Premium intent, not commodity wellness
Longevity is a premium category. Targeting must distinguish premium consideration (concierge-tier ready to pay $5,000–$25,000 annual program fees) from commodity wellness traffic (price-sensitive supplement buyers). Psychographic overlays separating self-actualization-motivated cohorts from value-conscious cohorts are the highest-leverage feature.
Specialty cohorts
Hormone optimization, peptide therapy, IV/regenerative, and concierge primary care each have distinct decay curves and conversion psychology. Models are sub-segmented; a single 'longevity' model under-serves all four.
LTV compounding
Patient LTV in longevity is compounding — initial program enrollment is followed by add-on protocols, recurring engagements, and family-member acquisition. Acquisition cost should be evaluated against compounding LTV, not first-program revenue.
