How to Edit Leads in Your Marketing IQ Dashboard

Created by Emily McClendon, Modified on Fri, 26 Jul at 3:31 PM by Alyssa Elso

Categorizing leads helps you get an accurate picture of the actual number of leads your office receives by filtering out non-lead calls. This improves your lead conversion ratio and gives you a precise count of leads generated from referral sources. It also helps you measure the effectiveness of your marketing strategy and provides insights for continuous optimization. We recommend categorizing calls once a week.


Steps to Categorize Calls in Marketing IQ:


Step 1: Access Call List

  • Go to the Marketing IQ dashboard.
  • Click on the Call List tab.


  • Find the Leads section listing all the calls.



Step 2: View Lead Details

  • Click on a lead's row to see more information.
  • You will have options to:
    • Open a text conversation with the lead.
    • Copy a permalink of the lead.
    • Assign the lead to a staff member.
    • Mark the lead as not reviewed.
    • Flag the lead for further attention.
    • Leave a note on the lead.


Step 3: Determine Call Category

  • Listen to the call recording or read the call transcription.
  • Decide if the call is a Lead or Not a Lead.


Step 4: Categorize the Call

  • If the call is a Lead, mark it as Converted or Not Converted.
    • Converted: The patient scheduled a valid appointment.
    • Not Converted: The patient did not schedule an appointment.



Step 5: Understanding 'Converted' Status

  • Converted: A new patient has a valid appointment (i.e., they haven’t canceled or missed it).
  • Marketing IQ automatically marks a lead as Converted when it finds an appointment for that phone number in your practice management system (PMS).
  • If a patient cancels, the status changes to Converted-Lost.


Step 6: Manually Marking a Lead as Converted

  • If a lead isn't automatically marked as converted (e.g., patient calls from a different number), manually select the patient's name to mark it as Converted.


Step 7: Handling 'Not Converted' Leads

  • Mark a lead as Not Converted if the patient did not schedule an appointment.
  • Reasons for not converting include: Missed, Dropped, Hung up on hold, Appointment not available, Inconvenient hours, Out of network, Medicaid, Shopping around, and Uncategorized.


Step 8: Identifying 'Not a Lead' Calls

  • After reviewing the call recording or transcription, identify if the call is Not a Lead (e.g., calls from other practices, laboratories, or insurance companies).
  • Categorize these calls for reasons such as Uncategorized,  Existing Patient, Never-a-Lead, Other Contact, Unsolicited Calls, Medicaid, and Wrong Number. 


Detailed Categories for 'Not a Lead' Calls:

  • Uncategorized: Calls that don't fit into any specific category.
  • Existing Patient: Calls from existing patients or their family members using different numbers.
  • Never a Lead: Calls that will never result in a new patient (e.g., calls from other offices).
  • Other Contact: Calls from vendors, insurance companies, laboratories, specialists, or staff.
  • Unsolicited Calls: Calls from telemarketing companies.
  • Medicaid: Calls related to Medicaid services.
  • Wrong Number: Calls that were made to your office by mistake.
