Family medicine clinics · Healthcare
Be the doctor a whole household calls, not the one a single fever remembers.
A mother books a visit for the boy's cough on a Tuesday evening. By Saturday the grandfather's sugar report is on the same doctor's desk, and the mother's own thyroid review falls due next month. It was not planned. One visit where the doctor listened turned into a household.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A family medicine clinic is a practice where one doctor looks after every member of a household, from a toddler's vaccines to a grandparent's blood pressure. Marketing brings a new household to its first visit. Sales is the recall that keeps the household. GullySales fixes the listing and the booking routine, and sets up reminders patients have agreed to receive.
That is the commercial logic of family medicine. A household is worth far more than any single consultation, and it drifts away quietly when the front desk forgets the grandfather's review or the toddler's booster. The work is in the records and the recall, which no advertisement can do.

How buyers decide
How family medicine clinics are chosen.
A household new to the area asks before it searches. The question goes into the apartment WhatsApp group or across the pharmacy counter, and the name that comes back three times wins. Only then does someone open Google Maps to check the timings, the rating and whether the doctor speaks Kannada, Hindi or Tamil at home.
For a fever at night, timings and ratings matter less. The household calls the nearest clinic that is open, and if the phone is not answered it may go to a hospital casualty, whose doctor becomes the family's doctor for that night. A family doctor reachable on WhatsApp after clinic hours is the one the household remembers the next morning.
Adult children living in Pune or Dubai choose for their parents here. They want to see the doctor's registration, read what other families wrote, and book or pay without a phone call. They also want a short note on WhatsApp after the visit, because they cannot sit in the waiting room.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for family medicine clinics.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Families come once for a fever and never return”
The visit is noted as a single patient. Nobody connects the child to the mother, or the mother to the grandfather whose blood pressure has not been checked in a year.
“Our Maps listing shows the wrong evening timings”
A parent searching at seven in the evening sees the clinic as closed and calls the next one, though the doctor sits until nine.
“Vaccine and review dates live in the doctor's memory”
When the doctor is on leave or busy with a rush, the due booster and the quarterly diabetic check pass without a call.
“Referrals happen but nobody says thank you or asks for more”
New families arrive because a neighbour mentioned the doctor, and the clinic has no way to see who sent whom.
“A hospital's family health package reaches the household before we do”
The package arrives with a reminder. Our doctor knows the grandmother's tablets and the child's allergy, and sends nothing.
“Our website lists qualifications and nothing a worried parent can use”
There is no page saying which age groups are seen, what the clinic does on a Sunday, or how to reach the doctor after hours.
What we do
What we do for family medicine clinics.
Everything included for family medicine clinics.
A household record that links the family
A simple register, on paper or in the clinic's software, that ties each member to a household with one phone number and one WhatsApp contact for the family.
Google Business Profile with true timings
Morning and evening hours, Sunday and holiday cover, the languages spoken and photographs of the entrance and waiting area, with a routine for answering reviews that does not disclose any patient's visit.
Recall lists for vaccines and chronic care
Due-date lists built from your own register for child vaccines, adult boosters and diabetes or blood pressure reviews. Reminders go out only to patients who agreed to receive them.
A page for each age group and common concern
Plain pages on fever in children, sugar and blood pressure follow-up, elderly care and the annual household check-up, written for the families in your locality and reviewed by the doctor before publication.
Referral and thank-you routine
A way to record how each new household heard of the clinic, and a short message from the doctor's desk to the patient who referred them.
An after-hours message that sets expectations
A WhatsApp auto-reply stating clinic hours, what counts as an emergency and where to go for one, with a callback rule for the next working day.
How the result is measured
- New households registered and where they heard of the clinic
- Households returning for a second visit
- Vaccine and chronic review recalls sent against visits made
- Calls and WhatsApp messages answered, and whether after-hours messages got a reply
- Google Maps calls and direction requests
- Reviews received and replies posted
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Every service, written for family medicine clinics
Each has its own page: what it involves for family medicine clinics, what you get, and what it is measured on.
- Lead generationBring in whole households, not a string of one-off fevers.
- SEOShow up when a household searches for a doctor who treats every age.
- Local SEOMake the clinic the obvious answer when someone nearby searches for a doctor.

Worth a page and a campaign of their own
Same-day consultations for acute illness · Whole-family registration with linked records · Child and adult vaccination reminders · Diabetes and blood pressure follow-up lists · Elderly care and home visits · Annual health check-up for the household · Antenatal and postnatal first contact before referral · Minor procedures and dressings done in the clinic · Teleconsultation for existing patients between visits
Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what family medicine clinics most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
New residents welcome
A short note and a Maps-linked card for the apartment association, the new-tenant desk and the brokers who hand over keys, stating hours, languages and how to book.
Vaccine due-date reminders
A WhatsApp message to families with a child or senior due for a vaccine, using the register and only patients who agreed to messages, with a booking link.
Annual household check-up
A page and a message for the whole family to come in together, with the clinic's own check-up list agreed by the doctor and clear fees stated up front.
Elder care for out-of-town children
A page and a Google search campaign aimed at adults living elsewhere whose parents are in your area, with a form that asks for the parent's details and the best time for a call.
Neighbourhood pharmacy and lab link
A short introduction for the pharmacies and labs near you, with the clinic's hours and a number to reach the doctor.
Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of family medicine clinics, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
Apartment associations and residents' groups
A note and a talk outline on seasonal illness and vaccines for the association secretary, so the doctor is invited as a neighbour and not as an advertiser.
Pharmacies and diagnostic labs nearby
The pharmacist at the corner is asked which doctor to see, and the lab counter is asked the same after every blood test. A card with the clinic's timings and a callback number sits on both counters.
Schools and play schools
A health-talk offer for a school or crèche administrator, with a note on what the clinic can and cannot do inside a school.
Employers with small offices nearby
An introduction for the admin head of a nearby office who needs a doctor for a sick employee or a pre-employment check.
Adult children living away
A son in Pune or a daughter in Dubai searches for a doctor near a parent's flat. The doctor's registration, a clear photograph of the clinic and a WhatsApp number that sends a note after the visit are what that search needs to find.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the work runs for family medicine clinics
- 1
Read the register
We look at how households are recorded, how many return, what the Maps listing says, and how enquiries are answered after hours.
- 2
Link the households
One record per household, one WhatsApp contact, and a consent note for reminders, set up in whatever your clinic already uses.
- 3
Set up due lists for vaccines and reviews
Due lists for vaccines and chronic reviews, with a message the doctor has approved, sent only to those who agreed.
- 4
Fix how you are found
Maps listing, pages for common concerns, the after-hours message and the review routine.
- 5
Track the households
New households set against returning ones, referrals by source, and the recall list against visits made, so the register shows which changes did anything.

- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

Engagement options
Ways to work with us.
Pick the size of commitment that fits. Every option starts with your brief and a conversation.
Option 1
The conversation on its own
A call after you send your brief. It says honestly whether you need outside help, and many fixes are ones your own team can make.
Option 2
One fix, scoped
Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.
Option 3
An ongoing programme
We run the work, report against the baseline, and you renew on the numbers. The term and the reporting are agreed in writing first.
Option 4
Guidance for your own team or agency
We plan, brief and check the work of your in-house team or current agency, instead of replacing them.
