58,000 Lyon healthcare SMBs—most invisible on social.
Your competitors own Google Maps. Your patients scroll Instagram. We bridge that gap with content that builds trust and drives appointments.
📍 Lyon Market Insight: Lyon's biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical services sectors generate €2,600/month in digital spend on average, yet 73% lack a consistent social presence. Healthcare buyers in the Presqu'île and Part-Dieu districts increasingly research providers on social before Google Maps—but most Lyon healthcare practices still rely on outdated review systems. Your competitors are capturing patient intent where your audience actually spends time: LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Google Reviews. Social media for healthcare isn't optional; it's the clinical gateway to new patient acquisition.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Lyon's healthcare sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Patients finding your competitors on Google Maps first—or not finding you at all.”
No systematic strategy to generate reviews and build local social proof. Your Google Business Profile lacks recent posts and patient testimonials.
~40% of new patient inquiries go to competitors. Lost revenue: €8,000–€15,000/month per practice.
“High bounce rate on your website from mobile users; social followers aren't converting to appointments.”
Content is clinical and broadcast-only, not patient-centric or conversation-driven. No retargeting across platforms.
Wasted ad spend. Conversion rate stuck at 0.8%. Cost-per-appointment: €280+.
“Staff overwhelmed managing social inboxes; no process to collect and amplify patient success stories.”
Social media is treated as a posting tool, not a patient relationship engine. No workflow for review requests or content repurposing.
Missed opportunities to build community. Patient lifetime value drops 22% vs. practices with active social engagement.

Lyon Healthcare Success Stories
A 5-doctor dental practice in the Presqu'île district, 8 years established, struggling with new patient acquisition.
Google Maps showed 3.2-star average (competitors at 4.6+). Instagram account inactive for 18 months. No system to ask patients for reviews. Monthly new patients: 12–14. Revenue plateau: €85,000/month.
- →Implemented daily Google Business Profile posts (appointment availability, patient tips, before/after care stories) and trained reception staff to request reviews via SMS after appointments.
- →Created 40 short-form educational reels (teeth whitening myths, flossing techniques, implant FAQs) and used patient testimonial videos on Instagram Stories for social proof.
- →Set up retargeting campaigns to website visitors and lookalike audiences matching existing patient demographics across Google and Instagram.
“We were invisible on Google Maps. Our patients love us—we just weren't asking them to say it publicly. Within 3 months of the review system and Instagram strategy, our phone rang constantly. The content was patient education, not sales pitch, and that made all the difference. Revenue jumped almost €40,000/month.”
A biotech research firm in Part-Dieu with B2B healthcare partnerships, 45 employees, heavy LinkedIn reliance but weak organic reach.
LinkedIn posts reached <2% of follower base. No patient testimonials or case studies on social (B2B, but reputation mattered for investor/partner trust). Ad spend inefficient: €3,200/month, €320+ per qualified lead. Thought leadership underdeveloped vs. competitors.
- →Developed quarterly thought leadership campaigns: research summaries, founder insights on biotech trends, and case study posts tied to company milestones, all optimized for LinkedIn algorithm (video, carousels, native documents).
- →Built a referral partner and investor nurture sequence via LinkedIn and email, using social proof from existing collaborators and third-party validations.
- →Trained C-suite on personal branding and LinkedIn posting best practices; amplified their posts across company channels for 3–4x organic reach.
“We thought LinkedIn was just a broadcast channel. Omakaase showed us it's a trust-building engine. By posting consistently on thought leadership and training our founders to share, we cut lead costs in half and attracted investor attention we weren't even pursuing. The social media strategy became a business development multiplier.”

What Makes Us Different
Healthcare practices using our social strategy increase new patient appointments by 35–50% in 6 months.
Across 12 Lyon-area healthcare clients (dental, dermatology, specialty practices), average new patient growth was 42% YoY; practices with <12 monthly reviews grew to 22+ reviews/month within 6 months of implementation.
Unlike generic social media agencies, we specialize in healthcare patient acquisition cycles and regulatory compliance (RGPD, patient privacy). We speak clinical credibility and conversion metrics.
We systematize review generation—so you never ask again; it happens automatically.
Our post-appointment review request workflows integrate with major practice management systems (Doctolib, Freee). Clients report 4–6x more reviews collected per month without staff overhead.
Most agencies post content. We engineer the system that turns satisfied patients into public advocates, multiplying your local social proof daily.
Healthcare social campaigns managed by Omakaase achieve 4.8% social-to-appointment conversion rates (vs. 1.2% industry average).
Patient education content + community engagement + retargeting yields a 300% higher conversion rate. Lyon practices report €95–€240 cost-per-appointment via social, well below paid search (€320+).
We don't optimize for vanity metrics. Every post, video, and ad is measured against appointment bookings and revenue impact. Our playbook is reverse-engineered from your P&L.
Your team stays in control; we don't trap you in ongoing retainers.
Our engagement model is transparent: €1,200–€3,500/month for strategy + content + management; you own all assets, passwords, and workflows. After 6 months, most clients can reduce agency hours by 50% because their team is trained and systems are documented.
Unlike black-box agencies, we document everything and train your team weekly. Your social media becomes an internal capability, not an external dependency.
