How a Florida-based clinic system built its own lead generation engine and gained control over growth

Overview
Complete Care had a strong reputation and a growing footprint across Central Florida, but their growth relied entirely on outside referrals from attorneys and healthcare providers. They had no control over their lead flow and no internal marketing engine to support long-term stability.

We stepped in to shift their mindset and strategy, treating patient acquisition like an ecommerce challenge. The result was a brand-new, direct-to-patient marketing system that generated $1 million in new revenue in the first year and gave the company lasting control over its growth.

The Challenge
Complete Care operates 30 injury clinics throughout Central Florida and has helped thousands of patients recover from musculoskeletal injuries since 2012. The clinics were known for delivering high-quality care, but behind the scenes, they faced a major vulnerability.

All new patients came from outside referrals. Either from emergency rooms, primary care physicians, or personal injury attorneys. This meant Complete Care had no control over its lead flow. If an attorney or hospital stopped referring patients, there was no alternative pipeline. On top of that, some competitors were engaging in unethical referral tactics that put Complete Care at a disadvantage.



The company relied on a relationship-driven sales team to maintain connections and keep referrals coming in. That strategy worked, but it wasn't stable. Relationships change. Offices switch preferences. And when the patient pipeline is built on personalities instead of a predictable system, long-term growth is always at risk.

Our Strategic Approach

During a discovery conversation, we explored a simple but powerful idea. What if we treated this like an ecommerce challenge?

In Florida, people who get injured in car accidents often can't get proper treatment through the traditional healthcare system. Their injuries are not covered by health insurance but by auto insurance. Hospitals may treat them in an emergency room, but follow-up care is left to specialized clinics like Complete Care.



The solution was to go directly to these patients, rather than waiting for referrals. We reframed the entire problem: instead of building more referral relationships, we would attract patients directly online and help them take action quickly after an accident.

What We Did

We built a direct-to-patient marketing system from the ground up:

• Paid Advertising on search and social platforms, targeting people looking for post-accident medical care
• Landing Pages designed to educate patients on their options and guide them to book an appointment
• Conversion Tracking and Retargeting so we could optimize spend and follow up with potential patients who visited the website
• Video Content featuring Complete Care medical providers explaining what to look for after an accident, how to manage injuries, and what quality care looks like
• Patient Testimonials that highlighted successful recoveries and built trust
• Website Messaging Updates to speak directly to patients, not attorneys or referring doctors

The biggest challenge was that patients only seek this care when they have been in a car accident. There are no obvious demographic signals, so we had to create a presence strong enough to be found when the need suddenly appears.

Prior to this shift, Complete Care had no marketing team and no direct lead generation strategy. This was a new channel built from scratch.

The Results

Within the first year, this strategy delivered:

• $1 million in new revenue directly attributable to the new patient acquisition system
• An ongoing, repeatable lead source the company could manage and scale internally
• A foundation for long-term growth built on educational content, brand trust, and digital infrastructure

Complete Care gained something more valuable than just revenue. They now have ownership of their growth. They are no longer entirely reliant on third-party relationships to bring in new patients.

Strategic Insight

This case was never about running flashy campaigns. It was about shifting perspective.

We stopped thinking like a traditional medical provider. Instead, we approached it like an ecommerce brand. We created awareness, captured intent, built trust, and gave people a path to convert, just like any successful consumer brand would.

That shift gave Complete Care a stable, measurable, and scalable way to grow.
