Social media marketing in Ottapalam

• A monthly content calendar shared in advance and tied to the services patients nearby ask about most
• 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
• Coverage of camps, CME sessions, launches and community programmes
• Page clean-up so names, contact buttons, WhatsApp links and opening hours match on every platform
• 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 Ottapalam, the first check is how you appear for searches made around Kanniyampuram.
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 Ottapalam, and adjust the next calendar. We compare enquiries from Ottapalam with those from Palakkad and Perinthalmanna and widen the radius where it pays.

Ottapalam, on the banks of the Bharathapuzha, has a government Taluk Headquarters Hospital and private hospitals such as Valluvanad Hospital, with P K Das Institute of Medical Sciences a short drive away at Vaniyamkulam. It serves the old Valluvanad country between Shoranur, Cherpulassery and Pattambi, where patients also weigh hospitals in Thrissur, Palakkad and Perinthalmanna. Patients are largely farming and middle-class families from the surrounding panchayats, many households with Gulf earnings on the Pattambi side, and travellers through Shoranur Junction; older patients are often supported by children working in Kochi, Bengaluru or abroad who search and book on their behalf.

We run social media marketing by specialty, because physiotherapy clinics and diagnostic centres in Ottapalam are searched for in different ways:

• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in OttapalamPatients who have surgery in Thrissur, Palakkad or Perinthalmanna usually do their rehabilitation closer to home, so an Ottapalam physiotherapy clinic is often found by a family looking for sessions near the house after discharge, or for home visits.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in OttapalamTests ordered by a consultant in a bigger town are often repeated or followed up nearer home, so a diagnostic centre in Ottapalam benefits from making clear which tests it does in-house, when reports are ready and whether it collects samples at home.
• Maternity hospital marketing in OttapalamExpectant mothers around Ottapalam often weigh delivering in town against a drive of 30 km or more to a bigger centre, and a night-time journey is a real worry, so labour-room facilities, newborn care and the obstetricians' OP days need to be clear.
• Dialysis centre marketing in OttapalamFamilies around Ottapalam often weigh a dialysis slot in town against travelling 30 km or more to Palakkad, Perinthalmanna or Thrissur two or three times a week, so a local centre's shift timings and waiting-list process are what they need to see first.

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 Ottapalam, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 115 km, roughly three hours by road. Ottapalam has its own station on the line from Shoranur Junction to Palakkad, so the train from Ernakulam is often the easier way to make the trip. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Kanniyampuram, Ottapalam railway station and Vaniyamkulam, 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 Ottapalam 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 Ottapalam 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)).
