Your time with us
~1 hour a month
You see patients. We handle the rest.
You didn't train for a decade to write Google posts between appointments. We run the whole system and keep you in the loop without taking over your week.
What we need from you
- One 45-minute kickoff about your practice and the patients you want more of
- About an hour a month to review results with us
- Final say on anything published under your name
What we run for you
- Google Business Profile, local search, and paid search
- Review requests and response drafts
- Content written for patients and AI assistants

Four services. One accountable system.
Performance Marketing & RevOps
Google Maps, local search, and paid campaigns aimed at the procedures you want more of, tracked all the way to the booked visit.
Content Management, AGO & GEO
Patient-friendly content and structured data that help ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews recommend you by name.
AI-Powered Development
A fast, mobile-first practice website with online booking, reminders, and an intake assistant that works after hours.

- Cost per booked visit
- Measured by channel, so budget moves toward what actually fills your schedule.
- Monthly, in plain English
- A short review call, with a clear recommendation for what to do next.

What does HealthDocus do?
HealthDocus runs patient-growth marketing for doctors and specialists, and for the hospitals and diagnostic labs they work alongside. We handle local search, reviews, AI-search visibility (AGO/GEO), websites and online booking, and Revenue Operations, so every marketing dollar is traced to a booked appointment.
I'm a busy doctor. How much of my time will this take?
Very little. After a 45-minute kickoff, most doctors spend about an hour a month with us reviewing results and approving anything published in their name. We run strategy, content, campaigns, and reporting end to end.
How is HealthDocus different from a typical healthcare marketing agency?
Most agencies report on impressions or leads. We report on booked, completed visits by connecting marketing to your scheduling, EHR/CRM, and front-desk workflow through RevOps. We also build the AI-search visibility (AGO/GEO) that generic agencies overlook.
Do you work with hospitals and diagnostic labs too?
Yes. Alongside independent doctors and specialists, we work with hospitals and multi-specialty clinics that need to bring departments under one system, and with diagnostic labs and imaging centers that want to remove friction from booking.
How much does it cost to work with HealthDocus?
Pricing is scoped to the services you need, from a single website build to a full marketing, RevOps, and Fractional CMO engagement. Start with a free practice audit and we'll send a scoped proposal based on your goals and your current setup.
How quickly will we see results?
Local search and paid campaigns typically show measurable patient inquiries within 30 to 45 days. Website, review, and AI-search improvements compound over the following 60 to 90 days as visit and attribution data builds up.
See what patients see before they choose.
A free practice audit takes about 30 minutes of your time. We do the digging first, then walk you through what we found.
