What Our Healthcare PPC Services Include
Google Search Ads
We build campaigns targeting patients who are actively searching for your services. That means keywords like "cardiologist in Dallas" or "same day urgent care near me," high-intent searches from people who are ready to book. We research the right keywords, write the ad copy, set up conversion tracking, and manage bids to keep your cost per lead as low as possible.
Google Local Service Ads
Local Service Ads appear above regular Google Ads and show your practice name, rating, and phone number directly in search results. They work on a pay-per-lead model rather than pay-per-click, which makes them very cost effective for practices focused on local patient acquisition.
Facebook and Instagram Ads
Social media ads are useful for reaching patients who are not actively searching yet but fit the profile of your ideal patient. We build targeted campaigns based on location, age, health interests, and behaviors to get your practice in front of the right people.
Retargeting Campaigns
Most people who visit your website do not book on the first visit. Retargeting shows your ads to people who already visited your site as they browse other websites and social platforms, keeping your practice visible and bringing them back to convert.
Conversion Tracking and Reporting
We track every call, form submission, and appointment request that comes from your ads so you know exactly what your budget is producing. You get a clear monthly report showing spend, leads, cost per lead, and what is working.
Why Healthcare PPC Is Different From Regular PPC
Strict Google Ad Policies
Google has strict policies around healthcare and medical advertising. Certain conditions, treatments, and medications cannot be targeted or even mentioned in ad copy without special certification or compliance approvals. Running healthcare ads without knowing these rules leads to disapproved campaigns and wasted time.
HIPAA Compliant Targeting
Healthcare practices are subject to HIPAA, which means remarketing and audience targeting need to be set up in a way that does not use protected health information. Most general PPC agencies do not know this and set up campaigns that create compliance risks for your practice.
Healthcare Is All We Do
We manage healthcare PPC specifically, so your campaigns run within Google's policies and your practice stays protected.

What the Ad Platforms Allow
Healthcare ads are approved or rejected on a few specific rules. Campaigns have to be designed around them from the start.
| Rule | What it means | How campaigns are built around it |
|---|---|---|
| Limits on personalized ads | Google restricts ads personalized on health conditions, so remarketing is unavailable for many medical services | Remarketing is used only where the platform allows it. Otherwise campaigns rely on search intent and location. |
| Restricted treatments and drugs | Prescription drugs, addiction treatment, and some procedures need certification or cannot be advertised at all | Every service is checked against policy before an ad is written |
| No personal attributes in ad copy | Meta does not allow ads that imply the reader has a condition, such as asking whether they are struggling with diabetes | Ads describe the service and the practice, not the person reading them |
| Claims must be supportable | Guarantees, cure claims, and promised results draw disapprovals and regulator attention | Copy sticks to what the practice offers and can document |
| Patient data stays out | Patient lists and visit details are protected health information and cannot be shared with platforms that will not sign a business associate agreement | Tracking counts calls and form requests, not who the patient is |
How a Campaign Gets Built
01
Choose the Services
We start with the services you have capacity for and want more of, and check each one against the advertising policies that apply.
02
Build the Campaigns
Keywords are chosen for clear intent and your service area, irrelevant searches are excluded, and ad copy is written to match each service.
03
Landing Pages and Tracking
Each campaign points to a page about that one service, with call and form tracking so every inquiry is counted.
04
Review and Adjust
Search terms, cost per lead, and call quality are reviewed regularly, and budget moves toward what produces appointment requests.
What Ads Cannot Fix
Ads bring people to your door. They do not change what those people find. If calls go to voicemail, if the website is slow or makes booking hard, or if your reviews give a patient second thoughts, the budget pays for clicks that go nowhere. It is worth fixing those first.
It also helps to know what a new patient is worth to your practice over time, because that number decides what a sensible cost per lead is. A campaign that looks expensive per click can be very profitable for a service with a high value per patient, and the reverse is also true.
Finally, a new patient is only revenue once the visit is paid. Checking insurance eligibility before the first appointment, and having billing that follows every claim through, is what turns ad spend into collected revenue. For traffic that does not depend on a monthly budget, see healthcare SEO.
Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare PPC Services
It depends on your specialty, location, and how competitive the market is. Most practices start with a budget of $1,500 to $3,000 per month for meaningful results. We help you figure out the right starting budget based on local search volume and average cost per click in your area before you commit to anything.
Most campaigns generate leads within the first week of going live. The first month is about gathering data and optimizing. By months two and three, campaigns are typically running efficiently with a stable cost per lead.
We manage campaigns on an ongoing basis. Setting up a campaign is only the beginning. Consistent optimization of bids, keywords, ad copy, and landing pages is what keeps cost per lead low and results improving over time.
Yes, though some specialties and conditions have additional Google restrictions. We review your specialty upfront to make sure there are no advertising limitations that would affect your campaign before we start.
We can build dedicated landing pages for your campaigns as part of the service. A strong landing page is one of the biggest factors in converting clicks into actual patient inquiries.
They serve different purposes. PPC brings patients immediately but stops when you stop paying. SEO builds long-term organic traffic that does not depend on ad spend. The best approach for most practices is running both at the same time, which is something we can help with since we handle both services.
Sometimes. Google does not allow advertising that is personalized using sensitive health information, so remarketing is unavailable for many medical services. We check what applies to your specialty before a campaign is built. Where remarketing is not allowed, campaigns rely on search keywords and location instead.
Generally no. A patient list is protected health information under HIPAA, and it cannot be shared with an advertising platform that will not sign a business associate agreement. Campaigns for medical practices are built on what people search for and where they are, not on who your patients are.
