// US HEALTHCARE MARKETING

Healthcare marketing in the US.
HIPAA-compliant. Results-focused.

US healthcare marketing is complex. HIPAA compliance, insurance vs. cash-pay dynamics, multi-state licensing — generic agencies treat it like any other industry. It's not.

Most US healthcare practices are spending $5-25K/month on marketing agencies that report clicks instead of patients. 88% of appointments happen by phone, but nobody's tracking calls.

I specialise in healthcare marketing. HIPAA-compliant from day one. Focused on patient acquisition, not vanity metrics.

88%
Of US healthcare appointments are booked by phone. If your agency isn't tracking calls, they can't tell you what's working. Your ROI numbers are fiction.

// 01 THE US HEALTHCARE PROBLEM

US healthcare marketing is expensive and complex. Most agencies make it worse.

HIPAA compliance adds real complexity

Patient testimonials, retargeting, email marketing, form data — HIPAA touches everything. Most marketing agencies don't understand the requirements. One compliance failure can mean fines, lawsuits, and reputation damage.

US healthcare is the most competitive market in the world

Google Ads cost per click in US healthcare can reach $50-100+. At that price, every click that doesn't convert is real money lost. Without proper landing pages and tracking, you're paying premium rates for unknown results.

Insurance vs. cash-pay requires different marketing

Marketing to insured patients is fundamentally different from marketing to cash-pay patients. The decision criteria, price sensitivity, and search behaviour are completely different. One message doesn't work for both.

Multi-state practices need scalable systems

If you operate across state lines, your marketing needs to account for different licensing, different patient demographics, and different competitive landscapes. Most agencies run the same campaign everywhere.

US Dental Practice • PPC + Landing Page Overhaul

500 leads/month from PPC but landing pages untouched since launch

This US dental practice was generating 500 leads per month through Google Ads. Their agency said performance was great. But patient bookings didn't match the lead volume. The agency recommended more budget.

What I found: All traffic going to one generic services page. No procedure-specific landing pages. No phone tracking. Pages hadn't been updated since launch. The PPC was fine. The conversion funnel was the problem.

What I built: 50 procedure-specific landing pages with HIPAA-compliant forms, call tracking, and clear booking paths. Same ad budget, quadrupled patient bookings. The traffic was always there — it just wasn't converting.

"No marketer has ever created landing pages this good for us."

// 02 MY PROCESS

How I work with US practices

HIPAA-compliant from day one. Revenue-focused from day one. No learning curve on healthcare marketing.

STEP 01 // US MARKET ASSESSMENT

I map your competitive position in the US market

Local competition analysis. Patient demographics and search behaviour. Insurance vs. cash-pay dynamics in your area. Referral patterns. I understand your specific US market before making any recommendations.

STEP 02 // HIPAA-COMPLIANT STRATEGY

Marketing that works within HIPAA boundaries

Compliant forms, proper consent mechanisms, HIPAA-safe retargeting, and patient communication that meets regulatory requirements. Built into the strategy from the start, not bolted on as an afterthought.

STEP 03 // MULTI-CHANNEL CAMPAIGNS

Reaching patients where they actually search

Google Ads for high-intent searches, social for awareness and trust building, content for SEO authority, and email for patient nurture. Every channel HIPAA-compliant and connected to your booking system.

STEP 04 // PATIENT ACQUISITION

Converting clicks into patient bookings

Procedure-specific landing pages, call tracking on every page, form optimisation, and booking systems that work. I build the conversion infrastructure so your marketing produces patients, not just traffic.

STEP 05 // ATTRIBUTION + OPTIMISATION

Know exactly what every marketing dollar produces

Full attribution from ad click to patient booking. Monthly optimisation based on real patient data. You'll know your cost per patient, not just your cost per click. That's the number that determines ROI.

// 07 QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle HIPAA compliance in marketing?

Every piece of marketing I create is HIPAA-compliant from the start. That means proper consent mechanisms on forms, compliant retargeting practices, BAA-covered tools where patient data is involved, and content that doesn't expose protected health information. I build compliance into the strategy, not as an afterthought.

Do you handle marketing differently by state?

Yes. State-by-state differences in healthcare regulations, patient demographics, and competitive landscapes matter. A dental practice in Texas faces different marketing challenges than one in California. I adapt strategy, targeting, and messaging for each market while maintaining consistency across your brand.

How do you approach insurance vs. cash-pay marketing?

Insurance-based patients and cash-pay patients search differently, evaluate differently, and convert differently. I build separate campaigns and messaging for each. Cash-pay patients need price transparency and value justification. Insurance patients need to know you accept their plan and what out-of-pocket costs look like.

What does Google Ads cost for US healthcare?

US healthcare keywords are among the most expensive on Google. Cost per click can range from $15 to $100+ depending on procedure and location. That's exactly why landing page optimisation and call tracking are critical — at those prices, every click that doesn't convert is real money lost.

How do you measure ROI for US healthcare marketing?

Patient bookings, not clicks. I track every phone call, form submission, and booking back to the specific campaign, keyword, and landing page that generated it. You'll know your cost per patient, lifetime value per channel, and true marketing ROI. In US healthcare, where patient values can be $5,000-$50,000+, accurate attribution is everything.
