Eye hospitals · Healthcare
Get the family from the OPD to the right department without losing them on the way.
A man in his fifties goes to an eye hospital because his glasses no longer help. The refraction takes ten minutes. The optometrist notices something and suggests a glaucoma check. He says he will come another day. Whether that day arrives depends on whether anyone calls.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
An eye hospital has many departments and one front door, so the patient who walks in for glasses may need a retina specialist. Marketing builds the hospital's name with families, opticians and doctors. Sales is the route from the first visit to the department that treats the problem. GullySales handles that route and the referrers who feed it.
A hospital with cataract, retina, glaucoma, cornea and paediatric departments has a lot to offer and a poor way of showing it. Each department thinks of its own patients. Referrals from opticians and physicians depend on who last visited. Patients who need a second department fall through the gap between them.

How buyers decide
How eye hospitals are chosen.
Families choose an eye hospital for its doctors' names and its record on surgery. They ask neighbours and relatives, check reviews, and look at whether the hospital handles insurance and government schemes. The brand matters more than for a single clinic, because the bill is larger and the decision is shared.
Referrals feed the hospital. Opticians, general physicians, diabetologists and paediatricians send patients, and smaller eye clinics refer cases that need surgery or a specialist. A referrer wants a prompt appointment, a clear note back and no surprises for the patient.
Community camps are another channel. Screening camps in villages, colleges and offices produce names, and the hospital's capacity to follow them up decides whether those names come in. A camp without follow-up is a goodwill photograph.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for eye hospitals.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“A patient who needs a second department is never called”
The optometrist suggests a retina or glaucoma check. The patient says another day, and nobody follows up.
“Each department markets itself and the hospital as a whole is invisible”
Cataract talks to cataract patients, retina to retina. The hospital's range is never explained to a family.
“Opticians and physicians send patients and hear nothing back”
A referrer sends a patient and never learns what happened. The next patient goes where a note came back.
“Camp lists are filed and forgotten”
A camp screens hundreds. A few dozen are advised to come to the hospital, and almost none are called.
“Insurance and scheme questions are answered differently by each desk”
One desk says the scheme covers it and another says to check. Families lose confidence.
“Reviews describe the wait, not the doctors”
The queue at registration shapes the review. The surgery and the care are rarely mentioned.
What we do
What we do for eye hospitals.
Everything included for eye hospitals, and the result each part is there to produce.
A route between departments
A written routine that moves a patient from the first visit to the department that treats the problem, with a call or message to the patient who said another day.
Result: The patient who needed a second opinion in the building gets one.
A page for each department and condition
Cataract, retina, glaucoma, cornea and paediatric pages, written for families and linked to each other.
Result: A family sees the hospital's whole range, not one department.
A note-back routine for referrers
A short message to the optician, physician or eye clinic that referred a patient, saying what was found and what is next.
Result: The next referral goes to the hospital that wrote back.
A camp-to-hospital route
A list, a booking message and a follow-up call for every person advised at a camp to come in.
Result: A camp ends in appointments.
One answer on insurance and schemes
A written sheet for every desk, saying which insurers and schemes the hospital works with and what to bring.
Result: Every desk gives the same answer.
A report against the baseline
Enquiries by source and department, cross-department conversions, referrers active and camp follow-ups completed, against the baseline taken before work starts.
Result: You can see whether the marketing filled the departments or only the front desk.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by source and by department
- Patients moved to a second department
- Referrers active and how that changes
- Camp attendees who came to the hospital
- Reviews mentioning wait and registration
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Every service, written for eye hospitals
Each has its own page: what it involves for eye hospitals, what you get, and what it is measured on.
- SEORank for the cataract lens question, not only for your hospital's name.
- Local SEOA family with a red, painful eye drives to the eye hospital Maps shows first.
- Pay-per-click advertisingPay for the cataract and retina searches, and block the ones looking for eye drops.
- Reputation managementA review about waiting half a day after the drops is read before any surgeon's name.
- Review generationAsk the family member who brought the patient, once the eye patch comes off.
- Content marketingAnswer 'is my cataract ripe yet' before the family asks a neighbour.
- Referral marketingThe optician who spots a glaucoma suspect decides where the patient goes next.
- Follow-up systemsThe cataract patient who said 'after Sankranti' needs a call after Sankranti.
- WhatsApp marketingA photograph of a red eye after surgery must reach a doctor, not an auto-reply.
- Buyer journeyA cataract decision passes through the son and the insurer before a date is booked.
Worth a page and a campaign of their own

Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what eye hospitals most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
Eye check-up packages
Packages for senior citizens and adults, including a dilated retina and pressure check where indicated, built around the first visit.
Result: Check-ups become the front door to the right department.
Diabetic eye screening drive
A campaign to diabetologists and diabetic clubs on retina screening and where to send patients.
Result: Diabetic patients are screened early and referred in.
Cataract camp with a conversion route
A camp planned with a follow-up built in.
Result: The camp returns patients to the hospital.
Referrers' update
A short briefing for opticians and eye clinics on new services and how referrals are handled.
Result: Referrers know what the hospital now offers.

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.
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
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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.

A report on enquiries, cross-department conversions and referrers against the baseline taken before anything changed.

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