Industry benchmarks sourced from SuperAds ($3B dataset), AdAmigo.ai, WordStream (1,000+ campaigns), Triple Whale (35,000+ ad accounts), TheEDigital, and bariatric-specific agency data. All BariLead results are from live campaigns during March–April 2026.

A Three-Phase Approach That Compounds

Our methodology uses top-of-funnel video conditioning to drive down cost-per-lead across every platform — creating a self-reinforcing growth loop.

1
TOF Audience Conditioning
Doctor-led video content runs as ThruPlay campaigns at $0.01–$0.02 per completed view. This seasons the Meta pixel so the algorithm learns who a bariatric patient looks like, and builds warm custom audiences of engaged viewers.
93–97% cheaper than typical video view costs
2
Retargeted Lead Gen
Warm audiences receive lead ads with specific hooks — affordable self-pay, GLP-1 side effects, surgical permanence. Pre-educated users convert at dramatically lower cost because they already know and trust the provider.
CPLs running 58–96% below bariatric benchmarks
3
Cross-Platform Halo on Google
Meta TOF video creates branded, high-intent search traffic on Google. People who see the doctor's videos on social then search on Google with higher intent — converting at 22.92% vs. the 3–8% industry standard.
Conversion rates up to 7.6× the industry average

Why This Works in a GLP-1 World

On Google, bariatric surgery programs must aggressively exclude GLP-1 keywords like "Ozempic" and "Wegovy," shrinking their available audience. With our top-of-funnel approach on Meta, we control the narrative through content instead of competing on expensive search terms. We don't fight the GLP-1 auction — we go around it. Google captures the high-intent spillover from an audience that already knows the practice.

Two Practices. Two States. Two Models. One Methodology.

Early data across a surgery-only program and a hybrid surgery + GLP-1 program — same strategy, same result: CPLs running 75–96% below industry benchmarks on both Meta and Google.
