Social media marketing in Kottayam

• A monthly content calendar shared in advance and tied to the services patients nearby ask about most
• Seasonal content for Kerala's calendar, including monsoon fevers, Karkidakam, Onam, Christmas and Ramadan, and health days such as World Heart Day
• Coverage of camps, CME sessions, launches and community programmes
• Comment and message handling under a written protocol that never gives medical advice in public or confirms that someone was a patient
• 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 Kottayam, the first check is how you appear for searches made around Nagampadam.
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 Kottayam, and adjust the next calendar. By day 90 you can see which searches around Kottayam bring calls, and the budget follows them.

The Government Medical College is at Gandhinagar, about 8 km north of the town. Private hospitals such as Caritas and Matha at Thellakom on the Ettumanoor road and Bharath Hospital near the railway station, along with a dense network of specialist clinics, labs and ayurveda centres, make Kottayam a competitive healthcare market for its size. Kottayam's patients are highly literate, newspaper-reading and used to comparing doctors before they choose, and many rubber-growing and professional families have relatives in the Gulf, Europe and North America. They read reviews and doctor qualifications closely and expect detailed information in both Malayalam and English.

We run social media marketing by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and ayurveda hospitals in Kottayam are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in KottayamKottayam is one of the main railheads for Sabarimala, so in the Mandala season the town fills with pilgrims, many from other states, who search in English when they need emergency care. Accurate 24-hour status and English directions on your Google profile matter in those weeks.
• Ayurveda hospital marketing in KottayamResorts around Kumarakom on Vembanad Lake sell ayurveda packages to tourists, while Kottayam families tend to choose an ayurveda physician by reputation, so a centre should keep wellness marketing for visitors separate from treatment information for local patients, with no cure claims in either, which the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act restricts.
• Cardiology centre marketing in KottayamFamilies from Idukki and Pathanamthitta districts already come to Kottayam for referral care, so a cardiology centre here competes for a catchment far larger than the town, and should make its emergency contact and the procedures it does on site easy to find for someone driving down from the hills.
• Paediatric clinic marketing in KottayamWith the government Institute of Child Health at Gandhinagar, a private paediatric clinic in Kottayam is chosen for convenience and continuity: evening OP, vaccination reminders and a paediatrician families can reach.

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 Kottayam, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 75 km, roughly two hours by road. Frequent trains run from Kottayam to Ernakulam and are a practical alternative to the drive. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Nagampadam, Baker Junction and Kodimatha, 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 Kottayam 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 Kottayam 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)).
