Question 1

Do you work with doctors and clinics in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with doctors, clinics and hospitals across the UK — including London, Manchester, Birmingham — and with practices serving London draws nationally and internationally, particularly Gulf and European patients into the Harley Street area. Regional clinics work realistic drive-time catchments, and self-pay orthopaedic and diagnostic patients routinely travel one to two hours for an earlier date. Healthcare is the only sector we work in, so the playbook is built for regulated medical marketing rather than adapted from retail or hospitality. Work runs remotely, with onboarding, strategy and reporting calls scheduled in your timezone, and day-to-day contact over email and WhatsApp so you are never waiting on a time-zone gap to get an answer.

Question 2

Is healthcare advertising regulated in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and this is where most general marketing agencies get clinics into trouble. the UK is governed by CQC · GMC / GDC · ASA and the CAP codes · MHRA. Most private clinical providers in England must be registered with the CQC, and the resulting rating is public and routinely checked by patients before they enquire. Doctors are additionally bound by GMC Good Medical Practice, which requires advertising to be factual and not misleading, and dentists by equivalent GDC guidance. The binding day-to-day constraint is the CAP codes, enforced by the ASA: prescription-only medicines may not be advertised to the public, so botulinum toxin cannot be named or promoted on public-facing pages, in ads or in social posts. Before-and-after imagery for cosmetic procedures is restricted, and every efficacy claim must be substantiated before it is published, not after it is challenged. We write aesthetics campaigns that never name a prescription-only medicine, hold substantiation for every claim we publish, and treat your CQC rating as a conversion asset rather than a footnote. We would rather tell you upfront that a tactic you have seen a competitor use is not one we will replicate than expose your licence to risk for a short-term gain.

Question 3

How much does healthcare marketing cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

For clients in the UK we quote in GBP. Google Business Profile management starts around GBP 50 per month, SEO content publishing around GBP 70 per month, and full-service retainers from about GBP 210 per month depending on how many channels you run and how competitive your specialty is. International pricing reflects the additional cost of servicing an account across timezones, currencies and a different regulatory regime, and the figures above are converted from our India list at an indicative rate — your quote is confirmed in GBP in writing after the audit. Paid media sits outside that fee: in the UK treatment-intent clicks typically run £3–15. Cheaper per click than the US or the Gulf, but the compliance ceiling is far lower — the ads that win elsewhere simply cannot run here, so differentiation comes from what you are permitted to publish.

Question 4

How quickly will we see results in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Most clinics see movement in profile views, calls and direction requests within 30 days, because the earliest wins come from fixing the Google Business Profile — categories, services, photographs, posts and review flow — rather than anything requiring Google to re-evaluate your website. Meaningful map and organic movement usually lands between 60 and 90 days. Competition in the UK is high, so we prioritise narrower, winnable searches first — specific treatments and specific districts — so there is traction while the harder head terms build over two to three quarters. Anyone promising you page one in a fortnight is selling something.

Question 5

Which specialties do you work with in the UK?

Accepted Answer

All regulated healthcare. In the UK the strongest demand we see is in Aesthetics & dermatology, Private dentistry & implants, Private orthopaedics, and we run specialty-specific playbooks for each — the searches, objections and decision timelines for a fertility patient look nothing like those for a dental or orthopaedic patient. Beyond those we work with multi-specialty hospitals, diagnostic centres, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, ophthalmology, paediatrics and mental health practices. If your specialty is not listed it almost certainly still fits; the framework is the same and the keyword, content and compliance strategy is what changes.

Question 6

Do we need to hand over passwords to our Google or advertising accounts?

Accepted Answer

No, and you should refuse this from any agency that asks. We work through manager-level access: your Google Business Profile stays owned by you with us added as a manager, and your Google Ads and Meta accounts are linked to our manager accounts rather than transferred. You keep full ownership of every asset, every review, every historical data point and every campaign we build. If we part ways, you remove our access and everything remains yours — which is the opposite of the position clinics find themselves in when an agency has built the assets inside its own accounts.

Question 7

How do we market aesthetics legally when Botox cannot be named?

Accepted Answer

Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine, and UK law prohibits advertising prescription-only medicines to the public. The ASA applies that strictly. Brand names and generic descriptions alike cannot appear in your ads, on your treatment pages, in social posts, in blog titles, in page metadata or in image alt text — and bidding on the term as a keyword is a separate risk from publishing it as copy. Clinics routinely assume a disclaimer solves it. It does not, and rulings are published with the clinic named, which becomes a permanent search result against your brand. What you can do is market the consultation rather than the medicine. You may offer consultations for facial lines and wrinkles, describe an anti-wrinkle injection service in non-branded terms, and discuss specific products once a patient is in a genuine one-to-one consultation, where different rules apply. You may name your prescribers and their GMC or NMC registration, state your CQC status where applicable, and detail your aftercare and complications policy. Practically that means building the funnel around wrinkle-treatment consultation intent rather than product searches, using organic content and Google Business Profile to capture the branded demand you cannot lawfully buy, and running a written pre-publication check over every asset. Most non-UK agencies breach this within a fortnight of taking the account — and it is the clinic, not the agency, that carries the ruling.

Question 8

How do NHS waiting lists actually translate into private enquiries?

Accepted Answer

The self-pay patient is a genuinely different buyer from the traditional insured private patient, and most clinic marketing is still written for the latter. This person did not plan to pay for healthcare. They have been given a wait they cannot live with — a hip, a knee, a hernia, a dermatology or gynaecology appointment, a scan — and they are trying to establish whether going private is affordable and how much sooner it would happen. Their search behaviour is unmistakable: cost and timing queries, not surgeon queries. Private knee replacement cost. How much is an MRI privately. See a dermatologist without a GP referral. Clinics lose them in two predictable ways. They hide price behind an enquiry form, which pushes a comparison shopper straight to whoever published theirs. And they say nothing about timing, when speed is the entire reason the patient is on the page. An indicative price range stating what is and is not included, plus a realistic time to first appointment, converts far better than contact us for a quote, and it filters out enquiries you were never going to convert anyway. The rest is mechanics: procedure-and-location pages instead of one omnibus services page, plain guidance on whether a GP referral is needed, finance options stated openly, and third-party reviews and your CQC rating visible at the point of enquiry. The demand already exists — nearly all the work is removing reasons to hesitate.

Question 9

What actually gets UK clinics into trouble with the ASA or CQC?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is repetitive enough to be predictable. On the ASA side: naming prescription-only medicines; using before-and-after imagery for cosmetic procedures without the care the codes require, particularly in social formats; efficacy claims such as permanent, painless, clinically proven or no downtime published without documentary substantiation held before the ad ran; misleading pricing, where a headline from-price is not genuinely available; patient testimonials making medical claims the clinic could not make itself; and influencer or affiliate content without clear ad labelling. Health claims around supplements and unlicensed treatments are another recurring category. Rulings are published, named and indexed by Google, so the reputational cost usually exceeds the enforcement cost. On the CQC side, marketing rarely causes the problem but frequently amplifies it. Advertising a regulated activity you are not registered to deliver is a straightforward breach. So is describing your service in terms inconsistent with your registration or your last inspection report. And a requires-improvement rating that is invisible on your website does not stay invisible, because patients look it up before they call. Our working practice is unglamorous and effective: a substantiation file behind every published claim, a written pre-publication check on all aesthetics assets, no superlatives without evidence, and copy reviewed against your registration scope rather than your ambitions. If your rating is strong we put it where patients see it. If it is not, we stay silent rather than write something that later reads as misleading.
