General hospitals · Digital marketing
Plan the hospital's digital work around the admissions it has room to take.
Digital marketing for a general hospital covers the listing, the site, search, advertising, WhatsApp and reviews, taken together and in the order that suits a hospital with its own town. GullySales sets the order, starting with the basics every family meets first.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For general hospitals
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Advertising comes after the basics, not before”
A paid advertisement that sends a family to a closed listing or an unanswered phone buys a complaint. The listing, the number and the reply routine come first, and spend follows only when those hold.
“Each channel serves a different moment”
Maps serves the family needing a hospital now. Search and the website serve those researching a surgery. WhatsApp serves those with questions. Reviews serve those still choosing. Treating them as one thing misses what each does.
“Capacity should steer the effort”
A hospital with free surgical beds gains from procedure promotion, while a full maternity ward does not. The plan is reviewed against which wards have room, and effort moves with it.
“The measurement is missing”
Admissions are counted but their source is not. Without a source record, the hospital cannot tell whether Maps, a camp, a doctor or an advertisement filled a bed, and spend becomes a guess.
What we do
What we deliver for general hospitals.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A plain plan in order of priority
A written plan that ranks the listing, phone routine, site, search, advertising and reviews for your hospital.
Result: A one-page plan the administrator can follow.
The basics put right first
Listing, emergency number, timings, scheme page and review replies corrected before any paid work.
Result: A family meets true information first.
Local search advertising where it suits
Ads for procedures with spare capacity, aimed at the area around the hospital, set to the hours you are open.
Result: Ads run only for services the hospital can take.
A source record for admissions
A registration question and a register, so each admission and OPD visit has a recorded source.
Result: The spend can be set against admissions.
A review of the plan with the administrator
A sit-down to compare the source record with the starting notes and choose what to continue, change or drop.
Result: The administrator decides the next step from data.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

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.

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.
