Today's episode is all about the real cost of marketing (or not marketing 👀).

Nick and Michael are back in the studio (lower chairs and all), tackling one of the most misunderstood mindsets in urgent care: why paid advertising gets treated like an expense, when it should be seen as an investment that actually pays you back.

From frustrated clinic owners who expect ads to be free, to teams cutting budgets in a panic, this episode is a no-fluff reality check on how digital marketing really works—and what separates the thriving clinics from the struggling ones.

It’s part tough love, part strategy session, and 100% focused on helping you get more patients through your doors.

🔥 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

💸 Why thinking of ads as “just a cost” is killing your clinic’s growth🔁 The math behind patient acquisition—and how good ads can fund themselves📉 The dangers of cutting your marketing budget when things get slow🧠 How to shift your mindset from “spending” to “scaling”📊 Why SEO is a result, not just a service (and how to earn it)👨‍⚕️ Why your Google Ads should be your hardest-working employee🚫 The myth of word-of-mouth as a scalable strategy🔍 Common reasons marketing fails—and how to fix them

Nick and Michael kick off this episode of Walk-Ins Welcome with a bold claim: you've been lied to about your patient acquisition costs. They break down the real numbers they're seeing across urgent care clinics nationwide (spoiler: it's under $20), and unpack the three biggest culprits behind inflated costs—PMAX campaigns, vanity metrics, and targeting too wide of a radius. From Google Ads pitfalls to the difference between conversions and actual acquisitions, they cover the data, the strategy, and why many clinics are unknowingly feeding Google bad information. Plus, hear why brand recognition matters less than proximity, and how fast food chains like Chick-fil-A and McDonald's offer surprisingly useful comparisons for urgent care success.
