One ad strategy across Facebook, Google & YouTube.
Each platform has a job. YouTube makes you known, Facebook and Instagram build trust, Google captures people ready to book, and remarketing brings back the ones who didn't. AI ties it together and moves budget to what brings real appointments.

Questions about advertising for doctors
What is the best way to advertise a medical practice?
Combine channels by patient intent: Google Search ads for people actively looking for care, Meta and YouTube to build awareness and trust, and remarketing to remind visitors who have not booked yet.
Do Google Ads work for doctors?
Yes, for searches with clear intent, such as a service plus a location. Results depend on tight targeting, good landing pages and tracking appointment requests rather than clicks alone. Pair ads with medical SEO →
Are there rules for healthcare advertising?
Yes. Google and Meta restrict some healthcare ads and do not allow targeting based on health conditions. We follow each platform's policies and keep patient data out of ad tools.
How much should a clinic spend on ads?
It depends on your specialty, location and goals. We usually start with a modest test budget, measure cost per appointment request and scale only the campaigns that perform.
