Process

4 phases. One outcome.

Discovery & Audit

Before we build anything, we interview your team. Understanding your patient acquisition goals, budget constraints, and growth targets is step zero. Before we touch a single campaign, we sit down and understand your practice. What specialties do you focus on? Who are your ideal patients? What's worked before and what hasn't? We'll audit your current whatsapp chatbot for appointments setup, analyze your competitors, and identify the gaps.

Strategy & Planning

Based on what we learn, we build a custom whatsapp chatbot for appointments strategy with specific targets. Not vague promises — actual numbers: expected lead volume, projected cost per patient, and a realistic timeline. You'll know exactly what to expect before we start.

Execution & Implementation

Our team gets to work with a dedicated account manager who knows your practice, your specialty, and your market. You'll get regular updates, real-time dashboards, and direct access to the team. If something isn't working, we pivot fast.

Measurement & Optimization

Every month, we look at what drove actual patient bookings (not just clicks) and double down on what works. Your campaigns get smarter over time because we're feeding real patient conversion data back into the strategy.

Compliance by market

What the rules allow where you practise.

Operating principles

Video on service pages helps patients build trust in a provider before they book
Specialty-specific healthcare marketing outperforms generic playbooks because patient intent differs by specialty
Practices with a steady flow of recent, responded-to reviews convert local searches better than those without
Mobile-first experiences matter because most healthcare searches happen on phones

“Marketing works best as a core function of the practice, not an afterthought you'll get to later. WhatsApp Chatbot for Appointments isn't a cost center — it's your patient acquisition system.”

How much does whatsapp chatbot for appointments typically cost?

We're transparent about pricing because we know vague "it depends" answers are frustrating. For whatsapp chatbot for appointments, our fees start from $1,500/month (₹50,000/month in India) on the Practice tier (3-month minimum) and from $5,000/month (₹1,50,000/month in India) on the Hospital tier (6-month minimum); Enterprise is scoped custom (12-month minimum). The right tier depends on your practice size, market competition, and goals, and engagements run month to month once the minimum term ends. During your strategy call, we'll give you a specific quote with ROI projections.

How quickly will I see results from whatsapp chatbot for appointments?

Honestly? It depends on the channel. If we're running Google Ads, you'll start getting calls within the first week or two. SEO is a longer play — expect initial movement in 3-4 months with serious traction by month 6-12. AI and automation changes (like chatbots and automated follow-ups) show impact almost immediately. During your strategy call, we'll map out a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and market.

Will this work for my specific specialty?

We work with 113+ medical specialties — from general dentistry to cardiac surgery to IVF clinics. The approach changes significantly by specialty because patients search and decide differently. A cosmetic surgery patient's journey is completely different from an orthopedic patient's. We tailor everything to your specialty's specific patient behavior patterns.

What makes you different from other healthcare marketing agencies?

Three things, honestly. First, we only work with healthcare — we don't split attention between restaurants and hospitals. Every strategy is built for how patients actually think and search. Second, we build systems, not campaigns. Campaigns end. Our systems compound over time. Third, we measure what matters — actual patients and revenue, not impressions and clicks. If a campaign generates traffic but no appointments, we fix it.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No. We offer month-to-month because we believe if we're doing good work, you'll want to stay. That said, SEO and organic strategies need at least 6 months to show their full potential — so we'll be upfront about that. We want you to stay because you're seeing results, not because you're locked in.

Can I see results from practices like mine?

Yes — we have case studies across dozens of specialties with specific, measurable outcomes. During your strategy call, we'll share examples from practices similar to yours in terms of size, specialty, and market conditions. We're talking real numbers: patient leads, cost per acquisition, revenue growth, and ROI.
