Nephrology clinics · Healthcare

Reach the diabetic whose creatinine is creeping up, and stay for the years after.

A retired bank manager in Mysuru has had diabetes for nineteen years and a blood pressure tablet for twelve. A daughter home from Pune for Dasara reads the latest report and finds a creatinine that needs explaining.

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

Realistic editorial illustration of doctors and general clinics at work in India

In one paragraph

A nephrology clinic looks after people with kidney disease, from early protein in the urine to dialysis and transplant follow-up. Marketing puts the clinic in front of diabetics and people with high blood pressure before their kidneys fail. Sales turns one consultation into years of reviews and tests. GullySales builds the test explainers, referral pages and reminder lists.

The searches are 'kidney specialist Mysuru' and 'is creatinine 1.8 serious'. The pages that come up are either hospital brochures or a stranger's forum. The family wants one calm doctor. And a number to ring on Monday.

That is the start of a relationship that may last twenty years. Kidney disease is managed, not finished: a visit every few months, a blood test before each one, a diet explained to the whole household and, for some, the day dialysis becomes necessary. Most of the clinic's work happens in the follow-up, and a patient who stops after two visits leaves the doctor without the next set of results.

How buyers decide

How nephrology clinics are chosen.

Patients come through a physician, a diabetologist or a cardiologist who notices a rising creatinine or protein in the urine. The family then checks the nephrologist on Google, asks others who have a kidney patient at home, and may want a second opinion before agreeing to anything serious.

For dialysis, the choice is practical. How far is the unit from home, are the timings fixed, who is on duty when the pressure drops, what does a session cost, and does the state scheme or the insurer cover it. A patient who needs dialysis three times a week picks the centre that can be reached reliably.

Families facing transplant ask harder questions: who assesses the donor, which hospital does the surgery, what happens afterwards. These are decided on trust, in the nephrologist's own conversation, not by an advertisement.

The problem

What usually goes wrong for nephrology clinics.

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “Patients reach the nephrologist at stage four”

    A physician watched the creatinine for years. By the time the patient arrives the choices are narrow and the family is angry about the delay.

  • “Early-stage patients attend two reviews and stop”

    Without symptoms, a person with early kidney disease feels well and sees no reason to travel back for another blood test.

  • “Dialysis enquiries are about slots and cost, and the desk answers badly”

    A son rings to ask whether the father can have a morning slot and what it costs, and is passed between the front desk and billing.

  • “The family cook hears the diet sheet as no vegetables”

    A printed sheet says no potassium and no salt. The patient arrives weaker at the next visit.

  • “Physicians refer to the nearest big hospital”

    They do not know the clinic has a dietitian and a dialysis unit, or which kidney problems it takes.

  • “The website is a list of qualifications”

    A frightened daughter finds a doctor's degrees and a phone number, but nothing about what happens at the first visit.

What we do

What we do for nephrology clinics.

Everything included for nephrology clinics.

  1. A creatinine and kidney-test explainer in plain language

    A page, reviewed by your doctor, on what creatinine, eGFR and protein in the urine mean, when to see a kidney specialist, and what to bring to the first visit.

  2. A referral page for physicians, diabetologists and cardiologists

    When to refer, which test results to attach and how to reach the clinic, with a short update back after each referral.

  3. A register of each patient's next blood test and review

    Reminders go by WhatsApp or call to the person the family names, and only to those who agreed.

  4. A dialysis enquiry sheet

    How sessions are scheduled, how to reach the unit in an emergency, what the family should bring and what to ask the insurer or the state scheme office.

  5. A diet pack addressed to the family cook

    A short illustrated guide, in the family's language, prepared with your dietitian, on what to avoid and what stays on the plate.

  6. Two Maps listings: the clinic and the dialysis unit

    Each carries the doctor's name, timings and photographs, with a polite request for reviews to patients who are willing.

How the result is measured

  • New patients by referring doctor
  • Stage of kidney disease at the first visit, recorded by your doctor
  • Patients who kept their next scheduled review
  • Dialysis enquiries that became a visit to the centre
  • Calls and WhatsApp messages answered, and how fast
  • Reviews received and replied to

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Worth a page and a campaign of their own

Early chronic kidney disease in diabetics and hypertensives · Protein in the urine and swelling of the feet · Dialysis, haemodialysis and peritoneal · Kidney transplant evaluation and follow-up · Acute kidney injury follow-up after hospital discharge · Kidney stones with kidney function concerns · Renal diet counselling for the family · Second opinions on a rising creatinine

Priority campaigns

Campaigns for what nephrology clinics most want to sell.

Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

  • World Kidney Day screening camps

    Blood pressure, sugar and a urine protein check at a housing society or a bank, with a note on who should see a specialist.

  • Diabetics who have not had a kidney test this year

    A search page on diabetes and the kidneys, and a leaflet through diabetologists, asking people to bring their last report for a read.

  • Painkillers and the kidney

    A plain note on why long use of over-the-counter pain tablets for knee or back pain needs a doctor's eye, shared with orthopaedic and physiotherapy clinics.

  • Local search for the dialysis unit

    Maps and search listings with timings, the route from the main roads and the number to ring, written for the neighbourhoods where families live.

Beyond search

Where we reach buyers of nephrology clinics, beyond Google.

Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.

  • Diabetologists and physicians

    Early referrals begin at their desks. A tidy note on when to refer, and an update after the consultation, with the patient's consent.

  • Cardiologists and urologists

    Patients with heart disease, high pressure or stones also have kidney questions. A clear route to send a patient and receive a report shows both specialists who does what.

  • Pathology labs

    A creatinine report on the wrong side of the range can be handed over with a leaflet carrying your number, if the lab agrees to keep one at the desk. No payment or gift goes to the lab.

  • Orthopaedic and physiotherapy clinics

    Patients on long-term painkillers visit these clinics first. A note on kidney testing, passed on with consent, reaches them there.

  • Factory and office health centres

    Occupational health doctors run checks on staff. A short talk and a referral note give them a place to send those with abnormal results.

Who it is for

This is written for these nephrology clinics.

  • Single-nephrologist consulting clinics

  • Standalone dialysis centres run with a visiting nephrologist
  • Nephrology departments of multi-speciality hospitals
  • Transplant nephrology practices linked to a transplant hospital
  • Paediatric nephrology consultants

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.

  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 work runs for nephrology clinics

  1. 1

    Trace the path from referral to second review

    We look at where patients are referred from, how long they take to arrive, how many return for the second and third review, and how dialysis enquiries are handled.

  2. 2

    Settle the wording with your adviser

    Pages and ads are worded with you and your adviser, with a clear line on what is left out about transplant, donors or outcomes.

  3. 3

    Set up the reply and the record

    A clinic number, saved replies for the common questions, and a register that carries each patient from first visit to the next scheduled test.

  4. 4

    Write the explainers, profiles and diet pack

    Test explainers and condition pages for your doctor to review, two Maps profiles, and the guide for the family cook.

  5. 5

    Take the work to referrers and the neighbourhood

    Notes for diabetologists and orthopaedic desks, screening camps and local search for the dialysis unit.

Engagement options

Ways to work with us.

Pick the size of commitment that fits. Every option starts with your brief and a conversation.

    Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.

  3. Option 3

  4. 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.

FAQ

Questions nephrology clinics ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can a nephrology clinic advertise kidney treatment?
Rules on medical advertising differ by state and body and change, so show every page and ad to your own council or adviser before it goes live. Awareness content that explains a test or a condition is the place to start; leave out outcome claims, offers and comparisons.
Can we say anything about kidney transplant on the website?
Keep it to the evaluation process in general terms. Transplant has its own legal rules, which differ by state and change, so leave donors, matching and timelines out. Anything on the subject goes to your transplant hospital and your adviser before it is published.
How do we keep early-stage patients coming back?
Ask at the first visit how the family wants to be reminded and who should be told. Then remind them before each blood test, and call if a review is missed. A named person on your team owning that list matters more than any app.
Should the dialysis unit have its own page and profile?
Yes. Families searching for dialysis are looking for a slot, a route and an emergency number, which is a different question from which kidney doctor to see. A separate Maps profile and page for the unit answers it directly.
Can we share patient stories?
Rules on testimonials and patient stories for doctors differ by state and body and change, so check with your own council or adviser, and use none until they confirm. Many kidney patients prefer privacy, so do not ask at the bedside.
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?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Ads can follow soon after follow-up is in place. SEO and content take longer. How long each takes depends on your business, and we tell you which applies to you after we have spoken. 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?
To start, last month's enquiries in any format and time with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM.
