The playbook/Google Ads
Play 05 — Google Ads

Someone is searching “podiatrist near me” right now. Paid search puts you in front of them today.

Search ads are the fastest play in the book. Done right, they bring high-intent patients the week they launch. Done wrong, they spend your budget on people who were never going to book. We only run them the right way.

Discovery call & free auditHow this play works
The problem

Where practices lose this one.

Podiatry patients convert by phone over forms by a wide margin. A campaign graded on form fills is optimizing for the wrong thing.

  • 01Budget spent on the wrong keywords.“Foot pain” is not “podiatrist near me.” Broad terms bring readers; intent terms bring patients.
  • 02Ads that send patients to the homepage.A patient searching for bunion surgery should land on the bunion page with a number to call. Not a menu.
  • 03Conversions counted on forms.Most podiatry patients call. If calls are not tracked, the report says the campaign is failing while the phone rings.
What we run

Google Ads, built for podiatry.

Part of the six-play growth playbook. Sequenced with the other five so each one makes the next work harder.

01

Intent-only keyword structure

Campaigns by location and by condition, built around the searches that book. Negative keywords cleaned weekly so budget stops leaking.

02

Landing pages that match the search

One page per campaign, written for the condition and the location, with a tracked call number above the fold.

03

Call-first conversion tracking

Calls over 60 seconds and booked appointments are the conversions. Google forwarding numbers on call ads, tracked numbers on pages, and the CRM as the ledger. No pixel data leaves your site.

How we measure it

One report a month. Owner language, not platform metrics.

Calls and booked patients are the conversions. Rankings and reach are how we get there.

01

Cost per new patient

Spend divided by qualified calls and bookings. Reported against a target we set together on the first call.

02

Calls and bookings by campaign

Which location, which condition, which keyword. Owner language, not platform metrics.

03

Schedule impact

New patients booked from paid search, on the same monthly report as everything else.

40%

reduction in cost per acquisition

After keyword cleanup and call-first tracking on a partner practice’s account. The ads did not change. What we measured and what we cut did.

Questions practices ask

Before the call.

01What budget does this need?
It depends on your market and how many locations you run. We set the number on the first call from real search volume in your area, and we never run ads before the tracking is in place.
02Do you use the Meta pixel or remarketing on our site?
No. Medical sites carry real exposure with those tools. We track calls and bookings first-party and upload only anonymous conversion signals to Google.
03How fast do results show?
Calls start the first week. Cost per new patient settles in four to six weeks as the account learns and the keyword list is cleaned.
