$100K+/Week Functional Medicine Event Funnel
A multi-location functional medicine & regenerative clinic group needed a predictable way to turn cold local audiences into high-value patients. Simply Digital designed and ran a weekly seminar funnel that consistently produced 200–300 qualified leads per week and $80K–$150K in weekly clinic revenue from $2K–$4K in ad spend.
This case study breaks down how a simple but disciplined system—Meta Ads + weekly seminars + GoHighLevel CRM + clear owner’s math—compounded into a scalable patient acquisition engine for chronic pain, neuropathy, and regenerative programs.
200–300 qualified leads / week
40–60 seminar attendees / week
20–35 booked consults / week
$11–$22 CPL · ~$100–$200 per consult
20x–40x+ ROAS on Meta Ads
Clinic snapshot
- Multi-location functional medicine & regenerative clinic group (chronic pain, neuropathy, regenerative programs).
- Average case value in the mid four-to-five figures depending on condition and protocol.
- Existing patient base and reputation, but inconsistent new patient volume and heavy dependence on referrals.
- Markets: regional cluster in a major metro, drawing from surrounding suburbs for in-person seminars.
- Goal: predictable weekly consults and clear economics to justify scaling into additional locations.

The challenge
The clinic offered high-value chronic pain and regenerative programs, but top-of-funnel lead generation and conversion were inconsistent. The team wanted a system that could:
- Predictably produce new patients at a sustainable CAC.
- Warm up cold prospects on complex conditions before any consult.
- Give providers time to educate without burning out on one-on-one calls.
- Provide clear, trustworthy numbers on lead volume, show rates, and revenue by campaign.
- Scale into additional markets once the funnel was proven.
System & funnel strategy
Simply Digital designed a weekly event funnel that combined paid media, provider authority, and disciplined follow-up:
- Condition-specific campaigns: Meta Ads tailored to neuropathy, chronic knee pain, and related conditions with clear symptom-led hooks.
- Seminar-first offer: Instead of pushing hard-sell consults, the funnel invited prospects to a free, provider-led educational seminar in a local venue.
- GoHighLevel CRM stack: All leads were funneled into GoHighLevel for automated confirmations, reminders, no-show automations, and post-seminar nurture.
- Multi-touch reminder system: SMS + email reminders before seminars and consults to drive high show-up rates.
- Owner’s-math reporting: Weekly views of leads, attendees, consults, case acceptance, and revenue by campaign and condition.
Funnel breakdown: from click to weekly revenue
The system was intentionally simple so it could be repeated every week without burning out the clinical team.
- Meta Ads → lead: Local audiences saw condition-specific ads (symptom-focused, compliant messaging). Prospects clicked through to a landing page that only sold one thing: reserve a seat for the seminar.
- Lead → seminar registration: GoHighLevel forms captured contact details, condition, and preferred time/location. CPL settled into the $11–$22 range.
- Seminar registration → attendance: Automated SMS + email reminders and a simple “bring a spouse or friend” prompt drove 40–60 attendees per week from 200–300 leads.
- Seminar → consults: At the end of the seminar, the provider made a clear, time-bound call-to-action to book a one-on-one consult. 20–35 consults were typically booked each week.
- Consult → treatment plan: Once in the consult, the clinic’s standard clinical and financial process took over, enrolling appropriate patients into multi-visit programs.
Owner’s math & economics
The numbers quickly showed whether the funnel was working. A typical week looked like this:
- Ad spend: $2,000–$4,000 on Meta.
- Leads: 200–300 leads at $11–$22 CPL.
- Seminar attendees: 40–60 in-person attendees.
- Booked consults: 20–35 consults (~$100–$200 per booked consult).
- Revenue: ~$80,000–$150,000 in treatment plans started that week.
- ROAS: 20x–40x+ return on ad spend—before counting renewals, referrals, or long-term care.
Because the numbers were tracked by campaign and condition, leadership could see exactly where capital was being multiplied—and where new markets or locations justified investment.
Why this worked
- One clear journey: Every campaign drove to one action—reserve a seminar seat. No competing offers, no scattered CTAs.
- Provider-led authority: Prospects spent 45–60 minutes with the provider before any consult, building trust and filtering out poor fits.
- CRM automation doing the heavy lifting: GoHighLevel handled confirmations, reminders, and no-show recovery so staff could focus on patients.
- Condition-specific creative and targeting: Ads, landing pages, and seminars were tailored to the symptoms and objections for each condition.
- Relentless tracking: Each stage—lead, registration, attendance, consult, plan—was tracked so the team could quickly Cut, Fix, or Double campaigns.
