Why

Why Growth Measurement Methodology matters

A useful strategy starts with the business and patient-journey problem—not with a channel, tool, or trend.

01

Qualified lead

A contact that meets the written treatment, geography, contactability, timing, and eligibility criteria.

02

Booked appointment

An appointment recorded in the approved calendar with required identity, treatment, time, and source fields.

03

Attended appointment

A booking marked attended by an authorized practice workflow or system integration.

How

How the work moves forward

Each stage has a defined objective, owner, inputs, approval point, and measurement plan. The sequence is adapted to the engagement rather than treated as a fixed promise.

  1. 01

    Assess

    An appointment recorded in the approved calendar with required identity, treatment, time, and source fields.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A booking marked attended by an authorized practice workflow or system integration.

  3. 03

    Build

    A permitted revenue or production value tied to the agreed attribution model and data governance rules.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Reports must state whether return uses gross production, collected revenue, estimated lifetime value, or another approved value and whether ad spend, service fee, and technology cost are included.

  5. 05

    Measure

    An appointment recorded in the approved calendar with required identity, treatment, time, and source fields.

  6. 06

    Improve

    A booking marked attended by an authorized practice workflow or system integration.

Questions & answers

Clear answers before the next step.

These answers are written to be useful to practice leaders and easy for search and answer systems to interpret in context.

How does Dentist Orbit define a qualified lead?

The definition is documented for each engagement and may include source, service area, treatment interest, contact validity, duplication rules, exclusions, and non-clinical qualification criteria.

Can revenue attribution always be complete?

No. Attribution quality depends on connected sources, call and form tracking, CRM adoption, appointment outcomes, system integrations, identity matching, and the practice providing permitted feedback.
