Social media marketing in Kannur

• A monthly content calendar shared in advance and tied to the services patients nearby ask about most
• Static posts and carousels in Malayalam and English, designed in your brand style
• Doctor-led reels and short videos, filmed in batches on planned shoot days, showing each doctor's name, qualifications, registration status and registration number (for medical doctors, the SMR/NMR number the NMC's October 2026 guidelines expect)
• Seasonal content for Kerala's calendar, including monsoon fevers, Karkidakam, Onam, Christmas and Ramadan, and health days such as World Heart Day
• Selective boosting of educational and hospital posts that already perform well, never posts that promote an individual doctor (NMC guidelines, clause 8.3(ii)), run from your own ad account with spend paid directly to Meta
• A monthly report on messages, calls, saves, shares and reel watch time, with recommendations for the next calendar

1. 1
   Kick-off. We agree the tone of voice, the services to focus on, which doctors will appear and the topics that are off-limits. In Kannur, the benchmark is the three nearest hospitals and clinics on Google Maps.
2. 2
   Calendar. Each month we share the next month's calendar with draft captions and designs, for approval by your nominated doctor or manager.
3. 3
   Shoot and publish. We film several reels in one visit to keep disruption to OPD low, publish on schedule and route medical questions from comments to your team.
4. 4
   Review. We look at which topics brought messages, saves and profile visits from people in and around Kannur, and adjust the next calendar. We compare enquiries from Kannur with those from Thalassery and Vadakara and widen the radius where it pays.

Kannur has Government Medical College Kannur at Pariyaram, about 25 km north of the city, the District Hospital in town and private hospitals such as Aster MIMS at Chala, along with clinics, labs and dental practices around Thavakkara and Fort Road. The Malabar Cancer Centre is at Thalassery, and the city takes patients from across the district up to the Karnataka border in the eastern hills. Many Kannur families have Gulf connections, and the city also serves patients from the hilly east of the district around Iritty and Taliparamba who often come in by bus; people search in Malayalam and English and trust doctors they hear about through family and community networks.

We run social media marketing by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and fertility and IVF clinics in Kannur are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KannurKannur's private hospitals compete with the Government Medical College at Pariyaram and, for planned surgery, with Kozhikode and, for some families in the north of the district, Mangaluru, so each department needs its own page with its consultants and facilities.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KannurKannur International Airport at Mattannur has direct flights to several Gulf cities, so Gulf-based couples from the district can fly in close to home for consultations and treatment cycles, and a fertility clinic that plans around short leave and explains timelines clearly is easier to choose.
• Cancer centre marketing in KannurFamilies in Kannur often weigh treatment close to home against months of travel for chemotherapy or radiotherapy, so a cancer service in Kannur city should state plainly which treatments, screening and follow-up it offers on site, factually and without any suggestion of cure.
• Dialysis centre marketing in KannurPatients from hill towns such as Iritty and Alakode face long bus journeys for every session, so a Kannur centre that publishes its early-morning or evening shifts and explains how to join its list is easier for families to plan around.

A consistent page with a working calendar is usually running within the first month. Growth in local followers and enquiries from social media usually builds over three to six months of steady posting, and depends heavily on how often your doctors appear on camera. Social media marketing is usually a monthly retainer scoped by the number of posts and reels per month, shoot days, platforms and languages. Community management hours and any boosting are written into the scope, with boost spend paid by you directly to Meta. Longer video pieces can be added as separate projects.

From Kannur, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 270 km, six to seven hours by road. The train from Ernakulam takes about six hours and is usually easier than the drive. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Thavakkara, Caltex junction and Thana, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• Social media marketing: how we work

Who approves our posts before they go live?

A doctor or manager you nominate approves the monthly calendar and every post with medical content. We separately check each post for compliance problems such as cure claims, unverifiable 'best' claims, patient testimonials or before-and-after images, which the NMC's October 2026 advertising guidelines restrict. Nothing that speaks for your hospital or clinic is published without that approval.

What happens to our pages and content if we stop working with you?

Your Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts stay in your organisation's name, with Adserr added as a partner or manager rather than an owner. Designs and videos made for you are handed over, and we remove our access when the engagement ends.

Should our hospital or clinic in Kannur pay to boost posts?

Only selectively. Boosting a post that is already doing well, such as a camp announcement or a useful health explainer, to people within easy reach of Kannur can be good value, while boosting festival greetings rarely is. A boosted post is an ad, so platform health policies and Indian advertising rules apply in full, and posts that promote an individual doctor should never be boosted (NMC guidelines, clause 8.3(ii)).
