Macbach · Healthcare only since 2007

Marketing is a commodity.
Growth is a discipline.
We only take the second kind.

We build the systems, search, maps, site, acquisition, retention, that turn a practice into a compounding asset. Not a campaign. Not a launch. A decade of deliberate growth, engineered in the first twelve months.

Retention, not churn

The number that tells
the truth about an agency.

Any agency can win a client. Keeping them across two decades, through a web build, SEO, Maps, paid, and Architect, from one physician to eleven across three locations, is a different test. These are the retention numbers from the current book.

Where is your practice
actually losing?

Five questions. We read your answers against the four outcomes a healthcare practice actually measures, and return the specific service path that would move the number first.

No email required to finish. The full Practice Audit is the follow-up if you want the formal read.

What kind of practice
do you run?

The approach

Strategy before spend.
Evidence before opinion.

Most practices buy tactics, an SEO package, a paid-ads retainer, a new website, and stitch them together hoping they’ll compound. They rarely do.

The practices that win stop buying tactics and start building systems. We architect those systems: Google Maps foundation, organic search engine, conversion-built sites, paid acceleration when the economics work. Then we run them with you, or for you, until they run themselves.

The person behind the system
After twenty years I stopped calling what we do marketing. It’s practice growth. The distinction is everything.

Vince has led growth for concierge physicians, specialty medical practices, dental specialty groups, medspa operators, and weight-loss clinics since 2007. The pattern recognition, what works in healthcare specifically, what doesn’t, and why, is what Macbach runs on. Methodology, not trend chasing.

The deliverable

Every engagement
ships a Strategic Command Plan.

Forty to a hundred pages, rendered in the client portal, specific to the practice. It covers every page, keyword, schema type, conversion path, and KPI before a line of code or content gets written. Clients live in this document for twelve months.

How engagements go

Audit. Scope. Build.
Operate.

Every Macbach engagement moves through four phases in the same order. The reason pricing is published is that the work is standardized enough to publish. What changes per client is the content in the Strategic Command Plan, not the plan’s shape.

Week 1
01
Audit

Ten questions. Three minutes.

A real read on where the practice stands across visibility, traffic, conversion, and retention. No fluff, no generic PDF, no qualification ritual. You come out with a document.

  • Grade on the four outcomes the business measures
  • Top three priority plays specific to the practice
  • Honest call on whether Macbach is a fit
Weeks 2-3
02
Scope

Strategic Command Plan.

For every engagement, we build the plan first. 40 to 100 pages, rendered in the portal, specific to the practice. Sitemap, schema strategy, keyword matrix, funnel, local SEO, competitive intel, E-E-A-T, KPIs.

  • Full URL inventory with schema assignments
  • Primary + secondary keyword mapping per page
  • Competitive moat analysis with named practices
  • Twelve-month KPI framework
Weeks 4-12
03
Build

Foundation, engine, accelerator.

Maps first, organic second, paid third, site as the conversion asset underneath all three. We build in the order the math rewards, not the order an agency would sell you.

  • GBP + citation footprint operational
  • Content engine producing weekly, medically reviewed
  • Site pages Core-Web-Vitals green and converting
  • Paid infrastructure ready when channel economics clear
Month 4+
04
Operate

Compounding, not launching.

The system is built to run. Monthly report opens with what moved and what didn't, with the cause and the fix. Architect engagements get the fractional CMO working the business, not the campaign.

  • Monthly Map-pack grid across service radius
  • GA4 + CallRail + conversion API reconciliation
  • Keyword ranking delta report
  • Quarterly review tied to practice financials
The system, not the tactics

Five products.
One connected outcome.

Every Macbach product earns a different part of the growth equation. Read the matrix below left-to-right, not “services” but the contribution each makes to the four outcomes a practice actually measures.

Axe-clean at every heading level. Keyboard-complete. Screen-reader tested.

Monthly Map-pack ranking grid

Geocoded across the practice's full service radius. Delta-reported.

Server-side validation. No PHI in analytics, remarketing, or logs.

Citation footprint management

70+ healthcare directories, continuously reconciled via BrightLocal.

Review-request automation

Practice-voice response management. Cadence set to velocity, not vanity.

Server-side Conversion API

Paid campaigns measured past the iOS signal loss. No event theft.

Custom client portal

Per-practice Strategic Command Plan rendered in the portal. Watermarked for leak forensics. Updated when project phases complete, not when an agency owns the cadence.

The seat

When a fractional CMO
isn’t a compromise.

The Architect engagement is how a small number of practice owners hire the growth brain they don’t want to fill a full executive seat for, without getting an agency pitch deck and a quarterly report designed to hide what didn’t work.

We hold twelve to fifteen active Architect engagements at a time. Current clients include concierge physician groups, specialty medical practices, specialty dental groups, and multi-location medspa operators.

A twelve-year client

Vince didn’t just deliver a marketing strategy, he delivered presence, identity, and distinction.

I am the successful Las Vegas concierge physician because of him and his team.

Three ways in

Most start with the audit.

Path 01

Run the audit.

You know what you need. MapsPRO, RankPRO, AdsPRO, or SitePRO. Tier pricing published, scope calls booked within 48 hours.

Path 03

Apply for Architect.

For practice owners who want the fractional CMO seat, not a vendor. Twelve to fifteen active engagements. Application required.
