Service brief

Google Ads for Healthcare in Rotterdam

We serve Netherlands providers from our team in Gurugram, India.

Search and Performance Max campaigns built for appointment volume, with the negative-keyword discipline that keeps a healthcare account from paying for symptom research. In Rotterdam, that means working against the local results, not a national average.

Consults in Rotterdam run around €50-200, so the economics of a booked patient here are specific. We model cost-per-booked-patient against that number, not a borrowed benchmark from another market.

The queries we build toward: "google ads for healthcare", "ppc for doctors", "medical google ads agency", "hospital google ads" — each qualified to Rotterdam and to your specialty rather than chased at national scale.
