Inside the guide

Know what to ask before you invest.

  1. Start with the right searches

    Focus on your services, your location, and appointment intent.

  2. Measure calls as well as forms

    See the enquiries that website analytics alone can miss.

  3. Follow enquiries through to attendance

    Understand what becomes a booking and an attended appointment.

  4. Give growth channels a clear role

    Know when Performance Max and social video can support Search.

Case study

IQ Skin Clinics · Athens

For IQ Skin Clinics, we combined Google Ads and other paid channels with web analytics and phone-call tracking to make patient enquiries more visible.

The integrated programme generated 10,000+ leads in 2025, with a 94% increase in leads and 52.97% lower advertising costs year over year.

Results cover calls and forms across the full programme, rather than attended appointments. Past results are not a forecast for another practice.

Beyond the lead count

The phone rings.
What happens next?

If patients call to book, website forms tell only part of the story. Suitable call tracking helps connect those calls to the advertising that generated them.

We work with your team to understand which enquiries become bookings, attendance, and revenue. That gives you a clearer basis for deciding where to invest next.

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    Did the campaign bring a relevant call or form submission?

  2. 02

    Appointment

    Did that enquiry turn into a booking?

  3. 03

    Attendance

    Did the patient attend the appointment?

  4. 04

    Value

    What revenue can reliably be connected to that activity?

Measurement must suit the clinic's systems and privacy requirements. Clinical details stay out of advertising platforms. Explore our analytics, tracking and reporting approach.

Channel roles

Give each channel a clear role

01 · Search

Capture existing intent

Search reaches people already looking for a specialist or treatment, and is usually where we start.

02 · Performance Max

Build on what works

With strong Search coverage and dependable measurement in place, assess whether Google's wider channels bring additional relevant enquiries.

03 · Social video

Build familiarity and trust

Help people get to know the doctor through videos that explain services and answer common questions. In some specialties, social also brings enquiries directly.

We choose the mix around the clinic's goals and the evidence. Reporting should explain what each activity contributes, what remains uncertain, and what we recommend next. See our Google Ads management service.

FAQ

Questions doctors ask about Google Ads

Why does medical advertising experience matter?

Google applies restrictions to healthcare content and certain targeting and measurement methods. The requirements depend on the service, the landing page, and the market. Experience helps an agency account for these requirements when designing campaigns.

Can we measure return on investment?

Yes, we can improve visibility by connecting spending with revenue directly attributed to campaigns.

Is this for large clinics or private practices?

Both. We work with large clinics and private practices, tailoring the advertising strategy to your services, budget, and capacity for new appointments.

Can you improve our existing Google Ads campaigns?

Yes. We review your existing campaigns, tracking, and results to identify opportunities for improvement. We refine targeting, ad copy, bidding, and measurement, then expand campaigns where needed to support the services you want to grow.

How long does it take to start generating patient enquiries?

Campaigns can start generating patient enquiries immediately once they are live. We then optimise and scale activity around the results, your budget, and your capacity for new appointments.

Will we own and have access to our advertising account?

Always. You retain ownership and full access to your advertising account. We are 100% transparent about your campaigns, spending, and results, so you can see how your investment is being managed.

What is included in your Google Ads management service?

Our service includes Google Ads management, tracking setup and analytics, clear reporting, and ongoing consulting to help maximise results. We work with your team to turn campaign insights into practical improvements for your clinic.

How much should a clinic invest?

A sensible starting budget depends on demand, competition, patient acquisition economics, location, and the services you want to grow. It also needs to account for how many new appointments the clinic can accommodate. A budget recommendation should explain its assumptions and how performance will be assessed.
