WHO WE WORK WITH

Who our healthcare marketing agency works with

Every part of health buys differently. A surgeon needs referrers and informed patients. A GP clinic needs locals who book online tonight. A health brand needs buyers who trust the product. We build each campaign around how your patients actually choose.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Surgeons and referred care

Informed patients, and referrers who remember your name

Patients usually arrive with a GP referral, then research before they book. We build the search presence, education content and referrer campaigns that make your practice the name they recognise, all within AHPRA rules.

GPs and medical centres

Fuller appointment books from your own suburbs

Families choose a GP close to home and often book online after hours. We run local search, Google Business Profile and Meta campaigns by clinic, so each location fills its own books and new doctors build their lists sooner.

Cosmetic and aesthetic clinics

Consult bookings that stay inside the advertising rules

Cosmetic advertising is under closer watch than ever. We make Meta, TikTok and Google campaigns that educate and build trust without before and after shortcuts, then follow every enquiry through to a booked consult.

Allied health and dental

New patients for the services you want to grow

Physio, psychology, dental and allied health clinics often get leads that never answer the phone. We point Google and Meta at the services with capacity, screen out poor-fit enquiries and track which campaigns become first appointments.

PROBLEMS AND FIXES

The problems we see. The Sneaky fixes we deliver.

Clinic owners and practice managers tell us the same things on almost every first call. Here is what usually goes wrong, and what we do about it.

Sound familiar? Let's talk

Enquiries that never pick up the phone

THE FIX

Cheap lead forms fill a spreadsheet, not a diary. We add qualifying questions, send ads to booking pages that work and judge every campaign on appointments booked, not leads collected.

Nobody can say which ads bring in patients

THE FIX

We connect your ads to calls, online bookings and your practice software where it allows, so you can see which campaign, service and clinic each new patient came from.

Worried an ad could breach AHPRA rules

THE FIX

Every headline, image and claim is checked against AHPRA and TGA advertising rules before it runs. No testimonials about clinical care, no outcome promises and clear terms on any offer.

Told Google is too expensive for a clinic

THE FIX

Google is where patients go when they already need care. We build tight campaigns around the services and suburbs that pay, cut the searches that waste money and set budgets from what a new patient is worth.

A practice manager doing marketing after hours

THE FIX

We work alongside your practice manager or marketing lead, taking on the planning, creative, media and reporting so they can get back to running the clinic. One senior team, one monthly plan.

Every clinic in the group fighting for budget

THE FIX

For multi-site groups we split campaigns by location, so a busy metro clinic never starves a quieter regional one. Each site gets its own reporting and the group sees the whole picture.

How we grow healthcare brands

How we grow a healthcare practice

  1. 01

    Map the patient journey

    We learn your services, capacity, referral sources and what a new patient is worth, then map how patients find and choose a practice like yours.

  2. 02

    Set up tracking first

    Calls, bookings and forms are tracked before a dollar is spent, so every report shows patients, not clicks.

  3. 03

    Make compliant creative

    Our in-house team writes and designs the ads, landing pages and video, checked against AHPRA rules before your practitioners sign off.

  4. 04

    Run, test and report

    We shift budget towards the services, suburbs and channels that book patients, and report each month in plain English, ready for the partners or the board.

CHANNELS

Channels that bring patients in

All services

Google Ads

Patients search when they need care. As your Google Ads agency, we run Search and Performance Max by service and location, with every call and booking tracked.

Local SEO

Most clinic choices start on a map. Our local SEO agency team builds Google Business Profiles and location pages that win nearby searches.

Meta ads

Facebook and Instagram reach people before they search, which suits elective care and new clinics. Our Meta ads agency work turns that attention into booked consults.

Programmatic advertising

Google and Meta restrict some health categories. Our programmatic advertising agency team reaches patients and referrers on premium sites, apps and streaming TV.

AI search optimisation

Patients now ask ChatGPT which clinic to see. AI search optimisation helps your practice become the answer it gives.

Tracking and analytics

GA4 conversion tracking ties every call, form and booking to the campaign behind it, so you know your cost per new patient.

FAQ

Healthcare marketing questions

Can you advertise a clinic without breaching AHPRA rules?

Yes. We write every ad and landing page against AHPRA's advertising guidelines, which means no testimonials about clinical care, no promises about outcomes and clear terms on any offer. Your practitioners still sign off before anything runs.

Should a clinic start with Google Ads or Facebook ads?

Usually Google first, because those people already need care and are choosing a provider. Meta suits elective services, new clinics and building awareness in your area, and the two work better together once tracking is in place.

What should a clinic spend on advertising each month?

Work backwards from what a new patient is worth and how many you can see. Our healthcare clients typically invest $10K or more a month in media, and we show the cost per new patient so you can decide when to scale.

Can you track bookings made through online booking platforms?

Usually, yes. Many booking platforms can pass bookings back to GA4 and your ad accounts. Where one can't, we track the click to book and match it against your appointment reports.

Do you work with multi-clinic groups as well as single practices?

Yes. For groups, each clinic gets its own campaigns, budget and reporting, all managed from one account so your locations never bid against each other.

Do you market health products as well as clinics?

Yes. We market medical device, sleep health and wellness brands online as well as clinics, with ecommerce campaigns written to stay within TGA advertising rules.

A note from our founders
April and Brendan Ford, co-founders
April & Brendan FordCo-founders

Marketing should act like part of your commercial engine. Not a cost centre.

We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands miss their potential. Campaigns that didn't convert. Data nobody tracked. Junior advice, and service that left people chasing.

So we built the agency we would want to hire. A senior team on every account, no hand-offs, and every decision measured against profit, not platforms. We'll speak your language.
