Telehealth and online consultation platforms · Social media
Post what a patient would send to her sister, not what an app would announce.
Social media marketing for a telehealth platform means using Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp channels to share short, doctor-reviewed explanations that people save and send on. The goal is a booking, not a follower. GullySales plans the posts with your doctors and keeps them within the rules on health advertising.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

Sales and marketing for telehealth and online consultation platforms, the overview.
Last updated 11 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 telehealth and online consultation platforms
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Platform rules on health content”
Social platforms restrict some health claims and targeting, so a post that works on one account may be limited on another.
“Doctors do not want to be on camera”
Many doctors hesitate to appear on video, and a feed of stock images with no face looks like an advertisement.
“Comments ask for diagnosis”
People write their symptoms under a post and ask what they have, and a careless reply can mislead or break the rules.
What we do
What we deliver for telehealth and online consultation platforms.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A platform choice for each speciality
A decision on where each speciality's audience is: Instagram for skin and mental health awareness, YouTube for long explanations, WhatsApp channels for reminders.
Result: Effort goes where the patient actually is.
Short explainer posts reviewed by a doctor
A set of posts and short videos on common concerns, each reviewed and approved by a named doctor before it goes out.
Result: Posts are useful and safe to publish.
A comment and message routine
A rule for replying to comments and DMs: no diagnosis, a polite pointer to book, and a private route for details.
Result: Comments lead to bookings, not to medical advice online.
A consent form for people on camera
A written consent for each doctor and staff member who appears, with a note of what may be used and for how long.
Result: Nobody appears in a post without agreeing.
A festival and awareness-day calendar
A list of days when topics suit the platform, such as awareness days for diabetes or mental health, planned with your doctors.
Result: Posts match what people are thinking about.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate
- Enquiries from social profiles
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Platform for this buyer
Pick the platform by who you want to reach, and post for one action.
- Instagram Reels for skin, hair and mental health awareness
- A doctor-reviewed explanation in under a minute with captions in the viewer's language. The one action is a booking link in the profile, not a diagnosis in the comments.
- YouTube for long explanations
- Longer videos on how an online consultation works or a condition's follow-up. Add chapters and a booking link. People search YouTube in their own language.
- WhatsApp channels and broadcasts for existing patients
- Send reminders and a short health note to patients who opted in. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and let people leave.
- Facebook groups and parent communities
- Join groups for parents or senior citizens only where the rules allow. Answer in general terms, avoid selling, and let the profile do the work.
- What not to post
- Do not post patient photographs, before-and-after images, results, medicine names or any claim that implies a cure. Check each platform's current rules.

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
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.
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.
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.

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.
