Why paid, not free

  • It filters for serious buyers. Someone who pays $27 to $97 has decided they want help.
  • It protects the show rate. People tend to keep appointments they have paid for.
  • It can pay for the ads. When the front end covers acquisition, the back end is profit.

What makes a good evaluation

  • A specific outcome in the name: “Metabolic Health Evaluation”, not “consultation”.
  • A clear deliverable: an assessment and a written plan they take home.
  • A fixed price in the $27 to $97 range, and a fixed length.
  • A natural bridge into one of your core programs.

Common mistakes

  • Advertising five services at once.
  • Discounting the core program instead of creating an entry offer.
  • A free consult with nothing to take home.
  • An evaluation with no next step.

What to measure

  • Cost per evaluation booked, by ad and by audience.
  • Evaluation show rate.
  • Evaluation-to-program rate: the share of evaluations that enroll.

Key takeaways

  • One front-end offer, and every ad points to it.
  • Paid, specific and time-bound, with a deliverable.
  • The evaluation exists to lead into a program.
