// GOOGLE ADS FOR HEALTHCARE

Google Ads for healthcare.
Beyond set and forget.

Your Google Ads agency set up the campaigns, tweaked the bids a few times, and now they're running on autopilot. Meanwhile, your landing pages haven't been touched since launch.

I manage Google Ads as part of a connected system. Ads match landing pages. Phone calls are tracked. AI bidding is fed with real conversion data. Every part of the system works together.

You don't need a bigger budget. You need a better system.

// 01 THE GOOGLE ADS PROBLEM

Why your Google Ads aren't delivering.

Set-and-forget campaigns

Your agency launched the campaigns months ago. They adjust bids occasionally and send you a monthly report. But the ad copy hasn't been refreshed. The keyword strategy hasn't evolved. The landing pages haven't been tested. Google Ads isn't a "set it and forget it" channel. It's a living system that needs continuous attention.

No landing page connection

Your Google Ads agency manages the ads. A different agency (or nobody) manages the landing pages. The ad says one thing. The page says another. Patients click, don't see what they expected, and leave. You paid $10-50 for that click and lost it at the page.

Agencies just manage bids

Bid management is the easy part of Google Ads. The hard part is matching ad copy to patient intent, building landing pages that convert, setting up proper conversion tracking, and connecting everything to patient revenue. Most agencies do the easy part and charge for the hard part.

Incomplete conversion tracking

Your agency tracks form submissions. Maybe they track click-to-call on mobile. But 88% of healthcare appointments come through phone calls, and most practices don't have proper call tracking. Your Google Ads Smart Bidding algorithm is learning from incomplete data — optimising for the wrong things.

Dental Practice • Google Ads System Fix

$0 more ad spend. 4x more patients. Fix the system, not the budget.

This dental practice was spending $5K/month on Google Ads. The agency managing ads said conversions were low and recommended increasing budget to $8K. But the ads were fine — the system around them was not.

What I found: Search ads for "dental implants" sending traffic to a generic practice homepage. No procedure-specific landing pages. 12-field contact form. No phone tracking despite 80%+ of bookings coming by phone. Smart Bidding learning from form fills only — a fraction of actual conversions.

What I built: Procedure-specific landing pages matching each ad group. Shortened form to 4 fields. Dynamic phone tracking on every page. Fed real conversion data into Smart Bidding. The algorithm could finally optimise for patients instead of clicks. Same budget, 4x the results.

"We didn't need more budget. We needed someone who managed the whole system, not just the ads."

// 02 MY PROCESS

How Google Ads should actually work for healthcare

Not bid management. A connected system where Google Ads, landing pages, phone tracking, and AI bidding all work together.

STEP 01 // FULL SYSTEM AUDIT

I audit beyond the ad account

I look at the ads, the landing pages, the tracking, the patient journey end-to-end. Most Google Ads "audits" only look at the ad account. The problems are usually somewhere between the click and the patient — on the landing page, in the tracking, or in the phone system.

STEP 02 // FIX THE LANDING PAGES

Match every ad to a specific page

Each ad group gets a landing page that matches its messaging exactly. Ad says "dental implants from $3,500" — the page delivers implant pricing, social proof, and a clear booking path. No more generic pages. No more messaging disconnects. I build the pages myself.

STEP 03 // COMPLETE CONVERSION TRACKING

Phone calls + forms + everything

I set up dynamic phone tracking so every call is attributed to its keyword, ad, and landing page. Form submissions, chat conversations, and appointment bookings are all tracked. For the first time, you see the true cost per patient — not just cost per click.

STEP 04 // AI BIDDING WITH REAL DATA

Smart Bidding that actually works

Google's Smart Bidding is powerful — but only with complete data. Most healthcare accounts feed it form submissions only, missing 88% of conversions. With full tracking in place, the algorithm optimises for actual patients. Better data means better bidding means lower cost per patient.

STEP 05 // CONTINUOUS OPTIMISATION

Weekly reviews, monthly tests, quarterly strategy

Google Ads isn't set and forget. I review performance weekly. I test new ad copy, landing page variants, and audience segments monthly. I reassess strategy quarterly. When something works, I scale it. When something doesn't, I cut it. No autopilot.

// 03 THE DIFFERENCE

Set-and-forget vs. connected Google Ads

Set-and-Forget Agency

Campaign launched months ago, minimal changes since
Same ad copy running for months without testing
Landing pages built by someone else, never reviewed
Form-only tracking — phone calls invisible
Smart Bidding on incomplete data
Monthly report focused on clicks and impressions
15-20% media markup on ad spend
Solution to poor results: increase budget

Connected Google Ads

Weekly reviews — campaigns actively managed and optimised
Ad copy tested monthly — headlines, descriptions, extensions
Landing pages built and tested — by the same person managing ads
Full conversion tracking — phones, forms, chats, bookings
Smart Bidding with complete data — optimising for patients
Revenue reporting — cost per patient, not cost per click
No media markup — flat fee, 100% of budget goes to ads
Fix the system first — then scale what's proven

// 05 THE MATH

Why fixing landing pages matters more than increasing budget

Most agencies tell you to spend more. The math shows you should convert better first.

More Budget Approach

  • Current: $5K/month, 2% conversion = 60 leads/month
  • Agency says: increase to $10K = 120 leads/month
  • Cost per lead stays the same: $83
  • Landing pages still underperforming
  • Phone calls still untracked
  • You're paying twice as much for twice as many mediocre results

Better System Approach

  • Same $5K/month, fix pages to 8% conversion = 240 leads/month
  • Cost per lead drops to $21
  • Phone tracking reveals additional conversions
  • Smart Bidding optimises for patients with complete data
  • Same budget, 4x more patients
  • Now scale to $10K with a proven system = 480 leads/month
$0 more ad spend, 4x more patients

Fix the landing pages. Track the phones. Feed the algorithm complete data. Then scale. That's how Google Ads should work for healthcare.

// 06 WHO THIS IS FOR

This is for you if

Your Google Ads campaigns are on autopilot

  • Campaigns launched months ago with minimal changes
  • Same ad copy running since setup
  • Agency sends monthly reports but nothing changes
  • You suspect the campaigns could perform better

Your cost per patient keeps climbing

  • Spending more each month but patient volume is flat
  • CPC increasing without corresponding conversion improvements
  • Agency's answer is always "increase the budget"
  • You don't know your true cost per patient (just cost per click)

Your ads and pages don't match

  • Ads promise specific procedures or pricing
  • Landing pages are generic or just your homepage
  • Different agencies manage ads and pages (if anyone manages pages)
  • Patients click, don't see what they expected, and leave

You want one person managing the whole system

  • Done with separate agencies for ads and web
  • Want ads, landing pages, and tracking managed together
  • Need accountability for patients, not just clicks
  • Ready for a system that works, not just campaigns that run
// 07 QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you take over our existing Google Ads account?

Yes. I start with an audit of your existing campaigns, landing pages, and tracking. I identify what's working, what's wasting money, and what's missing. Then I restructure systematically — keeping what works, fixing what doesn't, and building what's missing. You'll see improvements within the first 30 days.

Do you also build the landing pages?

Yes, and that's what makes the difference. The person writing your ad copy is the same person building your landing pages. Message match is built in, not bolted on. When I change an ad headline, I change the landing page headline to match. No handoff. No disconnect. One person, one system.

How is your fee structured?

Flat monthly fee — no percentage of ad spend, no media markup. 100% of your ad budget goes to Google, not to my margin. This means I have no incentive to recommend higher budgets. I recommend what will actually produce patients, even if that means spending less.

What's a realistic timeline for results?

Quick wins (fixing landing page mismatches, adding phone tracking) show results within 2-4 weeks. Campaign restructuring takes 30-60 days to optimise. Full system maturity — where Smart Bidding has enough data and landing pages are tested — takes 90 days. That's why I recommend a minimum 3-month engagement.

What if we also run Meta Ads?

I manage both. For healthcare, Google Ads typically handles high-intent searches (patients looking for specific procedures), while Meta Ads works well for awareness, retargeting, and specific audience targeting. I build landing pages that work for both platforms and ensure tracking covers all channels. One connected system.
