already ahead of stakeholder questions.
Q 2
Execution + first results
Marketing engine running across every channel. First real numbers in your hand: where each patient came from, channel by channel, in dollars. Vendor consolidation savings documented for the CFO. Physician asset libraries deployed and tied to each doctor.
Q 3
Optimization
Cost per acquired patient trending the right direction. Channel ROI clarified: what to double down on, what to cut. The questions stakeholders keep asking get answered before they have to ask. Physician relationships steady, no surprises.
Q 4
Year-end story
Year-over-year lift documented. You walk into the year-end review with the answers to questions stakeholders haven't asked yet, and a partner sitting in the call with you if you want one. The marketing function gets renewed without drama. So do you.
Year 2+
Scale and compound
New locations or doctors absorbed on the subscription model at known incremental cost. Your role grows as the marketing operation matures. The engagement compounds, and so does your standing with the people you report to.
07 · Why marketing leaders hire MAA

We're your secret weapon.
The advantage your peers don't have.

01

We have your back, every meeting.

When doctors push back, when the CFO wants a number, when something breaks on Friday afternoon, you have a partner who picks up the phone, works the answer with you, and hands you something you can act on before the meeting. No scrambling solo. No "back to you next week." That outcome (looking prepared to everyone above you, in every conversation) is what we actually sell to this role.

02

We cover the whole stack.

Web, SEO, paid, social, video, photography, email, GBP, reputation, AI search: one vendor, one report, one point of contact. You stop managing vendors and start managing outcomes. Fewer reports to reconcile, fewer fires to put out, fewer hours lost to vendor coordination meetings.

03

We've lived the VC transition.

Retained through practice acquisitions when our clients were bought. Brought in by PE platforms after deals closed to clean up the inherited marketing function. Most agencies in elective medicine have never been through a single transition. We've been on both sides, more than once, and still work with the practices and platforms on both. After the first 6 months, either side can give 30 days' notice, no fight, no hard feelings.
