Paid search can put your practice in front of people already looking for relevant healthcare services. We plan and manage healthcare PPC around the search, the landing page and what happens after the click.
Healthcare advertising isn't ordinary lead generation. Campaign planning needs to consider the service, the message, the landing page and the platform.
We build campaigns with those considerations in mind and flag areas that may need specialist review. We don't make blanket “AHPRA compliant” claims.

What You Advertise Matters as Much as How You Advertise It.
Some healthcare campaigns need another level of review. A health-service advertisement can also raise therapeutic-goods advertising considerations depending on what it promotes directly or indirectly.
We'd rather identify that before the budget starts moving.
Targeting
Healthcare Targeting Needs More Care.
Advertising platforms can offer powerful audience tools. That doesn't mean every targeting option should be used.

Sensitive categories
Sometimes the Right Recommendation Is Not to Run It.
Whether remarketing or personalised advertising is appropriate depends on the healthcare service, campaign, data involved and platform rules.
Measurement
Measure Performance Without Collecting Data Just Because You Can.
PPC needs measurement. Healthcare requires greater care around what happens between the ad click, website, tracking technology and advertising platform.
Measurement should answer a business question. Not collect everything available.

PPC audit
You Might Not Need More Ad Spend.
Maybe the structure is the problem. Maybe you're paying for irrelevant searches. Maybe every ad leads to the homepage. Maybe the campaign works and the problem begins after the click.
Healthcare PPC uses paid advertising platforms such as Google Ads to place a healthcare organisation in relevant eligible advertising placements. Search intent, landing pages, measurement and what happens after the enquiry all matter.
Is Google Ads allowed for healthcare practices in Australia?
Many healthcare services can use Google Ads, but eligibility depends on what is being advertised. Platform, healthcare-advertising and therapeutic-goods requirements may apply.
How much should a healthcare practice spend on Google Ads?
There isn't a responsible universal number. Budget depends on services, locations, demand, competition, click costs, landing pages and the practice's capacity.
Can you guarantee a number of patients or enquiries?
No. We can improve campaign structure, targeting, messaging, landing-page alignment and optimisation, but we don't control individual patient decisions.
Can healthcare practices use remarketing?
It depends on the service, campaign, data and platform rules. We review the specific context before recommending it.
Can we use patient testimonials in our ads?
Advertising regulated health services is subject to specific requirements around testimonials. We would not build a campaign around patient treatment testimonials.
Can we advertise discounts or special offers?
Potentially, but the promotion and applicable healthcare-advertising requirements should be reviewed before launch.
Can we advertise prescription treatments?
This requires particular care because therapeutic-goods advertising requirements may apply. We flag these campaigns for appropriate review.
Do you create PPC landing pages?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can improve an existing destination or create a dedicated landing-page experience around the search intent.
Do you manage PPC and SEO together?
Yes. Paid and organic search can share useful search-term, demand and landing-page insights.
