Tebra publishes 5,172 patient directory pages titled "Find the Best ... Near Me - Book Instantly". In a sample of 30, ten showed no providers at all and six showed only one or two. The Akron dermatologists page shows one OB-GYN in another city. Each empty page is a city and specialty where Tebra has no practices, and the SDR and Growth AE roles are about outbound to exactly those small practices.

Why it works
Rank all 5,172 pages by listed providers. For the empty and thin ones, swap the dead end for a "Are you a dermatologist in Grand Rapids? Claim the first listing free" block that links to /care/join. Feed the same city and specialty pairs to the SDRs as target lists, opening with "patients in your city search for your specialty on Tebra and find no one". Until a page has two real providers, keep it out of the index and out of the sitemap.
Fixes a broken promise to patients, turns pages that bring traffic but no bookings into sign-ups, and gives outbound a specific, local reason to call.
