G! Marketing Built a Pre-Launch Lead Machine for Windy City Weight Loss
When Windy City Weight Loss & T came to G! Marketing, the business didn’t just lack visibility — it didn’t exist yet.No physical location, no customer reviews, no digital footprint. The owners wanted to make sure that when they opened their doors, people were already waiting.
This is the story of how G! Marketing turned a blank slate into a trusted, lead-generating brand before the clinic even opened.
The Challenge: Launching a Brand That Didn’t Exist Yet
Launching a new business is tough. Launching a healthcare brand in a crowded Chicago market is even tougher.
Windy City Weight Loss needed to:
✅ Build instant trust in a sensitive industry (weight loss & hormone therapy).
✅ Be findable online for people searching for weight loss solutions.
✅ Generate real leads and inquiries before the grand opening.
Most businesses wait until after they open to worry about marketing. But Windy City Weight Loss wanted to be busy from day one.
The Solution: Building the Entire Digital Presence Before Day One
G! Marketing became the launch team — handling every step of the digital rollout.
Google My Business Setup – We built and optimized Windy City Weight Loss’s Google Business Profile, making them searchable long before their clinic opened.
Reputation Acceleration – Using a pre-launch review strategy, we helped them establish a 5-star rating on Google with early advocates and test clients.
SEO & Local SEO Strategy – We optimized their brand for keywords like weight loss therapy in Chicago, prescription weight loss, and hormone replacement therapy. This ensured they would appear when people searched for solutions in their area.
Pre-Launch PPC Campaigns – Our Google Ads campaigns targeted local audiences looking for weight loss options, driving inquiries and appointment requests before the doors opened.
Brand Positioning – We crafted clear, professional messaging that made Windy City Weight Loss look like the trusted choice for weight loss therapy in Chicago — even before their first official day.

✅ Leads came in before opening day — patients were already calling and booking.
✅ 5-Star Google Rating was in place before the ribbon was cut.
✅ The business showed up first when locals searched for weight loss solutions.
