Service brief

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) in Wellington

We serve New Zealand providers from our team in Gurugram, India.

Reach patients by age, interest and behavior with Facebook and Instagram ads, running Meta campaigns built to fill clinic calendars rather than just collect likes. In Wellington, that means working against the local results, not a national average.

Consults in Wellington run around NZ$80-300, 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: "healthcare meta ads", "facebook ads healthcare", "instagram ads medical" — each qualified to Wellington and to your specialty rather than chased at national scale.
