General hospitals · Social media

Show the town that the hospital is run by people it can recognise.

Social media marketing for a general hospital means posting what a neighbourhood wants to know: who the doctors are, what the hospital treats and when to come in. GullySales plans posts that your doctors have checked, with no outcome claims and no patient stories.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

Last updated 18 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For general hospitals

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The audience is the family, not the patient”

    A son or daughter scrolling a phone decides on behalf of a parent. Posts speaking to that family member, about visiting hours, scheme cards and which doctor sees what, answer their real questions.

  • “Health posts need a doctor's eye before they go out”

    A post on when to see a doctor for piles or diabetes is useful only if it is accurate and cautious. The treating doctor reads it first. A post that sounds like a promise or a diagnosis creates risk for the hospital.

  • “Patient photographs and stories are off limits”

    A grateful family may offer a photograph or a story. For a hospital, patient testimonials and identifiable images raise privacy and advertising-rule problems that differ by profession and state, so the page stays with facts, staff and services.

  • “A neglected page is worse than none”

    A page last posted to long ago, with an old phone number and timings, tells a family the hospital has stopped paying attention. A few accurate, current posts beat a crowded feed that nobody maintains.

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.

  1. A page set-up checked for accuracy

    Names, timings, emergency number, address and services set the same across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube where you use them.

    Result: Every public page shows the same details.

  2. A post plan in the local language

    Subjects drawn from what your doctors treat: fever care, delivery, surgery, diabetes follow-up and camps, written in the language of the town.

    Result: A plan the doctors can read and approve in one sitting.

  3. Staff and facility posts

    Introductions to doctors and departments, the ward, the laboratory and the casualty entrance, with consent from staff.

    Result: A family sees the place and people before arriving.

  4. A doctor approval step

    A simple routine by which a named doctor approves each health post before it goes live.

    Result: No health post goes out unchecked.

  5. A comment and message routine

    Who replies to comments and messages, what they say about timings, and when they hand a health question to a call or visit.

    Result: A question on the page reaches a person at the hospital.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 social media work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which platform matters for a general hospital?
The one your patients' families already use. In a typical town that means Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp. We look at where your families are before choosing, and we would rather keep two pages current than five abandoned ones.
Can we run a paid boost on a post?
Paid promotion is possible, but advertising rules for hospitals differ by profession and state, and each platform sets its own rules for health content. Check the platform's current rules and your council's guidance. Keep promoted posts to services, timings and camps.
Should the hospital post patient photographs?
No. Identifiable patient images and stories carry privacy and advertising-rule concerns. Post staff, the building, the equipment and general health information instead, and ask your own council or adviser if a case seems borderline.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
