UK Lead Generation Podcast

James Dooley:
If you’re a rehab company looking for more clients for your clinic, this video is for you. We're breaking down the rehab marketing strategies you should be doing — and which ones to avoid. Let’s get into it.

Step one is optimising your Google Business Profile. Reach out to all existing clients and collect as many five-star reviews as possible. GBP is a powerful local lead generator. Make sure you build citations, post regularly, and upload photos to strengthen your rankings.

Kasra Dash:
To support your Google Business Profile, create dedicated SEO-optimised service pages for each of your services. This not only helps those pages rank organically but also increases the chances of your GBP ranking for those keywords too.

James Dooley:
Another option for local leads is PPC — pay-per-click campaigns on Google or Bing. Target bottom-funnel keywords, but work with a reliable PPC agency. You’ll need strong negative keyword lists and click-fraud protection. PPC works, but in the wrong hands you can waste money.

Kasra Dash:
Then you’ve got Meta ads — Facebook and Instagram. You can run lead-form ads, which stay inside the platform, or conversion campaigns sending people to your website. Lead forms are easier but often lower quality unless you add qualification questions.

James Dooley:
Organic social media is another effective channel — regular posting on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit, and Quora. It’s a volume game, so keep a consistent publishing schedule.

Kasra Dash:
You can also use AI agents to automate clipping, posting, and scheduling content across platforms. But beyond that, businesses must focus on AI search. More people are now searching inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok. If your brand doesn't appear there, you're missing a growing traffic source.

James Dooley:
Another strong lead source is trades-people websites like Checkatrade, Bark, Builder Builder, TrustATrader, or Rated People. These can generate local leads, but you MUST track KPIs: cost per lead, cost per acquisition, and ROI. Some of our videos compare these platforms to FatRank, so check the links in the description.

Kasra Dash:
When it comes to lead-generation companies, always do due diligence. Ask if they’ve generated leads in your exact niche. Confirm your KPIs align. Understand whether they provide exclusive leads or shared leads. Shared leads often turn into price-driven races to the bottom, which is a common complaint from businesses using platforms like Bark or Checkatrade.

James Dooley:
At FatRank, we provide commission-based lead generation — you only pay a finder’s fee when a job converts and you get paid. Nothing upfront. Head over to FatRank.com to see if you qualify.

What are your thoughts on inbound vs outbound?

Kasra Dash:
Inbound leads convert much higher — around 16.1% — compared to outbound, which converts at roughly 1.4%. Inbound brings higher-quality prospects and less operational strain. Outbound (cold calling, cold emails, LinkedIn outreach) requires more volume and more staff, so it’s rarely “free.”

James Dooley:
People often ask about real-time leads. Yes, they matter a lot. Responding within one minute increases conversions by around 63%. Many businesses fail here — they're away or short-staffed and can’t handle the inbound flow.

Kasra Dash:
Exactly. If you want consistent, high-quality leads, fill out the form at FatRank. If you're the right fit, we’ll tell you. If not, we’ll explain why and what to do next.
