Primary care patient acquisition that fills new patient slots.
Primary care practices do not have a demand problem. They have a conversion problem: people search "primary care doctor near me," land on a site with no booking, and call an office that is closed.
Provido runs primary care patient acquisition for practices, groups, and DPC clinics: local campaigns, an instant reply that answers insurance and availability, online booking for new patient visits, and reactivation of every patient who lapses.
Built for how people choose a primary care doctor
Insurance, location, and whether they can get in this week. The funnel answers all three before they call.
Local search first
Google search and Google Business Profile for "primary care near me," "family doctor accepting new patients," and insurance-specific searches. High intent, captured before the directories resell it.
New patient campaigns on social
Meta campaigns to households in your service area with a plain offer: accepting new patients, in network with major plans, same-week visits. No condition targeting, no health data in the platform.
60-second reply on insurance and availability
The two questions every new patient asks, answered by text within a minute with a booking link, including after hours when most "new patient" searches happen.
Recalls and reactivation
Annual visit recalls, lapsed patients, and unbooked inquiries re-engaged automatically. For a primary care panel, this is the cheapest volume available and the most neglected.
The patient searching at 9 PM books with whoever answers by 9:05.
Most primary care searches happen after hours, when the office is closed and the website has no way to book. The practice that texts back with the insurance answer and a Thursday morning slot gets the patient. The 60-second reply plus online booking is the highest-leverage fix in primary care marketing.
The second fix is measuring to completed new patient visits, not calls or form fills. That is what makes budget flow to the campaigns and locations that actually fill the panel.
