Why your Google Ads aren’t booking patients
PPC for medical clinics works because people are already searching. But most clinics lose their budget in the same five places, and every one of them can be fixed.
Search terms
consultation near mefree consultationclinic jobscheap treatmentYou pay for the wrong searches.
Without careful keyword choices and negative keywords, your budget goes to people searching for free services, jobs or things you don't offer.

Limited by policy
Your ads get limited or disapproved.
Google has a strict healthcare ad policy. Some services and words need extra care, or your ads may not show at all.

Every click lands on your homepage.
People searching for one specific service land on a general page, can't find what they need and leave.

You don't know which keywords bring patients.
Most accounts only track clicks or form fills, not which searches actually turned into booked consults.
How we run your Google Ads management, step by step
Every part of your Google Ads, in the order a strong account is built, from a clean setup to the call that turns into a booked consult. Take all eight steps as full management, or choose only the services you need.
We audit your current account if you have one, or set up a new one that you own. We connect your Google Business Profile and Google Analytics, set up billing and team access, and apply for any Google approvals your services need under Google's healthcare policy.
What you get
- Google Ads account audit report
- Account setup in your name
- Google Business Profile and Analytics linked
- Help with Google healthcare approvals, if needed
We find the high-intent searches people use when they're ready to book, like your services plus "near me" or your city. Each service gets its own campaign plan, with a monthly budget recommendation based on real costs in your area.
What you get
- High-intent keyword list for each service
- Campaign plan
- Monthly budget recommendation
From day one we block searches for free services, jobs, training, cheap deals and anything you don't offer. Every week we review the real searches that triggered your ads and add new negatives, which matters even more for a cash-pay clinic.
What you get
- Starting negative keyword list
- Weekly search term reviews
- Ongoing waste reduction
We build campaigns and ad groups for each service and write ads that say plainly what you offer and why to choose you. We add ad assets like call buttons, your location, sitelinks and short highlights, so your ad takes up more space and earns more calls.
What you get
- Search campaigns for each service
- Responsive search ads
- Call, location, sitelink and callout assets
People searching for one service should land on a page about that service, with a clear next step and an easy way to call or book. We build or improve these pages for speed and mobile, which also raises your ad quality and lowers what you pay per click.
What you get
- A landing page for each main service
- Click-to-call and booking buttons
- Speed and mobile checks
We track calls and form submissions, and connect your CRM so we can see which keywords led to booked consults, not just clicks. Google Ads and Analytics aren't built to hold patient health information, so no health details are ever sent to Google.
What you get
- Call and form conversion tracking
- CRM connection for booked consults
- Privacy-safe setup with no health data shared
We adjust bids, budgets, locations and ad schedules based on real results, test new ads and landing pages, and check every new keyword and ad against Google's healthcare policy so your account stays in good standing.
What you get
- Weekly bid and budget changes
- Ad and landing page tests
- Policy checks on every change
Every lead goes into your CRM, missed calls get an instant text back and our AI receptionist replies in seconds. Each month you get a plain-English report on spend, calls, inquiries and cost per inquiry, plus a strategy call.
What you get
- Missed call text back and instant replies
- Leads synced to your CRM
- Monthly report and strategy call
