Before you choose a healthcare marketing agency

Questions to ask any healthcare marketing agency. Here are our answers.

Ask these of any agency you talk to, including us, and compare the answers. Ours are backed in writing by our Transparency Guarantee.

  1. Who owns the ad account and the data if I leave?

    YesYou do, from day one. Your Google Ads account sits under your own login, and if you ever leave you keep it and its data.

  2. Is your fee a percentage of my ad spend?

    NoNo. A percentage means the fee rises when the budget does, whether results do or not. Ours is a flat monthly management fee, and your ad budget goes to Google direct.

  3. How long is the contract?

    NoMonthly rolling, with 31 days’ notice. Ask any agency what it costs to leave in month three.

  4. How do you handle Google’s healthcare ad policies?

    YesWe write ads and pages to the policies first time, sell the consultation rather than a restricted product, and deal with any disapproval ourselves.

  5. Will you track bookings, not just form fills?

    YesCalls and online enquiries are both counted, by campaign, so the cost of each new patient enquiry is right.

  6. Who signs off what is said about treatments?

    YesYou do. Every claim about a treatment or an outcome is approved by you before anything goes live.

After you choose

From first call to monthly review. What happens after you enquire.

No mystery about what happens next. Here is the plan, step by step.

How we get started

  1. Day 1Tell us about your practiceWhat you offer, which treatments matter most, where patients come from now and which rules your regulator sets.
    More detail

    Your account specialist asks which treatments you most want to grow, who your regulator is and what you already spend on marketing. If you already run Google Ads or SEO, we can look at that account first with a free audit.

    You get the price before you commit, and you can add services as you go.

  2. Typically week 1Tracking firstCalls and enquiries counted by campaign before any money is spent, so every result is measured.
    More detail

    We cannot improve what we cannot measure, so tracking comes first, on every package. Calls from the ads, calls from the website and form enquiries are tracked and shown separately. Sentinel click fraud protection is switched on from day one.

  3. Typically week 1 or 2LaunchCampaigns go live and any SEO or social work begins, with your approval.
    More detail

    Timing depends on account access, your approvals and Google’s own ad review. SEO changes and social posts reach you for approval first: nothing goes out until you say yes.

  4. MonthlyReport and reviewA plain-English report, and a meeting to plan the next month.
    More detail

    Each month you get an interactive report in Mission Control and a meeting to walk through the results and plan the next step. We are open that it often takes around three months of optimisation before performance really hits its stride, and SEO builds more slowly still.

Advertising rules

Advertising rules for healthcare: what you can and cannot say

Healthcare advertising is shaped by several sets of rules at once. They differ by treatment and by profession, so the first job is to know which apply to you.

Google’s own healthcare and medicines policy

Google restricts how some treatments and medicines can be advertised, and some need certification or are not allowed at all. An ad that breaks the policy is disapproved, and repeated problems can put an account at risk.

Prescription-only medicines

Prescription-only medicines, such as anti-wrinkle injections, cannot be advertised to the public in the UK. Campaigns for those clinics promote the consultation and the clinic, not the product.

The advertising codes

The Advertising Standards Authority enforces the UK advertising codes, which cover health and beauty claims. A claim about a result has to be one you can evidence.

Your regulator

Registered professionals and providers also answer to their own regulators, such as the General Dental Council, the General Medical Council or the Care Quality Commission, which set expectations for what a practice says about itself. We write to the brief you give us, and you approve every treatment claim. We do not give legal advice.

More detail

If you are not sure which rules apply to your treatments, ask your regulator or a specialist adviser before the campaign starts, and tell us what they say. We will build the ads and pages around it.

Google Ads agency for healthcare

Google Ads for healthcare providers: new patient enquiries

As a Google Ads agency for healthcare providers we run campaigns for practices that want new patient enquiries from people already searching. The skill is in the wording, the tracking and the budget.

A healthcare Google Ads agency writes for review first

Ads, extensions and landing pages are written to pass review the first time, and checked against the policies before they go live. Where a treatment is restricted, we promote the consultation.

Healthcare PPC services built around treatments

Search campaigns are split by treatment, because someone searching for a dental implant and someone searching for a scan are worth different amounts and need different pages.

A PPC agency for healthcare that counts bookings

Calls and online bookings are both counted, by campaign. The monthly report shows the cost of each new patient enquiry, so spend follows what works.

Remarketing has limits in health

Google restricts remarketing based on health conditions, so remarketing is narrower in healthcare than elsewhere. We tell you what is and is not available for your treatments.

More detail

Google Ads usually brings in enquiries within the first few weeks, with a fair read on cost per patient after four to six weeks. It often takes around three months of optimisation to hit its stride, and nobody can promise results.

Healthcare SEO

Healthcare SEO: pages patients can trust

Patients research before they choose a clinic. Healthcare SEO builds the pages that answer their questions, so enquiries keep arriving without a charge per click. It takes months, and nobody can promise a ranking.

Health SEO services start with the questions patients ask

What does the treatment involve, what does it cost, who will I see, how long will it take? Pages that answer these plainly help patients and help search engines see what you do.

Medical SEO needs approved content

Every page about a treatment is approved by you before it goes live, so what the page says is what your practitioners are happy to stand behind.

Your Google Business Profile and reviews

For a local clinic the map results matter as much as the website. We set the profile up properly and help you ask for genuine reviews, which patients read before they book.

AI search optimisation is included

AI search optimisation (GEO) is in every SEO package, never an extra. Nobody can promise a place in an AI answer.

More detail

Local SEO starts at £185 a month + VAT and national SEO at £335, each with a one-off £195 set up.

Private clinics

Marketing for private clinics, dentists and aesthetics

A private clinic is chosen on trust. The marketing has to be easy to find, honest about what is on offer and easy to act on, by phone or online.

Make it easy to enquire

A fast site with a clear booking or call route turns more visits into enquiries. Nebula shows where visitors give up, and websites to rent start at £49 a month if the site is the problem.

Answer the phone

Enquiry calls that ring out go to the next clinic. Relay AI answers when your team is with patients and texts you the details. It takes a message; it does not give clinical advice.

Keep patients in view

A daily post, approved by you, keeps your practice in front of past and future patients. Social media management starts at £195 a month + VAT with a one-off £195 set up fee.

More detail

Patient data is sensitive. We track enquiries by campaign, not by what a patient was seeking, and we tell you plainly what the ad platforms do and do not allow.

People and AI, together

DPOM has looked after UK businesses since 2011, and your account manager still runs your account. Behind them now is a system we built in-house: tools that turn visitors into enquiries, and James, our AI, watching your account day and night.

Healthcare marketing FAQs

Healthcare marketing FAQs.

Cost and choosing

How much does healthcare marketing cost?

Our Google Ads management starts at £145 a month + VAT, separate from your ad spend. Local SEO starts at £185 a month and national SEO at £335, each with a one-off £195 set up. Social media management starts at £195 a month with a one-off £195 set up fee. Contracts roll monthly, with 31 days’ notice.

Is SEO worth it for a healthcare business?

Usually. Patients research before they choose a clinic, so pages that answer their questions, plus a strong Google Business Profile with good reviews, keep bringing in enquiries without paying per click. It builds over months, and nobody can promise a ranking.

How quickly will we see new patient enquiries?

Google Ads usually brings in enquiries within the first few weeks, with a fair read on cost per patient after four to six weeks. SEO takes three to six months before the numbers move meaningfully.

Do I own my Google Ads account?

Yes. It is set up under your own login and its data belongs to you. If you ever leave, you keep it.

Rules and your practice

Can private clinics advertise on Google?

Yes, most can, but Google restricts some healthcare and medicine advertising and certain treatments need careful wording. Prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in the UK, so campaigns for those clinics promote the consultation instead.

Who approves what the ads say about treatments?

You do. Every claim about a treatment or an outcome is approved by you before anything goes live. The advertising codes and your own regulator set limits, and we write to the brief you give us. We do not give legal advice.

Do you work with dental practices?

Yes. We work with dental practices, aesthetics clinics, private medical services and wellbeing businesses across the UK.

Can you answer calls for a clinic?

Relay AI answers calls when your team is busy or the practice is closed, takes the caller’s details and texts them to you. It takes a message and does not give clinical advice.
