Marketing for healthcare and dental practices

Patients are searching for a practice near them. Are they finding yours?

You trained to look after patients, not to read Google Ads reports. I check what your marketing is actually doing, with real data and facts, show you where it's leaking, then tell you in plain English how to turn local searches into booked appointments.

What I usually find

The everyday problems I find in healthcare marketing

When I audit a dental practice, clinic, aged care provider or gym, the same problems turn up again and again. Most owners don't know they're there.

Ads paying for the wrong searches. Job seekers, students and people outside your area, all charged to your account.

No conversion tracking. Nobody can say which calls or bookings came from which dollar of spend.

Reports that count activity, not bookings. Rankings, impressions and clicks, but never the number of appointments.

Paying platforms for patients. Booking and directory fees for people who could have found you directly.

A Google Business Profile left half finished. Wrong categories, few photos and no routine for collecting reviews.

A website that doesn't work on a phone. Slow, no tap-to-call or online booking, and stock photos instead of your team.

Accounts in someone else's name. The domain, website or ad account belongs to the agency, not the business.

I listen to what's happening and tell you honestly whether I can help. If I can, a full audit is how I find out which of these problems are costing you, and what to fix first.

How many of these sound familiar?

These turn up again and again when I look inside a business's marketing.

Your monthly report is full of graphs but never says how many calls or quotes you got.

You don't have the login to your own Google Ads account or website.

You're locked into a 6 or 12 month contract.

They talk about "rankings" and "impressions", not appointments booked.

You're paying booking or directory sites for patients who could have found you directly.

Enquiries come from outside your area, or for treatments you don't offer.

Your website shows stock photos, not your team and your practice.

Nobody can tell you what one lead costs you.

Your "marketing" is boosting Facebook posts.

How I work differently

A typical agency or contractor versus working with me

A specialist looks after one channel and gets paid whether the rest of your marketing works or not.

I look at all of it: your website, ads, social media, content and how your brand comes across. If something outside the job I'm doing is holding the results back, I'll tell you, because it affects whether my work pays off.

Every month you leave it

Your next patient is searching Google right now.

Who are they finding?

People search for a practice near them, then choose the one that looks trustworthy and is easy to book.

When your website and Google profile don't do that, the practice down the road gets the appointment.

SEO, GEO, AEO and AIO

Get recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity

More customers now ask an AI assistant who to call, as well as Google and Google Maps. Whether it's called SEO, GEO, AEO or AIO, it comes down to one thing: being the business that search engines and AI platforms trust enough to recommend.

Getting cited isn't about gaming the system. AI platforms quote businesses that publish clear, specific and trustworthy information about the work they do. That's what I help you create.

Information worth quoting

Service pages that explain what you do, who it's for and what it costs, in plain English an AI can quote.

Proof AI can check

Case studies, reviews and real photos that show you've done the work, not just claimed it.

The same story everywhere

Consistent details on your website, Google profile and directories, so AI platforms trust who you are and where you work.

You deal with me, start to finish

I've sat on the client side of the agency report

Before going independent in 2015 I spent 20 years in senior marketing roles, signing off agency budgets at Logitech, Hewlett Packard, Lotus Cars and Dick Smith. At Lotus Cars Australia I helped deliver $3M+ in new vehicle sales growth on a marketing budget under $50,000.

So I know what a padded report looks like, and which numbers an agency leaves out. For you, that means one person who checks the work, explains it in plain English, and puts every account in your name.

Questions

Healthcare marketing questions, answered

What practice owners ask before booking.

I already have an agency. Is this still worth it?

That's usually when it's most useful. I check independently whether what you're paying for is turning into calls and bookings. Stay with them or don't, either way you'll know.

I run a single-location practice. Will this work for me?

Yes. The check is built around your size, your local area and the treatments you want more of.

Do I have to stop using booking platforms and directories?

Not straight away. We compare what each booking costs you there against what your own website and Google profile could bring in, then decide.

What do I need to give you?

Access to Google Ads, Analytics, Search Console and your Google Business Profile, plus your last agency report and invoice. Every account stays in your name.

How quickly will I see more bookings?

Fixing your Google profile, tracking and wasted ad spend can show up within weeks. SEO builds over months and keeps compounding.

Will you lock me into a contract?

No. Fixed prices, a retainer or a payment plan, with the scope agreed before anything starts and no lock-in.
