Koda Digital proudly presents: Healthcare Marketing Ad Spend 101. We exclusively work with medical practices on growing their practices. Doctors, practice managers, and medical marketers are constantly asking how much they should be spending on paid advertising.
We constantly hear:
1. How much should my healthcare practice spend each month on advertising?
2. How much should my practice spend each month on Google Ads?
3. How much should my healthcare practice spend to get a patient?
4. How much should I pay for a click?
5. How do I know it's working?
We know the winning formula to calculating the right mix of investment and return on growing your practice.

Bring your practice and your solutions to
the patients that need it most.
Never stand still - if you do, you’re asking to
get hit.
Change happens - how can you de-risk
your patient acquisition to stand the trials
and tribulations of the digital age?

Many practices get new patients solely from
referrals and word-of-mouth. What happens
when a doctor retires or gets acquired?
Having open slots in the schedule feels
bad, and feeling like you’re at the mercy of
everyone else feels even worse.
Digital marketing is an unavoidable necessity,
but it’s like drinking from a firehose.

more subjective than marketing spend.

If you’re spending money for each click, you want to prioritize the
patients that bring you the most value.

Paid advertising is all about long-term optimization. Make sure you have
enough data - you could be throwing the baby out with the bathwater!
