Why PLATINUM Offers Higher ROI and Conversion:

The high ROI and conversion rates of the PLATINUM semi-custom website come down to two primary facts:

1. Conversion > Customization (A/B Tested Design)

A custom website may be unique, but if it has a conversion rate of 4%, it is underperforming. PatientGain’s websites use an A/B tested, semi-custom framework that prioritizes the patient experience and conversion pathways that are scientifically proven to work in healthcare. You get a fully branded, but highly optimized, website that is engineered to turn clicks into booked appointments.

2. System Integration Eliminates Leakage (The “Ecosystem”)

The PLATINUM website is merely the user interface for the powerful PatientGain software ecosystem running behind it.

  • A visitor fills out a form. → The lead instantly pops up in the secure SPOC dashboard.
  • A visitor asks a question after hours. → The Intelligent Chatbot captures the lead and sends it to the SPOC dashboard.
  • A visitor checks prices. → They are encouraged to use a secure, compliant 2-Way Texting app.

By bundling the high-performance website with the 20+ conversion apps and the dedicated management service, PatientGain ensures that the investment made in driving traffic to the site is maximized, resulting in a lower cost per patient acquisition and a significantly higher ROI.
