What our clients say

What we optimize for

Booked appointments beat vanity metrics

You care about a full schedule, the right patients and a cost per booking that makes sense. So that’s exactly what we build campaigns and reporting around.

Booked appointments

Every campaign is measured against real bookings — not clicks or impressions.

Qualified calls

We track and score the phone calls that actually come from your ads.

Cost per appointment

We optimise toward a cost per booked patient that works for your clinic.

Lead quality

The right patients, for the services you want, in your service area.

We don’t chase: Impressions Click-through rate Keyword counts “Traffic” with no context

What we do

Two ways to win on Google

Get your clinic found on Google two ways — paid search (Google Ads) for immediate, trackable bookings, and organic search (SEO) that compounds over time. We do both, and connect them to real appointments.

Paid search

Google Ads

Best for immediate, trackable bookings from high-intent searches.

  • Top-of-page for high-intent searches
  • Call, form & appointment tracking
  • Tight keyword & negative-keyword control
  • Geo-targeting & full budget control
Organic search

SEO & Local Search

Lasting visibility that keeps working without paying per click.

  • Local SEO & Google Business Profile
  • First-page organic rankings
  • Service & location content, technical SEO
  • AI / LLM search visibility

Paid brings fast, trackable bookings; organic compounds over time. Together, you own more of the search results page.

Healthcare expertise

Clinic campaigns need more care than a generic setup

Healthcare searches are local, competitive and full of intent. We build Google Ads and SEO around real patient actions — not just clicks.

Physiotherapy

Reach people searching for the treatments you offer, and see which ads book real appointments.

Chiropractic

Get noticed in a busy local market — without paying for clicks that never book.

Counselling & therapy

Sensitive searches handled with care — respectful ads and private, accurate tracking.

Multidisciplinary

Spend follows capacity — split across your practitioners, services and locations.

How it works

A simple, honest four-step process

01

Understand the clinic

Your services, geography, capacity, and current ads, website and tracking.

02

Build the campaign

Keyword structure, geo-targeting, negatives, and call, form and appointment tracking.

03

Launch & learn

Watch search terms, calls, forms, appointments, lead quality and cost per conversion.

04

Improve & scale

Scale what books patients across paid and organic — the top services and locations.

Real people, not a black box

Your campaign is managed by a real strategist

AI helps us research faster, but real strategists control your work — Google Ads structure, bids and search terms on the paid side, and content and rankings on the SEO side.
