Reading the San Jose market for SMS Appointment Reminders

Work backwards from "clinic appointment text reminder". That single search in San Jose decides which three names a patient ever sees.

English dominant but multilingual market. 'Best doctor San Jose', 'top specialist Silicon Valley'. Vietnamese and Spanish health searches growing.

O'Connor Hospital and Stanford Health Care are the benchmark patients measure you against — not the practice two streets over.

The friction is specific, not general — stanford Health pulls patients from entire Bay Area — massive organic authority.

In San Jose the brief behind this is almost always reduce no-show rate. We report against that rather than against impressions.

One thing San Jose has going for it: health-tech startup ecosystem.
