Your competitors own patient discovery. Reclaim it today.
48,000 healthcare SMBs compete for Leeds patients. Most lose on social. We build community that converts.
📍 Leeds Market Insight: Leeds healthcare practices face a unique challenge: patients search for providers on Google Maps and social platforms before visiting websites. Most practices post sporadically, lack patient review systems, and miss opportunities to build trust in crowded local markets. Social media isn't optional—it's where patient decisions happen. The practices winning in Leeds aren't the largest; they're the ones building visible, engaged communities online.
Leeds Healthcare Digital Landscape
Channel Effectiveness
Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Leeds's healthcare sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Patients find your competitors on Google Maps before finding you”
Inconsistent social posting and missing review generation system. Your profiles exist but don't work for you—no strategy, no community, no proof.
Lost 15–25 patient inquiries monthly; competitors capture your local search visibility
“Website traffic and calls haven't improved despite being online for years”
Social media treated as a 'nice to have' rather than a patient acquisition channel. No funnel connecting social engagement to appointments.
£2,200/month average digital spend generates <5 qualified leads
“No system to ask satisfied patients for online reviews”
Review generation left to chance. Practices without a repeatable, integrated review process fall behind competitors with 50+ 5-star reviews.
Missing 30–40% of patient trust signals; lower ranking in local search; reduced conversion rate on new patient pages

Weekly published content, community management reports, patient response logs
Paid Amplification & Performance Optimisation
Month 2+ (ongoing)Based on organic performance, we invest 20–30% of budget into targeted paid campaigns to reach nearby patients actively searching for your services. Monthly reporting shows ROI per channel.
Paid campaign setup, monthly performance dashboards, optimisation recommendations, cost-per-lead tracking
After 6 months, you'll have a visible, trusted community on social media generating 20–40 qualified patient inquiries monthly, a systematic review pipeline producing 3–5 new 5-star reviews weekly, and a measurable cost-per-lead that justifies your entire marketing spend.
Leeds Healthcare Success Stories
A Leeds-based dental practice in the city centre with 3 dentists, 2 hygienists, and 8 years operating history
Despite being established, the practice ranked below two newer competitors on Google Maps. Social media was dormant. New patient bookings had plateaued at 8–12/month. The practice was spending £1,800/month on PPC with poor conversion.
- →Built a patient education content calendar around common dental anxieties (tooth sensitivity, whitening myths, implant fears) and published 3x weekly on Facebook and Instagram
- →Implemented an automated SMS review request system sent to patients 5 days post-appointment, generating 12–18 new Google reviews monthly
- →Redirected £600 of underperforming PPC budget into targeted Instagram and Facebook ads promoting the practice's latest treatment videos and patient testimonials
“After 4 months, we stopped wondering if social media was worth it. Our phone was ringing. More importantly, patients were coming in already trusting us because they'd seen our content and reviews. Omakaase didn't just post pretty pictures—they understood how dental practices work and built a system that actually converted.”
A Headingley-based physiotherapy clinic with 2 practitioners and a new telemedicine offering
Launched telemedicine during post-lockdown uncertainty. Local competitors dominated search results. The clinic had no social presence and struggled to explain virtual physio to a sceptical local market. Monthly new patient bookings averaged 5–7.
- →Created educational video content explaining telemedicine physio, recovery exercises, and injury prevention—published weekly to YouTube, Instagram Reels, and TikTok to reach younger patients and referrers
- →Built partnership content featuring local GPs and allied health practitioners, positioning the clinic as a community hub rather than a lone provider
- →Set up a structured patient testimonial campaign with video case studies from successful remote patients, posted monthly to all channels
“Social media felt risky for a clinical service like physio. But Omakaase showed us how to educate and build trust through video. Now our waiting list is full, and we're fielding inquiries from outside Leeds because our content ranks nationally. The telemedicine service wouldn't exist without this strategy.”
