Hospitals · Digital marketing
Put search, Maps, WhatsApp and ads to work for the departments that need them.
Digital marketing for a hospital is search visibility, the Google Business Profile, WhatsApp for reports and appointments, and paid campaigns for specific departments. It should work as one system rather than separate efforts. GullySales runs all of it and reports which channel brought which admission.
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.
Last updated 5 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 hospitals
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Each department needs a different channel mix”
Emergency care depends on the Maps listing, IVF depends on content and reviews, and a new wing depends on search ads at first.
“WhatsApp is now part of clinical communication”
Appointment reminders and report delivery on WhatsApp reduce no-shows and free the front desk from repeat calls.
“One dashboard, not five logins”
The administrator sees enquiries from search, Maps, ads and referrals in one place instead of checking each platform separately.
What we do
What we deliver for hospitals.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A channel mix set per department
A different plan for each department, Maps for emergency care, content and reviews for IVF, search ads for a new wing.
Result: Each department gets the channel that actually reaches its patients.
WhatsApp for reports and appointments
A working setup for sending reports and appointment reminders on WhatsApp, reducing repeat calls to the front desk.
Result: Fewer calls tie up the desk asking about something already sent.
One enquiry dashboard
Enquiries from search, Maps, ads and referrals brought into one place instead of five separate logins.
Result: The administrator sees the full picture without checking each platform.
A channel and admission report
A report showing which channel brought which admission, reviewed against the departments running active campaigns.
Result: Spend and effort can shift towards what is actually bringing admissions.
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 to start for a hospital
Make every call and department findable before you pay to be seen.
- Google Business Profile for each branch
- Check the name, address, emergency and OPD hours, department list and phone numbers. Record the calls and direction requests that arrive.
- A page for each department
- Write the department's services, the doctors' own details, the OPD timings and how to book, within the rules of your council. Count the calls that mention a page.
- Call and referral log
- Record each call by department, source and result, including the night line. Review the log with the department heads.
- WhatsApp for appointments and reports
- Use a verified business number for bookings and report delivery, with patient consent. Keep clinical advice off the channel, and record the response time.
- Insurance and TPA information
- Put the empanelled insurers and the documents needed on a simple page. Note the questions the TPA desk gets each day.
- What to leave until later
- Broad paid campaigns and treatment videos. Advertising rules for hospitals differ by state and body and change, so check with your own council before you pay for reach.
Who it is for
This is written for these hospitals.
- Multi-speciality hospitals
- Single-speciality hospitals, maternity, orthopaedic or eye
- Nursing homes
- Day-care surgery centres
- Corporate hospital chains with several branches
- Diagnostic-centre-led hospitals
- Hospitals attached to medical colleges
- Government-empanelled private hospitals
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.

Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.
Chord Road Hospital

- What we did
- Website rebuilt around patient needs
- Search visibility
- Social media on a schedule
- Review management
- Result
- Organic traffic increased 60% within six months
- Online appointment bookings increased 40%
- Social following grew 45%, and engagement on it rose 70%
Nanda Arthritis and Rheumatology Center
- Situation
- There was no website, so a patient looking for a rheumatologist had no way to learn about the centre. Enquiries were few, and the ones that arrived came by word of mouth.
- What we did
- A website for patients
- Search work
- Google Business and reviews
- Lead capture and advertising
- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

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
