The commercial problem

Sensitive health data and remarketing limits

Using health conditions for targeting or remarketing is restricted on major platforms and under privacy law. Measurement must avoid sending health information to ad platforms.

Long, trust-heavy conversion path

The journey from first enquiry to consultation and treatment is long and depends on clinical review, travel planning and trust signals.

Claims and licensing

Medical claims, before/after content and service licensing vary by country and must be approved before any campaign runs.

What FOCUSADS would actually do

  1. Measure attended appointments and feed them back where the platform allows.
  2. Use local search, maps and social with location and time targeting matched to your capacity.
  3. Shorten the path to booking: direct calendar slots, mobile-first pages, reminders.
  4. Pace spend to available capacity so you do not buy demand you cannot serve.

Primary candidates

Candidates from the reference taxonomy. Each is checked for account, market, format and policy eligibility before launch.

What you will need to provide

  • Booking system or calendar access
  • Capacity by location and day
  • Show-up and conversion rates
  • Service areas and opening hours

Healthcare advertising policies, medical claims, practitioner licensing, sensitive health data handling and country restrictions all require specialist review. FOCUSADS does not provide legal or medical advice.

What happens next

  1. Build your plan

    Ten minutes of questions about your market, economics and current setup. You get channel Priority Scores, a landing-page and tracking decision, and every cost line before anyone talks to you.

  2. Strategist review

    A FOCUSADS strategist checks the plan against your accounts and data, and flags anything the engine could not know.

  3. Agreement and access

    You approve scope and fees. We request least-privilege access to your own ad accounts. You never share passwords.

  4. Launch with measurement

    Tracking and landing pages are verified before media spend starts, so the first report measures business results.
