How long before I start seeing new patients from digital marketing?

Paid search ads can start producing appointment requests within the first couple weeks. Organic SEO takes longer—usually a few months before you see consistent movement. We typically recommend running both so you get short-term results while building long-term visibility.

Should a medical practice focus on Google Ads or Facebook?

Google Ads tend to bring in patients who are actively searching for care right now. Facebook is better for staying top of mind with people who might need you soon. For most practices, Google search ads are where we'd start because the intent is higher. Facebook can come later as a second layer.

Can you help with marketing specific services like physicals or urgent care?

Yes. We can build individual campaigns around specific services your practice offers. If you want to push annual wellness visits in the fall or urgent care availability on weekends, those get their own ad groups with their own targeting and landing pages.

How do I know the ads are actually bringing in patients and not just clicks?

We set up call tracking numbers and form submission tracking tied to each campaign. When someone calls your office from a Google ad, that call is logged and attributed. You get a clear count of real patient inquiries, not just traffic numbers.

Do I need a new website before running ads?

Not always, but your site does need to do a few things well. If a patient clicks an ad and can't find your accepted insurance list, book an appointment, or read about your doctors, that ad spend is wasted. We'll tell you honestly whether your current site can support a campaign or if it needs work first.

Most of That Ad Budget Is Doing Nothing

A medical practice near Lake Palestine doesn't need the same marketing plan as a hospital system in Dallas. Your patient base is local. It's specific. And the way folks in Seven Points and the surrounding Henderson County communities find a doctor is different from how someone in a metro area does it. Running broad Google Ads campaigns without narrowing your geography and intent is just paying Google for nothing.

What Actually Works for a Medical Practice

Search ads work when someone's already looking—"family doctor near me" or "urgent care Seven Points." That's high intent. Those people want to book an appointment today, not browse. We set up campaigns around those searches and cut everything else.

But not every patient finds you through Google. Some are on Facebook. Some need a reminder email that it's time for their annual physical. A real marketing plan uses a mix—search ads to catch new patients actively looking, social ads to stay visible in the community, and email to keep current patients coming back. The goal is a system, not a single channel.

We also make sure the basics are covered before spending a dime on ads. Your Google Business Profile needs to be accurate. Your site needs to show which insurance you accept, your doctors' credentials, and an easy way to book. If someone clicks an ad and lands on a page that doesn't answer their questions, that click was wasted money.

How We'd Set This Up for You

First thing—we figure out where your patients are actually coming from right now. Word of mouth? Driving past your sign on the way to the marina? Already searching online but landing on a competitor? That tells us where to start.

Then we build the campaign. For most medical practices, that means Google search ads targeting specific services and locations, a Google Business Profile that's fully built out, and either Facebook ads or email campaigns depending on what makes sense. We don't run channels just to run them. If email isn't going to move the needle for your practice, we won't pretend it will.

Tracking is the part most agencies skip or obscure. We set up call tracking and form tracking so you can see exactly how many appointment requests came from paid ads versus organic search versus everything else. You'll know what your money did. Not in some 40-slide deck—in plain numbers you can read in two minutes.

Seven Points is a small community. The lakeside tourism crowd, the residential folks, the people driving over from Gun Barrel City or Mabank—they all search differently. We account for that. A campaign that treats your whole patient base as one audience is going to waste money. We segment it, test it, and adjust monthly.

Our SEO and ads management starts at $750/mo. No long-term contract required to get started. If we're not earning our keep, you'll know—because you'll have the same data we do.
