A clinic inquiry is not a booking.
A booking is not an attended visit.

Review the ad, the first response
and the path to an appointment.

Explore the approach

The inquiries arrive. The appointment book still has gaps.

An inquiry, a confirmed appointment and an attended visit are different results. We review the ad, booking page and reception process, then compare available internal records without promising to send patient information to Meta.

// THE PROBLEM

Why inquiries fail to become appointments

ISSUE 01

A submitted form says little about the booking

A general question and an inquiry the clinic can serve may count as the same ad conversion. Internal records are needed to see the difference.

ISSUE 02

The first response arrives too late

The person may have contacted another clinic. Check who responds, when, and what happens after the conversation.

ISSUE 03

The booking page leaves practical questions open

Explain what the first consultation involves, the clinic’s location, available services, pricing information and how to book. Clinical claims need the clinic’s factual approval.

ISSUE 04

The ad report stops at the form

The clinic needs to distinguish contact, booking and attendance in its own reporting. That does not mean every stage can be transmitted to an advertising platform.

// OUR APPROACH

What needs to work between inquiry and visit

01
INFORMATION

Help the patient decide whether to inquire

Align the ad and booking page with clinic-approved facts about the consultation, service, price and booking process. Test explanatory material and clinic introductions; production and consent are agreed separately.

02
RESPONSE

Give the inquiry a clear owner

Review first-response time, the responsible person and follow-up. Reminders or rescheduling tools are separately scoped rather than promised to eliminate no-shows.

03
BOOKING PATH

Ask only what the booking process needs

Make location and contact options clear. Review the clinic’s own inquiry form without proposing medical-history, insurance or affordability profiling for advertising.

04
MEASUREMENT

Keep appointment reporting inside the clinic

Review available internal counts of inquiries, bookings and attendance. Patient records, treatment details and patient-linked revenue are not promised as Meta signals. Any potential platform transfer needs a separate assessment of law, platform rules and the actual data source.

// THE FIRST CONVERSATION

Start with the inquiry-to-appointment path

A 15-minute conversation clarifies your task, market and available data. Public pages help us orient the discussion; a deeper account, CAPI or CRM review is a separately agreed paid diagnostic.

  • ✓ Whether the ad and booking page answer the same question
  • ✓ How the clinic handles a new inquiry
  • ✓ Where internal booking records show a drop-off
  • ✓ Which evidence would be needed to choose the first change

// FAQ

Questions from clinic owners

Can we assess confirmed appointments rather than forms?

+

Yes, where the clinic records and can assess them internally. CRM availability alone is not permission to send appointments or patient-related information to Meta.

What if we have no CRM?

+

Start with the clinic’s permitted internal booking records or a simple count by stage: inquiry, response, booking and attendance. Do not send patient exports to the agency through this inquiry form.

Could the problem be outside advertising?

+

Yes. Missing information, a slow response or unsuitable appointment availability can interrupt an otherwise relevant inquiry. A targeting change will not resolve every booking problem.

Can calls and reminders be included?

+

We can assess phone inquiries and reminder needs. Call recording, new phone systems and automated messages require a separate scope, lawful handling and approved data flows.

What budget and result do you commit to?

+

We agree setup, management, measurement and testing work. Budget follows the location, economics and available demand. We do not promise patient numbers, a no-show reduction or a date for booked treatments.

What should we bring to the first conversation?

+

Service information, location, current ads and booking pages, plus a description of how the clinic records inquiries and appointments. No patient records are needed for that conversation.

Choose the services the task needs

We choose measurement, creatives and campaign management from the evidence. Canem Errant can take on implementation and ongoing work, with scope agreed before work begins.

From clarification to implementation and ongoing work

If the cause or scope is unclear, we agree the suitable paid diagnostic. A Meta-specific question may lead to Meta & Measurement Diagnostic, followed by a decision and a concrete implementation proposal. If the task is already confirmed, we can propose implementation or ongoing work directly. Ongoing management and media spend are not automatically included in a diagnostic.
