Surgical hospitals · Healthcare
Be the surgical hospital a family is sent to once the surgeon has said an operation is needed.
In Rajajinagar a scan shows gallstones, the pain keeps returning and the physician advises surgery without naming a hospital. The patient's daughter searches that night for laparoscopic gallbladder surgery and reads the first four pages.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A surgical hospital is a hospital built around operations, with theatres, anaesthesia, intensive recovery and a team of surgeons across general, laparoscopic, urological, plastic and other branches. Patients arrive on a surgeon's advice or a family's search. GullySales prepares the surgeon and procedure pages, the second-opinion and cost enquiry route and the referral material for physicians.
The questions on the daughter's mind: the surgeon's name, how long the stay is, what the package covers and whether anyone will pick up the phone on Sunday morning. A surgical hospital is chosen twice: once by the surgeon who decides where to operate and once by the family who decides whether to trust the surgeon. A family left guessing about cost, stay and who will actually operate goes looking for a second opinion elsewhere.

How buyers decide
How surgical hospitals are chosen.
Someone else sends the patient. A physician, a gastroenterologist or a gynaecologist recommends surgery, and the family either follows the surgeon to the hospital where that surgeon operates or asks who else does it well. Families then search the procedure, compare two or three hospitals on the surgeon's profile, the cost and the reviews, and ask someone in the family who has been through an operation.
On cost and insurance, families ask for an estimate, whether the insurer covers it cashless and what happens if the stay lengthens. A hospital that gives a range for a standard stay, says what changes it and names who speaks to the family each day answers all three before admission.
Your visiting surgeons choose the hospital as well. Each one weighs the theatre schedule, the anaesthetists, the ICU backup, the instruments and how the billing team treats the patients they bring. Rules on how a hospital may describe surgery and outcomes differ by state and body and change, so ask your own adviser to check the copy and never use success-rate claims.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for surgical hospitals.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Our surgeons are excellent and nobody outside knows their names”
The website has a department list and no surgeon pages, so a family searching for a gallbladder or hernia surgeon cannot find one of ours.
“Families ask for a cost estimate and we give it only on admission”
The enquiry reaches the desk, the desk says come and meet the doctor, and the family goes to a hospital that said a range.
“Physicians refer to the big names and forget us”
The family physician down the road does not know that we do laparoscopic and urological surgery, and nobody has told the physician.
“Second opinion seekers call and never book”
A family wants a second opinion on an operation advised elsewhere, and our desk treats the call like a normal appointment.
“Emergency surgery patients choose by distance and we are not on the map”
A patient with appendicitis or an obstructed hernia goes to the nearest hospital shown as open, and ours shows no emergency timings.
“Reviews mention billing and room charges more than surgery”
Patients are happy with the operation and angry about the final bill, and the review page is mostly about the latter.
What we do
What we do for surgical hospitals.
Everything included for surgical hospitals.
A page for each surgeon
Qualifications and registration details, the procedures the surgeon does, consultation days and a booking route, written with the surgeon and checked by your adviser.
A page for each common operation
Gallstones, hernia, appendix, piles, kidney stones, thyroid and others, covering what the operation is, the stay your surgeons quote, what to ask the surgeon and how cost and insurance work.
A cost range and insurance answer
A plain page and a phone script giving the range for a standard stay, what moves it and how cashless approval is requested, approved by your finance head.
A second-opinion path
A separate form and phone routine for patients who bring a scan or report and want another surgeon's view, with a named doctor and a date.
An emergency-ready listing
Google Business Profile with casualty hours, the emergency number, the on-call surgeon where you publish it and the entrance for ambulances.
A referring doctor card and visit routine
A one-page card with procedures, surgeons and the contact for urgent referrals, used for visits to physicians, gynaecologists and gastroenterologists in the catchment.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by procedure and by source
- Consultations booked from those enquiries
- Surgeries done after a consultation
- Referrals by doctor
- Second-opinion requests and what followed
- Reviews that mention cost, billing or the surgeon by name
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Every service, written for surgical hospitals
Each has its own page: what it involves for surgical hospitals, what you get, and what it is measured on.
- Lead generationBring in families who already know which operation the surgeon has advised.
- SEOLet a family searching for an operation find the surgeon and the page that explains it.
- Local SEOShow the family where you are, when casualty is open and which surgeon operates.
- Social media marketingUse social media to explain surgery and introduce surgeons, not to promise results.
- Content marketingWrite the pages that answer what a family asks after a surgeon says surgery is needed.
- Buyer personasWrite down who actually decides: the patient, the family, the physician or the surgeon.
- CRMKeep every enquiry, consultation and referring doctor in one record the desk can open.
- Follow-up systemsKeep in touch with the family that was advised surgery and has not yet decided.
- WhatsApp marketingAnswer a family's WhatsApp message the way the desk would answer a visitor.
- Digital marketingSpend on the few channels that reach a family choosing where an operation happens.
- WebsiteBuild a site where a family finds the surgeon, the operation, the cost range and a number.
Worth a page and a campaign of their own
Planned surgery enquiries by procedure · Surgeon profile pages · Cost range and package enquiries · Second-opinion consultations · Emergency surgery visibility · Referring physicians and specialists · Insurance and cashless approvals · Review and billing complaints
Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what surgical hospitals most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
Procedure search campaign
Google Ads on the operations you do most, aimed at your catchment and sent to the procedure page and the consultation form.
Surgeon introduction campaign
Short profile content and talks for each surgeon, with consent, shared on the Maps listing, the site and WhatsApp.
Insurance clarity campaign
Posts and pages around policy renewal time explaining cashless admission and the documents a family should carry.
Physician and gynaecologist outreach
A visit and call plan for the doctors who refer for surgery, with a note on theatre availability.
Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of surgical hospitals, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
Family physicians and diabetologists
They see the patients who need a hernia, gallbladder or foot procedure first and decide where to send them.
Gynaecologists and gastroenterologists
They advise on abdominal, pelvic and bariatric surgery and name a surgeon in the same consultation.
Insurance and TPA hospital lists
A family reads the insurer's hospital list, then rings the number on it. The name, address and phone there should match your Maps listing, or the call lands on the wrong desk.
Corporate health teams
An HR desk with a group policy gets staff asking where a hernia or gallstone operation can be done cashless. A sheet of the surgeries you do and the insurers on your list is something it can forward.
Search for procedure and place
Piles laser surgery near Yelahanka or a hernia surgeon in Vijayanagar: each search should land on a procedure page that names the surgeon and gives a booking number.

Not for

- 2
Look from the family's side
We search for your procedures and surgeons the way a family does and note what they see about cost, stay and insurance.
- 3
Fix enquiry handling
The desk script, the cost answer, the second-opinion route and the emergency listing, so the desk knows what to say to each kind of caller.
- 4
Write the surgeon and procedure pages
Drafts prepared with your surgeons and checked by your adviser before publishing.

Track and adjust
We compare consultations, surgeries booked and referrals with the starting record and rework the pages and scripts that are not doing their job.
Proof

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

- Search visibility
- Social media on a schedule
- Review management
- Result
- Organic traffic increased 60% within six months
