Who we work with in Healthcare PPC

Multi-location medical and dental groups

Groups needing location-level budget allocation and call tracking across many markets at once.

Specialty practices with high-value procedures

Practices where a single booked case justifies a real paid search investment, like orthopedics, dermatology, or dental implants.

Digital health and telehealth brands

Multi-state platforms needing campaigns structured around licensed geographies and platform health-ad policy.

Sound familiar?

Why did our Google Ads account get flagged or limited?

Usually a health-ad policy issue, often around remarketing or personalized targeting based on a health condition. We audit your account structure against current policy before relaunching.

Why is our cost per booked appointment so high?

Often broad match keywords and thin call tracking are hiding which terms actually convert. We tighten match types and add call tracking so spend concentrates on what books.

Why do we get calls that never book?

Frequently a front-desk qualification gap, not a targeting problem. Call tracking with recordings or transcripts lets us see where calls actually drop off.

What we do for Healthcare PPC

Google Ads campaign build and management

Search campaigns built around condition, specialty, and location intent, with negative keyword lists that filter out irrelevant clicks.

HIPAA-aware call tracking

Tracking that connects a specific campaign and keyword to a phone call and, where possible, a booked appointment.

Policy-safe audience and remarketing structure

Campaign and audience setup built to stay inside Google's health-ad and remarketing policies.

Location and specialty-level reporting

Budget and performance reporting broken out by location and specialty so spend can shift to what's producing booked visits.

How we track results from click to revenue

We connect Google Ads to HIPAA-aware, consent-aware call tracking and, where your practice management system supports it, booked-appointment data, so campaign optimization is based on booked visits, not just clicks or form fills.

Example integrations: CallRail, Google Ads, Athenahealth, Dentrix

Compliance notes

  • Campaigns are built to stay within Google's health-ad content policies, including restrictions on remarketing tied to health conditions.
  • We do not use the phrase "HIPAA certified." Tracking systems are designed to support HIPAA compliance and HIPAA-aware handling of patient data.
  • Ad copy avoids specific medical claims not reviewed by your clinical team.

Healthcare PPC FAQs

Can healthcare practices run Google Ads?

Yes, within Google's health-ad content policies, which restrict certain personalized targeting and remarketing based on health conditions.

How much does healthcare PPC cost per click?

It varies widely by specialty and market competitiveness. We size a realistic budget and CPC range during your audit based on your specific service lines and geography.

Do you track calls, not just form fills?

Yes, HIPAA-aware call tracking is standard on healthcare PPC programs, since a large share of conversions happen by phone.

Can you run PPC for multiple locations or specialties?

Yes, with budget and reporting broken out by location and specialty so spend can move toward what's actually producing booked visits.

What's the difference between healthcare PPC and general PPC?

Healthcare PPC has to work within stricter platform content and remarketing policies, and typically relies more heavily on call tracking than form-fill tracking alone.

How fast can we see results from healthcare PPC?

Campaigns can begin generating calls and inquiries within days of launch, though optimization toward a stable cost per booked visit typically takes four to eight weeks.

Can you help with Google Ads account suspensions?

Yes, we audit the account against current health-ad policy for the likely cause and rebuild campaign structure to reduce the risk of a repeat suspension.

Do you run Meta Ads for healthcare too?

Yes, for service lines and elective or aesthetic care where visual, awareness-building creative on Meta performs alongside Google's high-intent search capture.
