Healthcare marketing in Dubai, frequently asked questions
Google Ads for clinics cost around AED 5 to 15 per click, with monthly budgets starting from AED 3,000. Social media starts from AED 3,000 a month, and SEO from AED 3,000 to 5,000 a month. We build packages around your clinic's goals and budget rather than a fixed one-size fee.
Google Search Ads for immediate patient leads, Instagram for brand awareness and trust, and SEO for long-term free traffic. Most successful clinics use a mix of all three: ads bring patients today while SEO builds a steady flow that costs nothing per click over time.
Google Ads can generate patient enquiries within 24 to 48 hours. Social media ads take 2 to 4 weeks to optimise. SEO takes 3 to 6 months to build. The usual approach is to start with Google Ads for quick leads while SEO grows in the background.
Yes. All healthcare advertising must comply with DHA and MOHAP guidelines, and you cannot make claims like guaranteed results or before-and-after promises that break the rules. We build compliant campaigns that still convert, so you grow without risking your licence.
The health authorities restrict how patient images, testimonials and outcome claims are used in advertising, and the rules are stricter for cosmetic and aesthetic treatments. We keep creative within the guidelines while still building trust, using approved messaging rather than claims that could get an ad or a clinic penalised.
Yes. We run campaigns targeting patients in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UK, India, Pakistan and Russia, with multilingual landing pages so each audience reads in their own language. Medical tourism is one of our growing healthcare services, because a single international patient can be worth many local ones.
High-value, elective treatments tend to see the strongest return: dentistry and orthodontics, dermatology and aesthetics, cosmetic surgery, IVF and fertility, and specialist dental or ophthalmology. These have patients actively searching and a high value per case, so paid search pays back quickly.
Very. Most patients check reviews and your Google Business Profile before booking, and clinics with more, better reviews win the click even against bigger names. We help set up review generation and keep your profile complete, because it lifts both map rankings and conversion.
Many UAE patients prefer to message rather than fill a form, so we route ads to WhatsApp and capture those enquiries properly. Pairing that with our AI form caller means every new enquiry gets a fast first response, which matters when a patient is comparing several clinics.
Done right, it brings patients. Educational posts, short treatment explainers and genuine patient stories build the trust that turns a follower into a booking, and paid social lead ads can drive enquiries directly. The key is content that answers real patient questions rather than vanity posting for likes.
Beyond winning new patients, we set up recall and reactivation, reminding patients about check-ups, cleanings or follow-ups by WhatsApp, SMS or a call. An existing patient is far cheaper to bring back than acquiring a new one, so recall is one of the quickest wins for a clinic.
Yes, for suitable treatments. Our pay per lead model lets you pay only for qualified enquiries rather than funding ad spend upfront. We run the advertising and you focus on converting the enquiries into booked appointments.
