Your healthcare ads are losing to competitors on Google
Manchester's 75,000 SMBs spend £2,800/month on digital. Most see nothing. We make every pound work.
📍 Manchester Market Insight: Healthcare businesses in Manchester face a unique challenge: patients search for urgent care, specialists and treatments locally, but outdated websites and poorly-targeted ads mean competitors capture them first. Google Maps visibility is the battlefield—and most practices lose before the patient even calls. The average healthcare provider in Manchester spends £2,800 monthly on paid marketing with minimal system to track patient acquisition cost, review generation, or mobile conversion. Practices that succeed combine hyper-local paid search, reputation management and mobile-first landing pages. Those that don't, watch their patient pipeline shrink.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Manchester's healthcare sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Patients finding your competitors on Google Maps before you”
Your paid search and local ads are either missing or targeting too broadly, wasting budget on non-local searches
You lose 3–5 patients per month to competitors; at £1,200 patient lifetime value, that's £3,600–£6,000 in lost revenue monthly
“Your website isn't converting visitors into appointment requests”
Your landing pages aren't optimised for mobile, lack trust signals, and don't match the ad promise patients expect
Even when ads drive traffic, 98%+ bounce without booking; your ad spend becomes pure waste
“No consistent stream of patient reviews or reputation online”
You have no system to ask satisfied patients for reviews post-visit, so Google and Facebook see you as unproven
New patients skip you for practices with 4.5+ star ratings; competitors with review momentum compound their advantage monthly
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit Your Paid Presence
Week 1–2We examine every ad account, landing page, and conversion path you currently have live. We benchmark your cost-per-lead, click-through rates, and mobile conversion against Manchester healthcare standards. We identify which ads are haemorrhaging budget and where quick wins exist.
Detailed Paid Marketing Audit Report + Cost-Per-Lead Analysis + Competitor Benchmarking
Rebuild Landing Pages for Conversion
Week 3–4We redesign or build mobile-first landing pages that match your ad copy, include trust signals (credentials, testimonials, certifications), and have one clear CTA: book an appointment. Every element is tested for conversion, not vanity.
2–3 High-Converting Landing Pages + Mobile Optimisation + A/B Test Plan
Restructure Paid Campaigns
Week 4–5We rebuild your Google Ads (Search + Local Services) and Facebook/Instagram campaigns with tighter audience targeting, lower-cost keywords, and Manchester-specific intent signals. We segment by service line (e.g., dental cleaning vs. implants) so budget goes only to high-intent prospects.
Restructured Ad Accounts + Keyword Strategy + Audience Segmentation + Daily Monitoring Setup
Launch Review Generation System
Week 5–6We implement an automated system to request reviews from patients post-visit via SMS or email, ensuring you capture 5–8 new reviews monthly. More reviews = higher Google ranking, more trust, lower cost-per-lead.
Review Generation Workflow + SMS/Email Templates + Monthly Review Tracker
Optimise & Scale
Ongoing (Month 2+)Week 2 onwards, we monitor daily: adjust bids, pause underperformers, scale winning ad sets, test new audiences. You'll see cost-per-lead drop 20–40% as algorithms learn and we find the most efficient patient sources in Manchester.
Weekly Performance Reports + Bid & Budget Optimisation + Monthly Strategy Calls
After 6 weeks, you'll have a fully optimised paid marketing engine: lower cost-per-lead, more mobile conversions, and a steady stream of new patient reviews. By month 3, you'll compete with the best-funded practices in Manchester on cost-efficiency, not budget size.
Manchester Healthcare Success Stories
A 3-dentist practice in Spinningfields, Manchester, offering cosmetic and general dentistry
Spending £3,200/month on Facebook ads with zero tracking of which patients came from ads. Landing pages were outdated, mobile-unfriendly. Google Maps showed competitors first. No review system.
- →Rebuilt Facebook & Google Ads campaigns with audience segmentation by service (cosmetic vs. routine cleanings) and tighter geographic radius to Spinningfields postcode areas
- →Designed 2 mobile-first landing pages: one for cosmetic smile makeovers, one for NHS cleaning—each with before/after galleries, patient testimonials, and 1-click booking
- →Launched SMS review request workflow: patients receive text 24h post-visit asking for a Google/Facebook review; 6 weeks in, went from 12 to 43 reviews
“We were throwing money at Facebook and had no idea if it was working. Within 8 weeks of working with Omakaase, we could see exactly which ads brought in patients and which didn't. Our cost per patient dropped by half. The review system alone has transformed how we show up on Google.”
A 5-physio clinic with multiple locations across Manchester (city centre, Didsbury, Stockport borders)
Running separate ad accounts per location with no budget coordination; high ad spend, low conversion. Website didn't explain service offerings clearly. Mobile users bounced instantly. Competitors with 4.7+ star ratings dominated local search.
- →Consolidated 5 ad accounts into 1 unified structure with location-based ad sets; shifted 40% of budget from brand awareness to high-intent local service ads (e.g., 'sports physio near me')
- →Rebuilt homepage & service pages for mobile; added trust signals: qualifications, injury specialties, patient testimonials, emergency availability. Added live appointment booking widget.
- →Implemented patient review request workflow + monthly email to past patients highlighting new services; went from 2–3 reviews/month to 12+ reviews/month across all locations
“Omakaase made us realise we were running 5 separate marketing disasters instead of 1 coordinated engine. The biggest shock was the reviews system—our patients were happy but we never asked. Now we're the highest-rated physio group in Manchester. That changed everything.”
