Memphis concierge medicine
questions, answered.
- Is Collierville a viable concierge submarket?
- Yes, and it is earlier in the category curve than Germantown. Collierville's growth has outpaced concierge supply; a practice that anchors there now with strong physician authority and clean local SEO can own the submarket for a long time.
- What panel sizes do you grow?
- Under 600 members we optimize acquisition. Between 600 and 1,000 we shift weight to retention, referral mechanics, and waitlist management. At capacity we work brand, physician authority, and quiet expansion.
- Does local SEO actually matter for a membership practice?
- Yes, but differently than for a transactional practice. Prospective members search the physician by name, the practice by brand, and the model by vocabulary (concierge, membership medicine, direct care) more than generic service terms. GBP health, review velocity, and physician authority pages are the foundations.
- How much should a concierge practice spend on marketing?
- Three to five percent of collections combined acquisition and retention, skewed higher at launch and lower at steady-state. A 400-member practice at $3,500 annual membership ($1.4M collections) typically runs $40K to $70K annually on marketing.
- How long does paid media take to pay back?
- Six months to positive contribution. Twelve to eighteen months to see the full compounding effect. Concierge purchase cycles are long; the first touch is rarely the conversion.
- Do you work with solo-physician concierge practices?
- Most of the concierge book is solo or two-physician. The brand and retention disciplines are the same at one physician or ten.
- What's different about concierge versus DPC growth?
- Price point and audience frame. DPC is category-first education (most prospects don't know the model exists). Concierge is physician-first trust building (prospects know the model and are evaluating physicians). Same channels, different sequencing.
