5 phases. One outcome.
Platform Audit & Audience Research
We start with data, not assumptions. Our AI tools analyze your market, competitors, and patient search behavior to find the gaps in your short form video creation strategy. We audit your current social presence across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube. We analyze what your competitors are doing, what content your target patients engage with, and which platforms your specific demographic uses most. For healthcare in 2026, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts dominate for patient acquisition.
Content Strategy & Calendar
We build a monthly content calendar with 4-5 content pillars tailored to your specialty. For short-form video creation, this typically includes: physician-led educational content, patient stories (with consent), behind-the-scenes practice content, health myth debunking, and trending health topic reactions. Every piece follows the 90/10 rule — 90% educational, 10% promotional.
Content Production & Physician Coaching
Our team produces content or coaches your physicians to create authentic short-form video. We handle scripting, filming guidance, editing, caption writing, and hashtag/keyword strategy. For doctor accounts, we focus on the saveable carousel and 60-90 second educational Reel formats that Instagram's 2026 algorithm rewards most.
Community Management & Engagement
We manage daily engagement: responding to comments, DMs, and mentions within 2 hours. We run engagement campaigns, collaborate with other medical creators, and manage your online reputation. For healthcare, we ensure all public-facing responses follow medical advertising guidelines.
Performance Analysis & Growth Scaling
Monthly analytics track reach, engagement, saves (the #1 ranking signal in 2026), follower growth, and website traffic from social. More importantly, we track patient attribution — how many appointments can be traced back to social media. We double down on content formats that drive bookings and sunset what doesn't work.
Compliance by market
What the rules allow where you practise.
Healthcare advertising law differs by country, so we run each market’s own playbook. In India, NMC’s 6 Oct 2026 guidelines apply. Read the NMC guide.

Operating principles
- Healthcare search ads reward tight intent targeting and compliant, condition-specific landing pages
- 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
“In healthcare marketing, trust isn't a nice-to-have — it's the whole conversion mechanism. Every piece of your Short Form video creation strategy should answer one question: why should a patient trust you with their health?”

How much does short form video creation typically cost?
We're transparent about pricing because we know vague "it depends" answers are frustrating. For short form video creation, 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 short form video creation?
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.
How often should a healthcare practice post on social media?
Quality beats quantity, but consistency matters. We recommend 3-5 posts per week on Instagram (mix of Reels, carousels, and stories), 2-3 on Facebook, and 1-2 on LinkedIn for physician personal branding. The key isn't hitting a number — it's maintaining a consistent presence so the algorithm rewards your account. We'll build a content calendar that's sustainable for your team without sacrificing quality.
What type of content works best for healthcare social media?
The top performers we see across healthcare accounts: physician-led educational short videos (60-90 seconds explaining a condition or procedure), patient transformation stories (with consent), medical myth debunking, behind-the-scenes practice content, and trending health topic reactions. The 90/10 rule works: 90% educational and engaging content, 10% promotional. Saveable content (carousels with tips, infographics) drives the most algorithmic reach in 2026.
How do we stay HIPAA-compliant on social media?
HIPAA compliance on social media comes down to three rules: never share patient information without written consent (even in comments or DMs), never photograph patients without explicit permission and a signed release, and never discuss specific cases — even anonymously — if they could be identifiable. We train your team on these boundaries and review all content before posting. We also set up private DM protocols so patient inquiries are handled through compliant channels.
