About Scale Healthcare Gold

The questions we get on every discovery call — answered upfront.

We are a global healthcare digital marketing agency. We help clinics, hospitals, telehealth companies and healthcare startups grow with performance marketing (Meta, Google, TikTok), SEO, websites, medical software and patient retention systems — all measured against booked consultations and patient revenue, not vanity metrics.

We work with healthcare brands across the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Singapore and across the EU. Our team understands the regulatory, compliance and cultural nuances of each market.

No. We support everyone from single-location specialty clinics doing 6-figure revenue to multi-location hospital groups and venture-backed health-tech companies. Our pricing tiers — Basic, Platinum and Gold — are built so the right level of support exists at every stage.

After your free audit and a strategy call, most engagements kick off within 7–14 days. Paid ad accounts can be live in two weeks; SEO and web builds typically begin within the same window with first deliverables in 3–4 weeks.

Against the metrics that pay your team — qualified leads, booked consultations, show rate, patient acquisition cost and revenue per channel. You get a transparent dashboard plus a monthly strategy review with your dedicated team.

Yes. Every funnel, form, CRM integration and ad pixel we deploy follows HIPAA, GDPR and local healthcare data-protection laws. Compliance is built into the build, not bolted on afterwards.

Always. Patient data, treatment results, internal financials and strategic plans are protected by NDA from the first discovery call onward.

Basic covers essential delivery for a single service line. Platinum is our most popular tier — multi-channel execution with full creative and SEO support. Gold is a fully managed growth partnership with senior strategists, custom software and priority support. See our Pricing page for service-by-service detail.
 
By Service

Service-Specific Questions

Detailed FAQs for each of our eight healthcare marketing services.

Compliant Meta ad systems that lower cost-per-lead and book more patients.

Yes. Meta allows healthcare advertising but enforces strict policies around health-condition targeting, personal attributes, and claims. Our campaigns are built compliance-first, so your ads pass review and your account stays in good standing.
Most single-location clinics see meaningful results from $2,000–$5,000/month in ad spend; multi-location groups and telehealth brands typically invest $10,000+. We size budgets from your patient lifetime value, not arbitrary numbers.
Lead flow typically starts within the first week of launch. Cost per lead stabilizes over the first 30–60 days as creative testing and algorithm learning complete.
We handle strategy, copywriting, design, and video editing in-house. We only need raw inputs from you — clinic footage, clinician photos, and treatment details.
Absolutely. We routinely route creative through client compliance reviews and maintain claim-substantiation documentation for every campaign.
02

Google PPC

Capture patients at the exact moment they search
Healthcare CPCs typically range from $3 to $40+ depending on specialty and city. What matters is cost per booked appointment — our keyword and landing-page systems are built to drive that number down month over month.
PPC delivers patients within days; SEO compounds over months. Most clients run both: PPC funds growth now while SEO builds a durable organic moat. We'll show you the right split for your market in a free audit.
Yes. We navigate Google's healthcare policies — including restricted categories and certification requirements — and structure campaigns so they remain compliant and approved.
Yes. Every campaign includes dedicated, conversion-optimized landing pages designed, written, and tested by our team — no extra web vendor needed.

03

TikTok Ads

Where modern patients discover modern providers
Yes — health education is one of TikTok's largest content categories. Clinics that teach rather than advertise routinely see lower acquisition costs than on legacy channels, plus compounding branded-search growth.
Clinician-led content performs best, but it's not mandatory. We also run creator partnerships, UGC-style testimonials, and animated explainer formats.
TikTok has specific healthcare ad policies, and every script and claim we produce is screened against them — plus your local advertising regulations — before launch.
Effective TikTok programs start around $1,500–$3,000/month in ad spend plus creative production. We'll recommend a budget based on your market and goals in a free strategy call.
We track cost per lead, cost per booked consultation, branded search lift, and profile-to-booking conversion — views are a means, never the metric.
04

Healthcare SEO

Own the rankings patients trust most
Local SEO improvements often land within 60–90 days; competitive treatment keywords typically take 6–12 months. Our clients average 287% organic traffic growth within the first 12 months.
Google holds health content to its highest standard — E-E-A-T under 'Your Money or Your Life' guidelines. Rankings require demonstrable clinical expertise, physician review, and authority signals generic agencies can't produce.
Yes. Our healthcare writers draft every piece, and content is structured for physician review so accuracy and credibility are built in.
Yes — multi-location local SEO is a core specialty: dedicated location pages, individual Google Business Profiles, and review systems for every office.
Sometimes — but a slow, dated site caps your ceiling. If a rebuild is needed, our web development team handles it with SEO-ready structure from day one.
05

Medical Software

The technology layer that converts marketing into revenue
It depends on your size, specialty, and existing practice-management software. We're platform-agnostic: we select, configure, and customize the system that fits your workflows — not the one paying referral commissions.
In most cases yes — via native integrations or middleware. We map your current stack during the workflow audit before recommending anything.
Our automation deployments average a 41% reduction in no-shows through SMS reminders, confirmations, easy rescheduling, and waitlist backfills.
Every tool is selected and configured with data-privacy obligations front of mind, including access controls, consent capture, and data-processing agreements.
No — we implement technology stacks standalone. But the biggest gains come when CRM data feeds your ad platforms, which is where our integrated model shines.
06

Website Development

Your most important clinical asset isn’t in the building
Healthcare websites range widely based on size and integrations — from focused clinic sites to multi-location hospital platforms. After a free audit we'll scope exactly what your goals require, with transparent fixed pricing.
Most clinic websites launch in 4–8 weeks; larger multi-location or hospital builds run 8–16 weeks. Speed never comes at the cost of conversion testing.
No — we run full URL mapping, 301 redirects, and pre-launch technical SEO checks so existing rankings carry over, then improve from the stronger foundation.
Yes. We integrate scheduling tools, patient portals, and practice-management systems so patients can book directly from treatment pages.
Yes — ongoing care plans cover updates, security, performance monitoring, and continuous conversion optimization.
07

Social Media

Daily authority-building for healthcare brands

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Instagram and Facebook are the core for most clinics; TikTok and YouTube Shorts for younger demographics; LinkedIn for B2B health-tech. We recommend the right mix in your strategy session.
Yes — community management is included, with escalation protocols so clinical questions and complaints route to your team appropriately.
Every educational post is fact-checked and structured for clinician sign-off before publishing, keeping your content accurate and compliant.
We track profile actions, website clicks, inquiry volume, and branded search growth — metrics tied to patients, not just likes.
08

Email & SMS Marketing

Reactivate patients, reduce no-shows, fill the calendar

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Klaviyo and ActiveCampaign are our defaults for most clinics due to strong automation and integrations. For larger health systems we also work with HubSpot and Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
Most reactivation flows produce booked appointments within 14–30 days of launch. The compounding revenue from recall and cross-sell automations grows over 3–6 months.
Yes — copywriting, design, segmentation, and automation logic are all handled by our team. You approve before anything sends.
We integrate with most major PMS, EHR, and booking platforms (Dentrix, OpenDental, NexHealth, Cliniko, Zocdoc and more) via native connectors, Zapier, or API.
