Dermatology clinics · Digital marketing

Win the search for a treatment name and the WhatsApp photo that follows it.

Digital marketing for a dermatologist covers the path from a search for acne scar treatment, through the WhatsApp photo, to a booked consultation. GullySales writes the treatment pages, corrects the Maps listing and gives the front desk the wording to answer a photo with.

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 dermatology clinics

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

  • “Search brings the patient, WhatsApp closes the enquiry”

    A patient rarely fills a contact form for a skin concern. They search, find the clinic, and send a photo on WhatsApp, so the reply on that channel matters as much as the ranking that got them there.

  • “Medical and cosmetic treatments need separate campaigns”

    A patient searching for eczema treatment is in discomfort and wants reassurance quickly. One searching for anti-ageing treatment is comparing options and price, and running both under one generic campaign serves neither well.

  • “Reviews feed every other channel”

    A review naming a specific treatment, such as a patient satisfied with their pigmentation treatment, strengthens the Maps ranking and the treatment page. It also builds the trust behind the next photo enquiry.

What we do

What we deliver for dermatology clinics.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Connected plan across search, profile and WhatsApp

    A single plan linking search visibility, the Google Business Profile and WhatsApp reply templates, instead of running each separately.

    Result: A patient moves from search to a reply without the trail breaking.

  2. Separate campaigns for medical and cosmetic treatments

    Distinct content and advertising plans for medical concerns such as eczema and cosmetic ones such as anti-ageing treatment.

    Result: Each patient is met with a message written for their actual concern.

  3. Review collection tied into search and content

    A routine for asking patients to name their specific treatment in a review, feeding the same review into the profile and treatment pages.

    Result: One review strengthens ranking, trust and the page at once.

  4. WhatsApp reply templates for treatment enquiries

    Ready wording for the first reply to a photo or treatment question, matched to what the patient searched or clicked to arrive.

    Result: A patient gets an answer that reflects what actually brought them in.

  5. Combined report across search, profile and WhatsApp

    One report on enquiries by source and reply time, measured against the baseline set before work started.

    Result: The clinic sees the whole path in one place instead of separate numbers.

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.

Where a clinic starts

A dermatology clinic starts with the concerns patients search for and a reply to their photo.

Business Profile
Correct the doctors' names, the concerns treated, hours and the booking link. Count calls and requests for directions.
A page per concern
Write acne scars, hair fall or pigmentation separately, with who it suits and what the consultation covers. No cure claims.
WhatsApp photo reply
Set a reply that asks for consent to share the photo, explains that a consultation is needed and offers a slot.
Medical and cosmetic kept apart
Keep medical skin conditions and cosmetic treatments on separate pages and messages. Log which kind each enquiry is.
Review request
Ask in person after a visit and send the link later. Never offer anything for a review.
What to leave until later
Leave before and after photos, influencers and discount ads until your council's rules are checked and the reply routine works.

Who it is for

This is written for these dermatology clinics.

  • Solo dermatologist clinics
  • Multi-doctor dermatology and cosmetology centres
  • Dermatology hospitals with in-patient procedures
  • Cosmetic and aesthetic dermatology clinics
  • Hair transplant and trichology centres
  • Skin and laser clinics inside malls or commercial complexes
  • Paediatric and family dermatology practices
  • Multi-branch dermatology chains

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The clinic cannot reply to a photo on WhatsApp within the working day, so more search visitors would simply wait
  • Medical and cosmetic work are still described in one block, and a patient cannot tell which doctor handles which concern
  • You have no record of which enquiry led to a consultation, so any spend would be judged on clicks alone

How it works

How the digital marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Agree the one aim

    We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.

  2. 2

    Check what is ready

    We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.

  3. 3

    Write the idea and the message sheet

    We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.

  4. 4

    Brief every channel from the same sheet

    Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.

  5. 5

    Run on the shared calendar

    Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.

  6. 6

    Measure as one campaign

    Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Where should a dermatology clinic start?
With the Google Business Profile and a fast, structured WhatsApp reply process, since most enquiries already arrive through search and photo messages rather than a website form.
How do medical and cosmetic patients differ in this?
Medical patients search out of concern and want a quick, clear answer. Cosmetic patients compare price and results across clinics, so the content and the ads need to speak to each differently.
Is it all right to accept a skin photo on WhatsApp?
Treat it as sensitive medical information. Ask for consent, keep it on a phone or system only the clinic staff use, and say a diagnosis needs a consultation. Check current data protection and telemedicine guidance for your profession.
How should we compare ourselves with a clinic that charges less?
Do not compare prices in public. Describe the doctor's qualifications, the assessment and the follow-up you provide. Patients choosing on price alone are not a loss to chase. Record why patients who did not book say they went elsewhere.
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.
