SEO for Scientists: How D3 Digital Gets Healthcare Companies Found
Manage episode 493374508 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders, Future, with host Ammar Elm, we sit down with Don Davis, founder and CEO of D3 Digital Media Marketing, an agency specializing in strategic marketing for healthcare and life science companies. Don shares his journey from frustrated client ("I spent a lot of my own money on ineffective digital marketing") to agency founder, revealing how his team delivers measurable results through SEO, content creation, and web design—with an 84% client retention rate. He breaks down his "start-to-finish" approach to generating qualified leads, emphasizing the importance of aligning content with what audiences actually search for, not just what clients think they need.**
Don also opens up about scaling challenges, including his reluctance to fully delegate sales ("I don’t like the ‘manipulative’ side of closing") and his counterintuitive advice for new agency owners: Master the service you’re selling before hiring. With D3 on track to hit $1M in revenue by September, Don shares hard-won lessons on client onboarding (6-month retainers only), team culture (his core team has stayed since day one), and why LinkedIn content—not cold outreach—fuels his referral-driven growth. For founders tired of "vanity metric" marketers, this episode is a masterclass in accountability-driven agency building.
