Healthcare advertising on Google and Meta in Kollam

• 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 Kollam, the first check is how you appear for searches made around Chinnakada.
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 Kollam, 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. By day 90 you can see which searches around Kollam bring calls, and the budget follows them.

Kollam's public hospitals include the District Hospital and the Government Victoria Hospital for women and children in the town centre, the ESIC hospital at Asramam and the Government Medical College at Parippally towards the southern edge of the district. Private multispecialty hospitals and medical colleges line NH 66 at Kottiyam, Mevaram and Ayathil, while dental, eye and fertility clinics cluster around Chinnakada and Kadappakada. Many patients are cashew-factory workers, most of them women, and fishing families from Neendakara and Sakthikulangara, some of them covered by ESI. Relatives working in the Gulf often research and pay for a parent's treatment, so WhatsApp enquiries and Malayalam reviews carry real weight.

We run healthcare advertising on Google and Meta by specialty, because physiotherapy clinics and skin clinics in Kollam are searched for in different ways:

• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in KollamStudies of women cashew workers in Kollam district have found low back, hand and wrist, knee and neck pain to be common, with much of the work done seated for long hours. Physiotherapy that fits around factory shifts and explains costs plainly in Malayalam speaks directly to that need.
• Skin clinic marketing in KollamCashew shell oil is a known skin irritant, and research among women cashew workers in Kollam has recorded staining of the palms and fingers in those who roast and shell the nuts. Plain-Malayalam content on occupational hand care is relevant here in a way it is not in most towns.
• Orthopaedic hospital marketing in KollamMany working patients in Kollam put off back and joint problems until they start to affect their earnings, so an orthopaedic hospital does well to explain in plain Malayalam when to seek help and which non-surgical options it offers before surgery is discussed.
• Maternity hospital marketing in KollamThe government Victoria Hospital in the town centre is the district's public hospital for women and children, so a private maternity hospital in Kollam has to state clearly what it adds, such as room options, the newborn care available on site and the costs it is comfortable sharing.

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 Kollam, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 150 km, roughly three and a half to four hours by road. Trains from Kollam Junction to Ernakulam are often quicker than the drive up NH 66. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Chinnakada, Kadappakada and Asramam, 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 Kollam?

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.
