What exactly is included with each script?+
Each script is a complete filming kit, not a page of prose. You receive: the researched topic with the exact keyword and patient question it targets; three hook variants for the opening seconds, so you can film alternates and let the data pick winners; the full body script written in spoken rhythm — one clear idea per video, short sentences, transitions that sound natural out loud; a closing CTA matched to the video's intent (book a consultation, watch the related video, save for later); and delivery apparatus — pause marks, emphasis cues, pronunciation notes for any tricky terms, and a runtime estimate so you know it fits your target length before you film. Every script ships in two formats: full teleprompter text and a bullet-point outline for doctors who prefer guided improvisation. On the Growth plan we add title options, YouTube description drafts, tags and hashtag suggestions, plus a caption-draft version for short-form cuts. All of it arrives as one organised monthly batch alongside your topic calendar, so shoot days need zero preparation beyond pressing record.
How do you make scripts sound like me and not like a copywriter?+
Through a voice-profile process at onboarding, refined continuously afterwards. In the first call we do more listening than asking: how you explain a diagnosis to a patient, which analogies you reach for, whether you speak in short declaratives or flowing sentences, how much Hindi or Hinglish enters your natural speech, what you refuse to say. We also study any existing recordings — even voice notes work. From this we build a written voice profile: sentence length, vocabulary register, humour tolerance, signature phrases, and the analogies you actually use in your OPD. Every script is written against that profile, and your first batch deliberately includes an extra feedback round where you mark anything that feels 'not me' — those edits train the profile further. Most doctors tell us the third batch onwards reads like a sharper version of their own thinking rather than someone else's words. For multi-doctor hospitals, each clinician gets an individual profile, because a paediatrician's warmth and a cardiac surgeon's precision should never share a voice.
What is the turnaround time?+
Individual scripts are delivered within 72 working hours of topic approval, and full monthly batches — 8 or 20 scripts — arrive as a single organised drop within the first week of your content month, so your entire filming and publishing schedule is covered in advance. The monthly rhythm runs like this: around the 20th of each month we share next month's proposed topic calendar built from fresh keyword research and your service-line priorities; you approve or swap topics (most doctors spend under ten minutes on this); writing, compliance screening and formatting complete over the following days; and the batch lands with two revision rounds included. Urgent requests — a trending health topic in the news, a myth going viral in your specialty, a response to a competitor's claim — are handled through a 24-hour priority lane on all plans, because topical speed is sometimes the whole value of a video. Onboarding from signup to your first full batch takes about ten days, including the voice-profile call and calendar approval.
How does pricing and billing work?+
Flat monthly plans, no per-word or hourly billing. Starter is ₹8,000 per month plus GST for 8 scripts — the right volume for a doctor publishing two videos a week. Growth is ₹15,000 per month plus GST for 20 scripts, mixing long-form YouTube and short-form Reels/Shorts material, and adds title and description drafts, seasonal planning and a monthly performance review call. Custom plans serve hospitals and multi-doctor teams needing separate voice profiles, Hindi or regional-language scripts, and coordination with in-house legal or compliance teams. Billing is monthly in advance; there is no lock-in, though scripting compounds — the feedback loop that learns which hooks win for your audience needs about three months of published videos to show its full effect. Unused script credits roll forward one month. Two revision rounds per script are included with no extra charge, and you own every script outright, including the ones you never film. If you pair scripting with our editing services, we bundle pricing — ask for the combined quote.
How is this different from your other content and editing services?+
Scripting is the layer before the camera; our other services live after it. Our short-form and YouTube editing services take footage you have already recorded and turn it into published videos — but their ceiling is set by what was said on camera. A brilliant edit cannot rescue a weak opening line or an unfocused explanation; it can only make them prettier. Script writing fixes the input: what gets said, in what order, opening with which hook, closing with which CTA. It is also distinct from our SEO content service, which writes articles for reading — written-for-the-eye and written-for-the-mouth are genuinely different crafts, and scripts that read beautifully often sound robotic spoken aloud, which is why we write in spoken rhythm with delivery marks. The services are designed to stack: scripts feed your shoot day, our editors cut the footage, and the keyword research behind your scripts aligns with your SEO strategy so video and search reinforce each other. Doctors who take scripting plus editing effectively get a complete content department: they contribute only their face, voice and medical judgment — everything else is systemised.
How do you keep scripts compliant with NMC guidelines?+
Every script passes a documented compliance screen before delivery — it is a non-negotiable stage of our pipeline, not an optional add-on. The screen enforces: no cure guarantees or outcome promises ('90% success' becomes properly contextualised, attributed framing or is removed); no superlative self-claims like 'best doctor' or 'number one clinic' that NMC ethics regulations treat as solicitation; no fear-mongering constructions that pressure viewers toward treatment; honest framing of risks and alternatives where a procedure is discussed; clear educational-not-diagnostic positioning ('consult your doctor' rather than diagnosing the viewer); and DPDP-safe handling of any patient references — no identifiable case details without documented consent. For doctors practising abroad we adapt the screen to the local regime: DHA and SMC advertising standards for the UAE, MOH rules for Singapore, GMC and ASA expectations for the UK. We also keep a specialty-specific 'red phrase' list — words that repeatedly cause trouble in IVF success-rate content, hair-transplant guarantees and weight-loss claims — updated as regulatory interpretations evolve. You stay confidently on camera because the words were made safe before you ever saw them.
What are hook formulas, and do they really matter for medical content?+
The hook is the first one or two sentences, and on short-form platforms it determines more of your reach than anything else you do — two-thirds of viewers decide within three seconds. Hook formulas are tested opening structures adapted to medicine: the myth flip ('Everything you've heard about cracking your knuckles is wrong'), the silent-symptom warning ('This knee sound at 40 is the one I actually worry about'), the cost question ('Before you spend ₹2 lakh on IVF, ask your doctor these three things'), the contrarian credential ('I'm a dermatologist, and I'll never use this trending product'), and a dozen more in our specialty-adapted library. They matter because doctors instinctively open with context — name, qualifications, definitions — which is precisely backwards for retention; the hook earns the right to give context later. We deliver three hook variants per script so you can film alternates in seconds and let performance data decide. The compounding effect is real: our Jaipur dermatology client grew average views 6× purely from hook testing, and the win/loss data — myth flips beat questions 4:1 for her audience — now shapes her entire calendar.
How do you choose topics — and do I get a say?+
Topics come from data first, then pass through your judgment. Each month we run keyword research across Google and YouTube for your specialty: search volumes for patient questions, autocomplete mining ('knee replacement kya…', 'IVF failure reasons'), rising queries, seasonal patterns (dengue season, winter joint pain, board-exam stress), and a gap analysis of what competing doctors in your space have and have not covered well. We layer your business priorities on top — if you want more implant consultations or IVF cycles, the calendar weights those service lines — and add awareness-day tie-ins where they genuinely fit. The result is a proposed calendar with each topic annotated: target keyword, search intent, format recommendation (long-form versus Reel) and expected difficulty. You approve, veto or swap anything; you are the clinical authority, and occasionally a high-volume topic is one you'd rather not publicly own, which we respect without argument. Doctors typically spend under ten minutes a month on calendar approval. Over time the performance feedback loop biases the mix further toward what your specific audience proves it watches, saves and books from.
I practise outside India — do you write for international doctors, and how am I billed?+
Yes — scripts travel even better than editing, and a growing share of our scripting clients are in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, London and North America, many of them Indian-origin doctors serving diaspora and local audiences simultaneously. Three things change for international clients. First, compliance: the screen is run against your local regime — DHA and SMC advertising standards in the UAE, MOH in Singapore, GMC/ASA sensibilities in the UK — because claim language that is acceptable in one market invites complaints in another. Second, audience calibration: keyword research is run for your geography's search behaviour, and cultural framing shifts (insurance-driven questions for US audiences, NHS-wait-time context for the UK, medical-tourism framing for Gulf clinics attracting international patients). Third, language texture: we write English scripts with the code-switching your audience expects — Hinglish for diaspora content, Arabic-phrase inclusion where Gulf clients request it, and full Hindi or Arabic scripts available on Custom plans. Billing is in USD, AED or your local currency at plan-equivalent rates, invoiced monthly with card or transfer payment, and review calls are scheduled to your timezone.
Do scripted videos end up feeling stiff or robotic?+
Only when scripts are written for the page instead of the mouth — which is the failure we specifically engineer against. Stiffness comes from three sources: essay-style sentences too long to say in one breath, vocabulary the doctor would never use aloud, and reading an unfamiliar text cold on camera. Our countermeasures: scripts are written in spoken rhythm and read aloud by the writer before delivery (if it cannot be said naturally in one take, it is rewritten); your voice profile keeps vocabulary, analogies and code-switching authentically yours; and every script ships with a bullet-outline version, because many doctors deliver best from guided structure rather than word-for-word reading — the outline preserves the hook, the sequence and the compliance-safe phrasing while leaving delivery conversational. We also coach simple technique: read the hook until it is memorised and deliver it to the lens, then use the teleprompter for the body; viewers judge naturalness almost entirely on the first five seconds. The proof is in retention data — our scripted partner videos average 58% retention, dramatically above improvised medical content, and audiences comment on how clear the doctor is, never on the existence of a script.
