Healthcare advertising on Google and Meta in Palakkad

• Google Search campaigns built around treatment, specialty and 'near me' searches, with location targeting drawn around each branch and the towns that refer patients to you
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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 Sultanpet 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 Palakkad, 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 Palakkad with those from Ottapalam and Thrissur and widen the radius where it pays.

Palakkad has the Government Medical College at Yakkara, the District Hospital in town and a range of private hospitals, while the Ahalia campus at Kozhippara houses eye, ayurveda and other specialty hospitals. The district runs from the Kanjikode industrial area and the Chittur farm belt to Attappadi in the hills, and Coimbatore's large hospitals are only about 50 km away across Walayar. Palakkad families often weigh local hospitals against Coimbatore before planned procedures, and Tamil-speaking households, from the Kalpathy agraharams to the Chittur side, may search and talk in Tamil as well as Malayalam. Farming families and workers from Kanjikode usually go first to the nearest clinic they know and call before travelling.

We run healthcare advertising on Google and Meta by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and ayurveda hospitals in Palakkad are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in PalakkadBecause Coimbatore is within easy reach across the state border, a Palakkad hospital is weighed against its large private hospitals for planned surgery and has to make a factual case built on its consultants, its facilities and the ease of follow-up close to home.
• Ayurveda hospital marketing in PalakkadCoimbatore airport, which the district administration puts about 55 km from Palakkad, is the nearest airport, so ayurveda centres here can reach out-of-state and overseas visitors who fly in, provided their English pages explain treatment length, stay arrangements and transfers clearly.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in PalakkadFactories in the Kanjikode industrial area often need pre-employment and periodic health check-ups for their workers, and HR teams compare labs on turnaround, reporting format and whether testing can be done on site.
• Dialysis centre marketing in PalakkadPatients from Attappadi and the border villages can spend much of a day travelling for each session, so a Palakkad centre that offers early or late shifts and says how soon a new patient can get a regular slot is easier to choose.

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 Palakkad, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 140 km, roughly three to three and a half hours by road. Palakkad Junction at Olavakkode is on the main line from Ernakulam, so the train is a good alternative to the drive. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Stadium bus stand, Sultanpet and Olavakkode, 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 Palakkad?

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.
