The Five Decisions That Set Up a New Practice for Success
📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → https://podiatry.marketing/reportIn this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss five key business decisions that shape whether a new podiatry practice succeeds before it ever opens. Prompted by a resident preparing to start a practice without a lease or patients, they outline an order of operations: research the market before choosing a location using free data like census trends, income levels, and competitor presence; decide what type of practice and payer mix you want rather than “treating everyone”; build a brand and name that reflect that strategy and can evolve over time; create a website structured around individual condition and treatment pages (and nearby “areas we serve”) written in patient-friendly language; and set up day-one systems like reviews, call tracking, intake workflows, and insurance-call handling to avoid playing catch-up later.✉️ Contact: [email protected]

The Happiness Advantage: The Marketing Strategy You’re Not Using
📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → https://podiatry.marketing/reportIn this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss why happiness is a powerful, overlooked marketing strategy in podiatry, arguing that patients decide emotionally and justify logically, so the in-clinic experience often matters more than ads, websites, or equipment. They explain that small moments—warm greetings, feeling heard, confidence in outcomes, and an encouraging close—create emotional memories that drive trusted word-of-mouth, reviews, loyalty, better treatment adherence, easier rebooking, and less price resistance. Using examples of poor hotel service and strong personal recommendations, they emphasize that mismatches between great online marketing and a flat clinic experience cause patients to leave, and that staff culture is part of external marketing because happiness can’t be faked or outsourced. They share five practical steps: improve the first 10 seconds, slow down the first minute, clearly explain outcomes, end positively, and follow up.✉️ Contact: [email protected]

📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → https://podiatry.marketing/reportIn this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss how podiatry practices can recover “lost” revenue already sitting in their EMR by improving patient recall and follow-up on incomplete treatments. They explain common examples of overdue patients (heel pain, diabetic foot checks, orthotic pickup, shockwave treatment sequences) and why manual recall fails due to front-desk workloads being overwhelmed and inconsistent outreach. Jim outlines how to calculate missed revenue and suggests that even modest rebooking can generate significant monthly income with zero patient acquisition cost. They review AI-powered recall tools like Bonsai that integrate with EMRs (e.g., ModMed), use diagnosis codes and notes to send HIPAA-compliant personalized texts/emails, and track ROI, while emphasizing the need for internal workflows so staff respond quickly and close the loop. They also note recall visits can educate patients about additional services, including cash-pay options. and stay top of mind without being annoying through newsletters, educational social posts, shareable “wow” posts, and check-in campaigns.✉️ Contact: [email protected]

📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → https://podiatry.marketing/reportIn this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss five simple, free marketing moves that podiatry clinics can implement by leveraging what’s already happening within the practice rather than relying on paid ads. They frame most clinics’ issues as an awareness problem and introduce a framework: capture, package, and share. The five moves are: turn common patient questions into content; document daily work instead of trying to “create” content; use the front desk as a marketing machine by tracking how patients found the clinic, digging deeper into search terms and touchpoints, encouraging referrals, and educating patients about services; share ethical before-and-after stories while protecting patient privacy; and stay top of mind without being annoying through newsletters, educational social posts, shareable “wow” posts, and check-in campaigns.✉️ Contact: [email protected]

You're Not Behind — The Uncertainty Is the Hard Part
📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → https://podiatry.marketing/reportIn this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Tyson Franklin and Jim McDannald, DPM, discuss why many podiatrists feel stuck after leaving the structured path of school and training, and how uncertainty—not lack of tactics—keeps them from improving marketing or changing their practice. They explore the “busy but broke” paradox of full schedules with thin margins, the compounding costs of inaction (such as outdated websites and poor patient mix), and the value of making fears specific by attaching real numbers to decisions, such as running Google Ads. They note that fear often includes looking foolish or admitting you need help, and emphasize that there’s no secret formula or copy-paste playbook—only fundamentals applied to each market. They encourage listeners to take one concrete action now, such as updating a Google Business Profile or building a strong page for one key service, and invite them to share the podcast and leave a rating.✉️ Contact: [email protected]

Proof Beats Promises: Why Evidence Wins When Advertising Fatigues
📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → https://podiatry.marketing/reportIn this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Tyson Franklin and Jim McDannald, DPM, discuss why “proof beats promises” in podiatry marketing as patients become cynical from constant advertising. They explain that most clinics rely on promise-based claims (friendly team, latest technology, advanced treatments), while modern patients trust evidence such as educational videos, realistic before-and-after stories, and ethical case studies that show assessment, planning, timeframes, and outcomes. Tyson outlines how to create case studies without identifying details, emphasizes getting patient permission for photos, and notes that “board certified” may matter more to professionals than the general public. They cover social proof beyond Google reviews—behind-the-scenes content, explanations of consultation processes, treatment plan structure, and community involvement—and argue that testimonials can be vague, repetitive, or distrusted. Tyson shares a “modern trust equation” of education + transparency + consistency + outcomes, then offers immediate action steps: share one mini case per week, film a short assessment-process video, explain how treatment plans are built and why multiple modalities may be used, share patient goal stories, and clearly justify pricing. They conclude that improving marketing isn’t about spending more on ads but about showing more of what the clinic already does well, with invitations to contact Jim for advertising/websites, and Tyson for practice growth, when ready to apply strategies.✉️ Contact: [email protected]

The $2,000/Month Question Nobody Can Answer
📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → https://podiatry.marketing/reportIn this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Tyson Franklin and Jim McDannald, DPM, discuss the “$2,000 a month question” many podiatry clinics can’t answer: how many new patients marketing actually produced last month, beyond clicks and impressions. They explain what Google Ads conversions are and why conversion counts can be misleading (e.g., a booked consult vs. a pocket dial). Jim outlines how call tracking and form tracking—using dynamic number insertion and tools like CallTrackingMetrics or CallRail—can reveal which ads, keywords, and channels generate real calls and submissions, helping clinics reallocate budget to what works. They also cover pitfalls of relying solely on call duration, the value of reviewing call content to improve front-desk performance, and the need for HIPAA compliance, including ensuring vendors provide a signed BAA, since phone numbers and contact-form details are PHI. The episode highlights how granular tracking can uncover workflow issues (such as missed form follow-ups) that ad spend can’t fix, and ends with Jim offering a free practice visibility scorecard on the Podiatry Marketing website.✉️ Contact: [email protected]
