Paid Advertising for Healthcare & Med Spas
Fill treatment rooms with high-value patients through HIPAA-aware paid campaigns that track from ad click to booked appointment.
The Problem
What healthcare & med spas get wrong about paid advertising
Healthcare practices face a unique paid advertising challenge: HIPAA compliance restricts targeting options, patient testimonials require explicit consent, and generic 'doctor near me' campaigns attract low-value appointments that clog your schedule. Most practices either overspend on broad campaigns or avoid digital ads entirely — both leave treatment rooms empty. Meanwhile, corporate-backed practices in your zip code are running 10X your budget on Google and Meta, bidding up the same audience you need to reach.
Our Approach
How ABMG does it differently
We build HIPAA-aware paid campaigns that target specific treatments and patient demographics — not just 'anyone with insurance.' Google Ads campaigns focus on high-intent searches like 'Botox near me' or 'sports medicine specialist [city]' where patients are ready to book. Meta campaigns use lookalike audiences built from your existing patient base (without sharing PHI) to find new patients who match your ideal profile. Every campaign is tracked from ad click to booked appointment through your scheduling system, so you know exactly which ads fill your calendar — not just which ones get clicks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you run ads for healthcare without violating HIPAA?
We never use protected health information in ad targeting. Instead, we target by demographics, geography, and interest categories that indicate treatment intent. Remarketing audiences are built from website visitors (not patient records), and all ad creative is reviewed for compliance before launch.
What's the typical cost per new patient from paid advertising?
Healthcare CPC ranges $3–$8 for general terms and $20+ for competitive specialties. Our clients typically see cost per booked appointment between $50–$150 depending on the treatment value. High-value treatments like cosmetic procedures justify higher acquisition costs because the lifetime value is $5,000–$75,000.
Should we advertise specific treatments or our practice in general?
Treatment-specific campaigns outperform generic practice ads by 3–5X in our experience. A patient searching 'CoolSculpting near me' has much higher booking intent than someone searching 'medical spa.' We build campaigns around your highest-value and highest-margin treatments first, then expand.
