Healthcare advertising on Google and Meta in Kalamassery

• Negative keyword lists that stop spend on job seekers and students, such as searches for 'staff nurse vacancy' or 'MBBS admission', and on free-treatment searches
• Ad schedules matched to OPD and call-centre hours, so call ads run only when someone is there to answer
• One landing page per campaign showing the treatment, the doctors, the location and visible call and WhatsApp buttons
• Ad copy and creatives in Malayalam and English, and Arabic for Gulf audiences where needed, checked against the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act, the ASCI code and the Google and Meta healthcare policies before submission
• Tracking for calls, WhatsApp clicks and form enquiries, set up so enquiries are still counted if Meta restricts the website data your account can share as a health advertiser
• Regular reviews of the search terms patients actually typed, with budget moved towards the departments and audiences producing real enquiries

1. 1
   Goal. We agree one measurable goal per campaign, such as more consultations for one treatment at one branch or more enquiries for a service patients nearby already search for, and the test budget you are comfortable with. In Kalamassery, the benchmark is the three nearest hospitals and clinics on Google Maps.
2. 2
   Build. We open or audit the ad accounts in your name, write and compliance-check the ads, build the landing pages and test that every call and WhatsApp click is recorded.
3. 3
   Launch. Campaigns start on a modest daily budget around Kalamassery, and in the first weeks we read the real search terms and comments closely to cut waste early.
4. 4
   Optimise and report. Through the month budget moves to what brings enquiries, and each month you get spend, enquiries and cost per enquiry by department, with a clear recommendation to scale, change or stop. We compare enquiries from Kalamassery with those from Edappally and Cheranalloor and widen the radius where it pays.

Kalamassery is home to Government Medical College Ernakulam and the Cochin Cancer Research Centre, with pharmacies, labs, dialysis and imaging centres clustered nearby for their patients and bystanders. Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), the KINFRA Hi-Tech Park and the industrial belt towards Eloor add students and shift workers, while long-settled families around Premier junction and South Kalamassery rely on family clinics, paediatricians and dentists. Students new to Kochi choose clinics on recent reviews and WhatsApp replies, shift workers search for 'clinic open 8 pm' or 'open Sunday', and medical college visitors search urgently, often in Malayalam, for scans, labs and pharmacies near the campus.

We run healthcare advertising on Google and Meta by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and diagnostic centres in Kalamassery are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KalamasseryThe Eloor–Edayar industrial belt and the KINFRA Hi-Tech Park sit next to Kalamassery, so a local hospital is judged partly on casualty readiness and on OPD timings that suit shift workers.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in KalamasseryOutpatients and bystanders at the Government Medical College sometimes need scans, tests and reports outside the hospital, and they search on their phones, often in Malayalam, from the campus itself.
• Cancer centre marketing in KalamasseryA cancer centre in Kalamassery works near the public Cochin Cancer Research Centre on the Government Medical College campus, and families comparing options often read about each stage of treatment before they decide.
• Mental health clinic marketing in KalamasseryCUSAT and the colleges around Kalamassery bring in students living away from home for the first time, who tend to look for counselling and psychiatric help privately online and expect a discreet, quick reply.

Search ads can bring calls within the first week if the landing pages and tracking are ready, but the first four to eight weeks are mostly about learning which searches and audiences turn into real patients. A stable cost per enquiry usually takes two to three months to establish, and it varies with specialty, season and how quickly your team answers. Ad spend is paid by you directly to Google and Meta and never passes through Adserr, and our management fee for planning, creative, landing pages, tracking and optimisation is separate. The fee depends on the number of campaigns, departments, branches and languages, and on how many landing pages need building. Offline media such as hoardings and print is paid separately, directly to the media owner. See how our pricing works.

From Kalamassery, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 10 km, 20 to 30 minutes by road. The Container Road from Kalamassery comes straight to us, so there is no need to go through Edappally junction. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Premier junction, HMT junction and South Kalamassery, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• Healthcare advertising (Google & Meta ads): how we work

Why do Google or Meta keep rejecting our ads for a treatment?

Health ads are reviewed more strictly than most. Common reasons are claims of cure or guaranteed results, before-and-after or body-focused images, wording that suggests the viewer has a condition, and treatments the platform restricts. We check copy against both platform policy and Indian law before submitting, and when an ad is still disapproved we rewrite it or appeal through the platform's process.

Can our ads run only when the front desk can answer calls?

Yes. We set ad schedules to your OPD and call-centre hours and turn call assets off outside them, while WhatsApp or form ads can keep running overnight if someone replies first thing next morning. An unanswered call is the most expensive click your hospital or clinic can pay for.

How soon will ads bring patients to our hospital or clinic in Kalamassery?

Calls and WhatsApp messages can start within days of launch, but whether they become appointments depends on your pricing, doctor availability and how quickly enquiries are answered. We judge campaigns on enquiries and, where you share booking data, on appointments, and we review after the first month before suggesting any increase in budget.
