Who We Work With

Built for Healthcare Agencies at Every Stage of Growth

Whether you're running your first Google Ads campaign or taking over from an agency that wasn't delivering, HealthsDriven provides the healthcare-specific expertise to make your ad spend perform.

New & Startup Agencies

We set up your Google Ads account from scratch — keyword research, campaign structure, ad copy, landing pages, and conversion tracking — so your first dollar spent is working from day one.

Growing Agencies Scaling Ad Spend

Expanding into new service areas or adding care lines? We scale your campaigns intelligently — adding geographic targeting, new ad groups, and budget strategies that protect your cost-per-lead as you grow.

Agencies Switching from Another Agency

If your current agency doesn't understand healthcare compliance, HIPAA ad restrictions, or the nuance of hospice vs. home health keywords — we audit, fix, and rebuild your account the right way.

Our Solutions

Everything Included in Our Google Ads Management

We don't just run ads — we build a complete paid search system designed around your care setting, compliance requirements, and intake process.

Healthcare Keyword Strategy

Healthcare search intent is highly specific. We research and build keyword lists that match exactly how families and referral sources search — filtering out irrelevant traffic that wastes your budget.

Service-specific keyword research by care setting
Geo-targeted keyword sets matched to your service zip codes
Negative keyword lists to block irrelevant searches
Competitor keyword gap analysis

HIPAA-Compliant Ad Copy & Creative

Healthcare ads must comply with Google's sensitive category policies and HIPAA requirements. We write ad copy that is compelling, compassionate, and fully compliant — so your account never gets suspended.

Responsive search ads with multiple headline & description variants
Ad extensions — sitelinks, callouts, call & location extensions
Google sensitive category policy compliance review
Continuous A/B testing to improve click-through rate

Bid Management & Budget Optimization

Healthcare keywords are expensive. We use smart bidding strategies and continuous optimization to lower your cost-per-click, reduce wasted spend, and ensure your budget is always allocated to the highest-converting campaigns.

Smart bidding strategy setup — Target CPA, Target ROAS, Maximize Conversions
Daily bid adjustments based on device, time, and location performance
Budget pacing to prevent overspend and underspend
Monthly budget reallocation to top-performing ad groups

Conversion Tracking & Monthly Reporting

Most agencies have no idea which Google Ads are actually generating patient calls or intake form submissions. We build full attribution so every conversion is tracked, reported, and tied to real revenue.

Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics 4 setup
Call tracking — record which ads drove inbound calls
Form submission & intake request conversion tracking
Monthly performance reports — impressions, clicks, leads, cost-per-lead

Our Process

From Account Audit to Qualified Leads — in Weeks

Our proven 4-step launch process gets healthcare agencies generating qualified inbound leads from Google faster than any generalist agency can.

Audit & Strategy Call

We review your existing account (or start fresh), define your target patient profile, service area, and monthly budget goals.

Build & Configure

We set up campaigns, write HIPAA-compliant ad copy, configure conversion tracking, and build healthcare-specific landing pages.

Launch & Optimize

Campaigns go live. We monitor performance daily, adjusting bids, keywords, and ad copy to reduce cost-per-lead week over week.

Report & Scale

Monthly reports show exactly what's working. We scale top performers and reallocate budget to maximize your return on every dollar spent.

Why Choose Us

Why Healthcare Agencies Choose HealthsDriven for Google Ads

Generic digital agencies don't understand healthcare compliance, sensitive category restrictions, or what families are actually searching for. We do.

Healthcare-Only SEM Specialists

Every campaign we manage is for a healthcare agency. We understand the language, urgency, and compliance requirements that make healthcare paid search fundamentally different from any other industry.

HIPAA-Compliant Campaign Management

We never use protected health information in ad targeting, retargeting audiences, or conversion tracking. Every campaign is built within a fully HIPAA-compliant framework from the ground up.

Local & Hyper-Targeted Campaigns

We build geo-targeted campaigns down to the zip code level so your budget reaches only the families and referral sources in your actual service territory — not wasted clicks 50 miles away.

Full-Funnel Attribution

We track every call, form submission, and intake inquiry back to the exact keyword and ad that generated it — so you always know your true cost-per-lead and return on ad spend.

Fast Campaign Launch

Most healthcare agencies are live on Google within 7–10 business days of onboarding. We don't take months to build what should be running in days.

Transparent, No-Markup Billing

We charge a flat management fee — we never mark up your ad spend. Every dollar of your Google Ads budget goes directly to Google, not into our margin.

FAQ

Common Questions About Google Ads for Healthcare

Straight answers to what healthcare agencies ask us most before starting a Google Ads campaign.

Budget requirements vary significantly by care setting, market size, and competition level. In most markets, hospice and home health agencies see meaningful lead volume starting at $1,500–$3,000 per month in ad spend. Assisted living communities in competitive metro areas often require $3,000–$6,000 or more. We provide a market analysis during onboarding to recommend a realistic starting budget based on your specific service area and goals.

Yes. Google classifies healthcare as a sensitive advertising category and applies additional restrictions on personalized advertising, remarketing, and certain ad formats for healthcare providers. Additionally, HIPAA prohibits the use of protected health information in ad targeting. Our team is experienced in navigating Google's healthcare advertising policies and building campaigns that are both effective and fully compliant.

Unlike SEO, Google Ads can generate inbound calls and form submissions within days of launch. Most healthcare agencies see their first qualified leads within the first week. Campaign performance typically improves significantly over the first 60–90 days as Google's smart bidding algorithms gather conversion data and optimize toward your best-performing keywords and audience signals.

Cost-per-lead benchmarks vary by care setting and market. Hospice agencies typically see costs between $80–$200 per qualified lead depending on market competition. Assisted living communities often see $150–$400 per lead given longer decision cycles. Home health agencies typically achieve $50–$120 per lead. We benchmark your campaigns against these ranges and optimize continuously to keep your cost-per-lead as low as possible.

Yes. We manage multi-location and multi-service-line accounts for healthcare organizations operating across several markets or offering multiple care settings. Each service line and location gets its own dedicated campaign structure, budget, and keyword set — ensuring performance is accurately measured and optimized independently rather than lumped together in a single campaign.

Yes. A great ad is only as good as the page it sends traffic to. We audit your existing landing pages and provide conversion rate optimization recommendations — or build dedicated campaign landing pages designed specifically to convert healthcare search traffic into calls and intake form submissions. Every page is HIPAA-compliant, mobile-optimized, and built to match the intent of the keyword that brought the visitor there.
