Lead volume
Tracked opportunities strengthened.
September created 28 new opportunities, up from 15 in August. All remained open at the New Lead stage, making timely follow-up especially important.
01
Summary
What September showed us.
Website traffic increased, while paid media delivered landing-page visits and conversion activity. Improved opportunity-source capture and call recovery are the clearest paths to stronger visibility of outcomes.
Attribution
Lead-source clarity still needs work.
21 of 28 opportunities had no attributed source. This does not indicate unpaid demand; it means the originating channel is still unknown.
Traffic
Website traffic continued to grow.
Website visitors reached 2.02K, up 9.71% versus the previous 30 days. Paid traffic contributed the largest share of the month.
Call recovery
Unanswered calls remain recoverable demand.
37 calls finished missed or in voicemail and need prompt follow-up so genuine enquiry demand is not lost before booking.

The current-month total is not available.
September's new-patient total is unavailable due to booking-system tracking interruption, so no month-on-month comparison is shown.

The most recent available new-patient count is 84 for August 2026. September 2025 recorded 58 new patients for context only.
Next focus

Volume
Opportunity volume improved.
September recorded 28 opportunities, nearly doubling August's 15. That creates a larger active follow-up opportunity for the clinic.
Source quality
Source capture is the key reporting gap.

Immediate action
Contact these leads and convert them into bookings.
All 28 opportunities remained at New Lead with 0 appointments booked. Rapid outreach, appointment follow-up, and clear status updates should be the clinic's immediate priority.

Set a clear same-day follow-up process for the 37 calls that finished missed or in voicemail so more active demand is given the opportunity to book.

Progress September's new leads
All 28 opportunities remained at New Lead. Prioritise quick first contact, booking activity, and accurate status updates to convert the larger lead pool.
3
Capture source at first contact
