Verdict · why we recommend it
The deciding six points.
If the practice has runway, SEO compounds: every blog post, every authority link, every doctor video accrues. PPC is rented traffic.
If the practice needs patients in week 4, PPC ships. Without it, you wait 90 days for SEO to start producing.
Most healthcare clients we run start at 60% PPC / 40% SEO at month 0. By month 18, the mix flips to 60% SEO / 40% PPC.
Specialty matters: in IVF and aesthetic, search-intent is high — SEO can shoulder more share. In acute-care, branded queries dominate, so brand+SEO win.
Local 3-pack ownership is half SEO + half ads (LSAs, Google Ads location extensions). The two reinforce each other in the SERP.
Compliance posture is gentler on SEO. ASCI / FDA-promo flags go to ads first. Both still need pre-flight review.
Receipts
What the recommended path actually ships.
Why choose us
Why healthcare brands choose us.
Six reasons hospitals, clinics, and doctors pick a healthcare-only firm over a generalist agency.
- Healthcare-only
It's all we do. No retail, no fintech — the whole team thinks in patient journeys, clinical trust, and the way people actually choose a doctor.
- AI-first systems
Receptionists, WhatsApp triage, and attribution built in-house — we answer patients in seconds and tie every click to a booked appointment.
- Compliance built-in
HIPAA, ASCI, NABH and GDPR sign-off baked into every campaign — our standard, not an upcharge or an afterthought.
- Senior on every account
The senior who pitched you stays on the engagement. No bait-and-switch to juniors learning on your budget.
- Measured to the appointment
Patient-level attribution across calls, forms, and walk-ins. Monthly reports show booked patients — not just clicks and impressions.
- Receipts, not promises
We name our clients and show the work. Quarterly reviews with the numbers attached, every cycle.
