About Digital Marketing ABA

We built the agency we wished existed.

Generalist agencies could produce recommendations, but they did not understand the operating reality of ABA. We built a specialist team that connects strategy to deployed work.

Why we exist

We had to be the customer first.

We tried generalist marketing agencies. They did not know the ABA buyer, the regulatory context, or the relationship between marketing demand and clinic capacity. The work stopped at the deck.

Digital Marketing ABA was created to close that gap: a team grounded in the category that can diagnose, build, deploy, and measure the work inside one engagement.

“Too many ABA founders try to grow without a marketing function built for the work. That is the gap we are here to close.”

How we work

Four phases, one connected engagement.

Each phase has a clear purpose, working cadence, and set of deployed outcomes.

  1. Weeks 1 - 4

    Diagnose

    Score the practice across eight practical growth categories. Audit the tracking, location footprint, paid program, reputation, content, and intake path.

  2. Weeks 5 - 12

    Build

    Deploy the foundation - GA4 / GTM rebuild, EHR conversion uploads, location pages, paid campaigns relaunched. Lights on, data clean.

  3. Month 4+

    Optimize

    Compound. Content cadence, reputation flywheel, paid optimization, backlink program, outbound pipeline. Monthly reporting, quarterly strategy.

  4. Year 1+

    Compound

    Channel mixes mature. Content stacks compound. Reputation per clinic stabilizes above 4.7 stars. Outbound becomes a referral engine. Marketing turns into a multiplier you can hand to your next clinic, your next region, or your next chapter.
