What's assessed

Six places clinics quietly lose new clients

01

First impression

Does your homepage tell an anxious first-time client they're in the right place within five seconds?

02

Booking journey

Every click from "I need help" to a confirmed appointment, tested on mobile and desktop.

03

Search and maps

Google Business Profile, local rankings, reviews, and the searches you should be showing up for.

04

Trust signals

Practitioner bios, fees, rebates, Medicare and NDIS information, and accessibility.

05

Referral pathways

How GPs, specialists and past clients refer to you, and how easy you make it for them.

06

Content and follow-up

Enquiry forms, email responses, and whether people who don't book ever hear from you again.

The process

From intake to treatment plan in ten business days

  1. Day 1

    Intake

    A 30-minute call about your caseload, capacity and the clients you want more of.

  2. Days 2 to 7

    Assessment

    I walk your client journey end to end, the way a new client actually experiences it.

  3. Day 8

    Formulation

    What's going wrong and why, in plain English. Every issue ranked by impact and effort, with quick wins for this week.

  4. Day 10

Your assessor

Senior judgement, applied to your practice

I've spent 25 years building digital products, and the last several focused on mental health and wellbeing services. I know how a nervous first-time client reads a clinic website, because I've designed for exactly that person.

Every assessment is carried out by me personally, from intake to treatment plan.

Capabilities: digital strategy, websites and booking systems, SEO and local search, content and copywriting, email and CRM, marketing collateral, and AI-enhanced workflows.

Questions clinic owners ask

How much of my time does it take?+

About 30 minutes for the intake call. The Full Audit adds a 60-minute review session. Everything else is on me.

Will the recommendations fit AHPRA's advertising rules?+

Yes. Every recommendation is written with AHPRA's guidelines for advertising regulated health services in mind.

Do I have to hire you to make the changes?+

No. The formulation and treatment plan are yours to keep, and your team or any developer can action them. If you'd like me to do it, the audit fee is credited.

Do you work with clinics outside Sydney?+

Yes. The audit is delivered online, so location doesn't matter.
