Obstetrics and gynaecology clinics · WhatsApp marketing

She types the question on WhatsApp because nobody can overhear her.

WhatsApp is where a sensitive gynaecology question actually arrives, because it can be typed without being overheard. It is also where a clinic can do real harm with a careless broadcast or a notification preview on a shared phone. GullySales sets up the clinic number, the wording and the consent record.

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

Realistic editorial illustration of obstetrics and gynaecology clinics at work in India

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 obstetrics and gynaecology clinics

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

  • “The channel is chosen because it is private”

    A woman who will not ring a reception desk will type the question. The reply has to come from the clinic's own number, stay private, and offer an appointment rather than an answer.

  • “Assume somebody else can see her screen”

    A preview reading antenatal scan or fertility consultation on a shared family phone is a real harm. Keep the wording neutral and put the detail behind the appointment.

  • “A reminder and a broadcast are not the same thing”

    An appointment reminder to your own patient has her consent and a clinical reason. An offer sent to a list of pregnant women is advertising, and where that sits with your council's conduct rules is a question for your adviser.

What we do

What we deliver for obstetrics and gynaecology clinics.

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

  1. A clinic number that is nobody's personal phone

    One WhatsApp Business number for enquiries, shown on the website and the signage, with the conversation history staying behind when a receptionist leaves.

    Result: A sensitive message reaches the clinic, not a staff member's handset.

  2. Replies that offer an appointment, not a diagnosis

    Saved wording for the common symptom questions, acknowledging the concern and booking a consultation, with the line nobody may cross written down.

    Result: Nobody gives clinical advice in a chat window.

  3. Neutral wording on every outbound message

    Reminders and instructions written so a preview on a locked screen gives away nothing about her condition or her treatment.

    Result: A reminder cannot expose a patient to whoever is holding her phone.

  4. Preparation instructions sent before scans

    Fasting, a full bladder, what to bring and where to come, sent ahead of the appointment in plain words rather than explained at the desk.

    Result: Fewer scans are rescheduled over a missed instruction.

  5. Consent recorded before any message is sent

    Permission to message, the number to use and whether a message may be sent at all, taken at registration and kept with the record.

    Result: Your messaging list is one the patient agreed to.

  6. A written line between reminders and promotion

    What may be sent to a patient and what may not, drafted for your adviser to approve rather than decided by whoever is holding the phone that day.

    Result: The clinic's messaging stays inside what your doctors will defend.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

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

What must be in place first

What an OBG clinic puts in place before it sends a woman a single WhatsApp message.

Advertising rules for medical practice differ by state and body and change, so check with your own council before any promotion.

A clinic number held by the clinic
Register the business account on a SIM owned by the clinic and kept at reception, with a named person who reads it. Do not use the receptionist's or the doctor's personal phone for patient messages.
Consent recorded before the first outbound
Ask at registration, in her own words on the form, whether she agrees to appointment messages on this number. Note the date and the staff member. A woman who only enquired has not agreed to be messaged.
Neutral wording on every template
Reminders say 'your appointment with the clinic' and the date, with no mention of pregnancy, tests or conditions. Phones on a family plan, or shared at home, show message previews on the lock screen.
Which messages need approval
Anything you start yourself, such as a visit reminder or scan preparation note, needs an approved template. Replies inside an open chat do not. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing.
What is never answered in chat
Write the line staff use when a woman describes a symptom: offer an appointment or advise urgent care, and do not interpret reports or prescribe. A scan report sent for opinion is declined politely.
A way out and a person to call
Every list message offers a way to stop, and the profile gives the clinic's landline. A woman who blocks the number should be able to reach you by another route without explanation.

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 whatsapp marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

    • Educational content on a schedule
    • Google Business Profile built out
    • A working feedback loop

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

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we send offers on WhatsApp to women who enquired?
Treat that as advertising to patients rather than as a reminder, and it runs into the conduct rules on soliciting. Those rules differ between councils and change, so ask your own adviser. Appointment reminders to a consenting patient are a separate matter.
Our receptionist uses her own phone. Is that a problem?
Yes, on two counts. The clinic cannot see or keep the conversation, and a patient's health question is sitting on a personal handset. Move it to a business number the clinic controls and set out who may read it.
A patient sends her scan report on WhatsApp asking if everything is fine. What should the receptionist say?
Use a saved reply: the doctor reads reports only at consultation, and here is how to book or reach the clinic urgently. The receptionist must not interpret it. Keep the report out of staff phone galleries, and delete it from the chat once filed.
Can we use a WhatsApp group for expecting mothers in one batch?
Avoid it. A group shows every member's number and invites questions that need private answers. Offer antenatal class dates to each woman individually, or by a one-way broadcast list to those who agreed, so that nobody sees anyone else's details.
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?
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.
