PPC, or Pay-Per-Click, is a digital marketing model where advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. It's essentially a way of buying visits to your site, rather than attempting to "earn" those visits organically. PPC is commonly associated with search engines like Google Ads or Bing Ads, where advertisers bid on keywords relevant to their target audience and pay for each click on their advertisements. However, PPC can also refer to ads on social media platforms, where businesses pay for their ads to be shown to targeted demographics. The goal of PPC is to lead the user who clicks on the ad to complete a valuable action, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form.

The cost of hiring a PPC marketing agency can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the size of your campaigns, the complexity of your market, and the experience level of the agency. Generally, you may encounter:

• Flat Fees: Some agencies charge a flat monthly management fee which can range from $350 to $5,000 or more per month depending on the extent of services provided.
• Percentage of Ad Spend: Many agencies charge a percentage of your advertising spend, typically between 10% to 30%. For larger ad budgets, this percentage may decrease.
• Performance-Based Fees: Occasionally, agencies might charge based on performance metrics like cost-per-action (CPA), where the fee is tied to campaign effectiveness.
• Setup Fees: Initial setup fees for new campaigns could be anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.

It's important to obtain detailed quotes from potential agencies and understand what is included in their fees to evaluate if their services align with your needs and budget. Schedule a free consultation with Clinician Box and we will go through our pricing structure in detail. 

To advertise a new medical office to your local community using digital ads, you can create a comprehensive funnel strategy that targets potential patients at the top (TOFU), middle (MOFU), and bottom (BOFU) of the funnel.

TOFU - Top of the Funnel: Awareness

Geo-targeted Display Ads: Use display ads on platforms like Google Display Network and social media to target users in your local area, increasing brand awareness.

MOFU - Middle of the Funnel: Consideration

Search Engine Marketing (SEM): Use PPC ads targeting more specific keywords related to your services to capture the attention of those actively looking for medical services.

Remarketing Campaigns: Implement remarketing campaigns to re-engage users who have visited your website but have not yet booked an appointment.

BOFU - Bottom of the Funnel: Conversion

• Landing Pages with Strong Call-to-Actions (CTAs): Direct your ads to landing pages specifically designed to encourage appointments. Include clear CTAs, easy appointment forms, and contact information.
• Online Booking System: Make it easy for patients to book an appointment directly from your ads or website.
• Patient Testimonials and Reviews: Showcase positive reviews and testimonials from patients to build trust and encourage conversions.
• Email Marketing: Collect email addresses through your website and send targeted follow-ups or newsletters with a clear path to book an appointment.

Throughout all stages, track your ad performance with analytics tools to understand which ads are driving traffic and conversions. This data will help you refine your digital advertising strategy over time.
