Healthcare advertising on Google and Meta in Malappuram

• 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
• Facebook and Instagram campaigns for planned procedures, factual health checkup package details and plain screening-camp announcements, with click-to-WhatsApp ads where patients prefer to start in chat and no discount, limited-period or fear-based wording
• One landing page per campaign showing the treatment, the doctors, the location and visible call and WhatsApp buttons
• 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
• A monthly report of spend, enquiries and cost per enquiry by department, branch and platform

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. We look at what a patient near Down Hill sees when they search your specialty today.
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 Malappuram, 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 Malappuram with those from Manjeri and Kottakkal and widen the radius where it pays.

Malappuram town is the headquarters of what was Kerala's most populous district at the 2011 Census, with government and mid-sized private hospitals, clinics and labs around Kottappadi and Down Hill. The Government Medical College is in Manjeri, and Perinthalmanna and Kottakkal also have private hospitals, each within about 25 km, so the town's providers compete with all three. Many families have members working in Saudi Arabia, the UAE or elsewhere in the Gulf, and decisions about a parent's surgery or a delivery are often talked through on WhatsApp with them. Patients search in Malayalam or Manglish, and many women look specifically for a lady doctor.

We run healthcare advertising on Google and Meta by specialty, because fertility and IVF clinics and orthopaedic hospitals in Malappuram are searched for in different ways:

• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in MalappuramWith many husbands working in the Gulf, couples in Malappuram often plan fertility treatment around a short leave, so a clinic that sets out timelines, what can be done before the husband arrives and how to consult by video is easier to choose.
• Orthopaedic hospital marketing in MalappuramFootball is played and followed intensely across Malappuram, from local sevens tournaments to league matches, so knee and ankle injuries among young players are a regular reason people look for an orthopaedic surgeon here.
• Maternity hospital marketing in MalappuramExpectant mothers in Malappuram often weigh a nearby hospital against a bigger one in Manjeri or Perinthalmanna, and the decision is usually made with family, so labour-room facilities, newborn care arrangements and the obstetricians' OP days need to be clear in Malayalam and easy to forward on WhatsApp.
• Cancer centre marketing in MalappuramMalappuram is where Kerala's volunteer-led neighbourhood palliative care networks first took root in the late 1990s, so many families know home-based palliative support, and a cancer service is expected to work alongside local palliative groups and speak about treatment gently and without promises.

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 Malappuram, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 160 km, roughly four hours by road. Malappuram has no railway station of its own; Tirur, on the main line, is about 25 km away. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Kottappadi, Down Hill and Up Hill, 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 Malappuram?

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.
