Pathology labs · Digital marketing
Make the lab findable and answerable first, and let the reels wait.
Digital marketing for a pathology lab means the few places where a patient or a clinic's reception actually looks for a lab: the Maps listing, the pages for your tests, WhatsApp, a small search campaign and the corporate inbox. GullySales puts them in order and records which one brought each sample.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
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 pathology labs
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Attention a lab cannot turn into samples”
A lab with a lively Instagram page and a Maps listing showing the wrong hours has bought attention it cannot collect on. The patient who looked it up arrives at a locked door.
“One small budget spread across everything”
A little goes on posts, a little on ads and a little on a blog, and none has enough behind it to be measured. A lab needs one job done properly before the next.
“Clinics and HR desks are missed”
A doctor's reception or an HR manager decides for many patients at once, and neither finds a lab through a social feed. A sheet, a rate card and a prompt reply matter more.
What we do
What we deliver for pathology labs.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A Business Profile that matches the counter
Hours, categories, tests, phone and photographs for each centre, corrected and checked against the signboard.
Result: The listing says what the door says.
Pages for the tests and packages people search
A page for each of the tests patients name and for your main packages, each with preparation and a way to book.
Result: A search for a test ends at your lab.
One WhatsApp number for bookings and reports
A business number with a person behind it, consent recorded and approved messages for the routine jobs.
Result: Bookings and report requests stop competing for the desk phone.
A search campaign for one test group
A small campaign for the group with spare capacity, such as home collection, counted by answered calls and collected samples.
Result: The spend is tied to a part of the lab that can take it.
An outreach list of clinics and companies
Practices and HR contacts nearby, a sheet and a rate card for each, and a log of every contact and reply.
Result: Steady work is chased by name, not left to chance.
A source field and a plain report
Every enquiry marked with where it came from and reported against the baseline taken before work started.
Result: You can see which channel brought samples.
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 this trade
The channels a pathology lab should set up, in the order to do them.
- Google Business Profile
- First job: correct hours, categories, tests and phone for each centre. Record the calls and direction requests it brings, and which home collection requests came through it.
- A page for each test and package
- Next job: pages for the handful of tests patients search by name, and your main packages. Record which page the call, chat or form came from.
- WhatsApp for bookings and reports
- Set up one business number with a person behind it and consent recorded. Count the bookings and report requests it takes, so the desk phone's load is visible.
- Search ads for one test group
- Choose the group with spare collection capacity, such as home collection. Count answered calls and collected samples, not clicks.
- Clinics and HR desks
- Prepare a sheet for reception desks and a rate card for HR. Log each contact and each reply, because this work is won by following up and not by posting.
- What to leave until later
- Reels, a mobile app, a long blog and festival posters. Come back to them once the profile, the pages and WhatsApp bring enquiries you can count.

This is written for these pathology labs.
- Neighbourhood labs beside clinics and nursing homes

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
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
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
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
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.

The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
