Frequently Asked Questions

What types of healthcare providers do you work with?

We work with growth-focused clinics and healthcare providers in Singapore and SEA, including:

  • Specialist clinics (e.g., cardiology, ENT, ortho, gastro)
  • Dental clinics
  • Aesthetic and medical clinics
  • Allied health (physio, chiropractic, TCM, psychology)

If your clinic relies on patient enquiries, appointments, or procedure bookings — this system is built for you.

We do both, because most clinics need both.

  • SEO + Google Maps builds long-term patient demand and trust
  • Google Ads captures high-intent patients who need answers now
  • Landing page + conversion optimisation turns traffic into enquiries
  • HeroIQ tracking connects marketing to real outcomes

We don’t “push channels” — we build a full acquisition system

Most agencies optimise for:

  • clicks
  • traffic
  • leads

We optimise for what clinics actually care about:

  • high-value patients
  • booked appointments
  • lead quality improvement
  • clear visibility into what works

If something breaks after the click (front desk handling, low-quality leads, wrong intent), we surface it early and fix it — instead of blaming the platform.

Lead quality comes down to 4 things:

  1. Search intent targeting (the keywords and audiences you attract)
  2. Message clarity (who the service is for + what outcomes to expect)
  3. Landing page filtering (pre-qualifying patients before they enquire)
  4. Feedback loop (tracking which leads convert into appointments)

We don’t just “increase leads” — we refine the system until the right patients come in consistently.

No — and you should be careful with any agency that does.

Healthcare marketing is affected by:

  • competition and ad auction dynamics
  • your service pricing and positioning
  • doctor availability and clinic capacity
  • patient decision behaviour

What we do guarantee is:

  • best-practice execution
  • transparency
  • fast optimisation cycles
  • clear reporting tied to outcomes

It depends on the channel mix:

Google Ads (high intent):

  • typically within 7–21 days to see meaningful lead flow
  • quality improves over 30–60 days with optimisation

SEO + Google Maps:

  • early movement can start in 4–8 weeks
  • stronger outcomes usually build over 3–6 months

If you want both short-term wins + long-term compounding growth, the integrated approach works best.

Yes.

We often partner with clinics that have:

  • an internal marketing executive
  • a front desk team handling enquiries
  • an operations manager managing patient flow

We plug in as the specialist team to drive performance and accountability — without adding chaos.

Most clinics need two budgets:

(A) Marketing service fee (management + strategy + optimisation)

This depends on your scope (SEO, ads, landing pages, tracking).

(B) Ad spend (media budget)

Typical ranges:

  • $3,000–$8,000/month for most clinics
  • $10,000+/month for competitive specialist categories

We’ll advise the most realistic budget based on your services, margins, and patient value.

Yes — and it’s one of the highest ROI channels for clinics.

We optimise your local presence to win:

  • Google Maps visibility
  • “near me” searches
  • trust signals (reviews, profile completeness, authority)

For many clinics, Maps drives the highest conversion traffic because patients are already close to booking.

Yes — conversion is included because traffic alone doesn’t grow clinics.

We optimise:

  • landing page structure
  • service messaging
  • enquiry flow (form + WhatsApp + call CTAs)
  • trust elements (proof, credentials, outcomes, FAQs)

This is one of the fastest ways to improve ROI without increasing spend.

HeroIQ™ is our proprietary click-to-outcome visibility system.

Most agencies report:

  • impressions, clicks, cost per lead

HeroIQ™ helps connect:

Marketing → Enquiry → Outcome

So you can see:

  • which campaigns drive real patient demand
  • which services attract higher-value cases
  • where leads drop off after the click
  • how to reduce wasted spend over time

In short: it turns marketing decisions into reality-based decisions, not assumptions.

Yes.

Most clinics get leads from multiple touchpoints, such as:

  • calls
  • WhatsApp
  • website forms
  • booking links

We set up tracking so you can see what’s driving real enquiries — and which ones turn into actual appointments.

Yes.

We can run a Healthcare Growth Plan review to identify:

  • why lead quality is poor
  • where spend is leaking
  • whether targeting is wrong
  • whether the landing page is killing conversion
  • whether tracking is hiding the truth

Many clinics discover they weren’t failing — they were just optimising the wrong metrics.

Yes — premium clinics often benefit even more.

Premium pricing requires:

  • stronger trust building
  • better intent targeting
  • better patient education
  • better qualification and filtering

We position premium clinics properly so you attract patients who value quality — not bargain hunters.

No — and that’s intentional.

We only work with clinics that:

  • want long-term growth
  • care about patient quality
  • value transparency and accountability
  • are willing to invest properly

If you’re looking for the cheapest option or want “quick hacks”, we’re not the right fit — and we’ll tell you upfront.

Illumia Therapeutics Paid Ads Case Study

Overview

Illumia Therapeutics faced a significant “blind spot”: while their advertising generated a high volume of leads, they lacked visibility into which specific campaigns were producing qualified leads versus junk. By implementing HeroIQ, we bridged the gap between clicks and actual revenue. Without increasing their ad budget, we achieved:

  • 271% increase in monthly revenue within three months of implementation.
  • 7.5x increase in monthly closings
  • 15x increase in show-up rates compared to pre-implementation levels.

The Challenge: A "Leaking" Sales Funnel

Illumia Therapeutics was in a position many successful beauty spas face: they had no shortage of inquiries, but they were flying blind when it came to ROI. The core challenges included:

  • Lack of Lead Visibility: While lead volume was high, it was entirely unclear which advertising campaigns were delivering qualified leads and which were simply wasting budget on “window shoppers.”
  • ROAS Ambiguity: Because they couldn’t trace a specific sale back to a specific ad, they couldn’t identify their best Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), leading to inefficient budget allocation.
  • Manual Bottlenecks: The front desk relied on manual Excel sheets, making it impossible to track a lead’s journey from the first click to the final treatment.
  • Fragmented Data: With no centralized system, follow-ups were inconsistent, and valuable data on show-up rates and appointment conversions was frequently lost.

The Comparison: Life Before vs. After HeroIQ

Feature Before HeroIQ After HeroIQ
Lead Quality Visibility None. Unclear which ads generated patients vs. inquiries. Full Transparency. Every lead is traced back to the specific ad and creative bucket.
Data Management Manual Excel sheets; high risk of “leaky” sales funnel. Automated lead capture from Paid Search and Meta into a centralised dashboard.
Follow-up Process Inconsistent and slow; no tracking of lead status. Structured pipeline: New → Contacted → Booked → Showed → Closed.
Optimization Strategy Guesswork. High spend on high-volume, low-quality ads. Data-driven. Budget shifted to “winning buckets” that actually closed.
Revenue Growth Stagnant due to inefficient lead handling. Scaled 271% in 3 months.

The Results: Scaling Through Efficiency

The implementation of HeroIQ acted as a catalyst for exponential growth:

  • Efficiency Without Extra Spend: We achieved a 3x increase in revenue over 90 days and a 15x increase in show-ups —all while maintaining the same advertising budget.
  • From Steady to Strong Growth (Mar–Jul): Lead volume grew by 2.2x. More importantly, lead quality soared; appointments increased 7.5x in that same period.
  • Record Revenue Momentum: Once the funnel was stabilised and we could see which campaigns were “qualified,” revenue surged to a record-breaking 271%.

The Solution: A System for Qualified Success

We transformed Illumia’s marketing from a “lead-gen” engine into a “revenue-gen” engine through three core pillars:

1. End-to-End Lead Attribution (HeroIQ)

We replaced manual tracking with HeroIQ’s automated system. By using call tracking, transcribing, and automated web-form capture, we gave the team total visibility. For the first time, Illumia could see exactly which campaigns were producing the “qualified” leads that actually walked through the door.

2. Accountability in the Funnel

HeroIQ allowed us to track the status of every lead in real-time. This eliminated “lead leakage” by ensuring the front desk responded faster and followed a structured process. We moved from “we have a lead” to “we have a lead who is contacted, booked, and showed,” creating a clear path to the sale.

3. Winning Creative Buckets

Armed with data on which leads were the most qualified, we performed a deep-dive creative analysis. We grouped ads into “Creative Buckets” and used HeroIQ to see which ones had the highest closing rates. We shifted the budget away from high-volume/low-quality buckets and iterated on the winners, allowing us to scale revenue vertically without increasing the ad spend.

The Outcome

271%

increase in ad revenue

15x

increase in show-up rates

SL Aesthetic Clinic

The Challenge:

In the highly competitive Beauty & Aesthetics landscape in Singapore, SL Aesthetic Clinic had been growing at a steady pace since the early 2000s with their Friend-First, Patient-Second ethos. They were looking for ways to grow their business with more efficient lead generation strategies. The overall objective was to gain market share and expand their physical presence in Singapore.

The Solution

SL first began by setting up measurement systems to better attribute and track their conversions and value per conversion. This allowed them to find out which services offered the best return on investment (ROI). Once those benchmarks were established, A combination of Smart Bidding Google Ad campaigns and Performance Max campaigns were used to reach audiences that were most likely to convert.


Partnering with Heroes of Digital: SL worked with Heroes of Digital to better measure and deploy Smart Bidding and Performance Max for lead generation. 

The Outcome

Ark Surgical Practice

Ark Surgical Practice is a leading colorectal surgery clinic in Singapore, led by Dr. Chong Choon Seng, a respected expert in minimally invasive surgery. Committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care for a range of colorectal conditions, Ark Surgical Practice sought to expand its patient base and establish itself as a trusted authority in Singapore.

The Challenge:

With numerous specialist clinics in the competitive Singapore market, Ark Surgical Practice struggled to differentiate itself and attract new patients. They needed a strategic marketing approach to increase brand awareness, generate qualified leads, and drive clinic growth.

The Solution

Performance Marketing Strategy:

Ark Surgical Practice partnered with a performance marketing agency to launch a comprehensive campaign leveraging Google Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and social media assets.

  • Google SEM Paid Ads: Targeted paid advertising campaigns focused on keywords related to colonoscopy, hemorrhoids/piles, colorectal cancer, and anal fistula treatments, which were identified together with the Doctor as potentially leading to more complex procedures. These campaigns aimed to reach potential patients actively searching for these services.
  • Social Media Content Marketing: Engaging video and photo content was created for Dr. Chong. These assets addressed common colorectal-related lifestyle topics and debunked myths. This content served a dual purpose:
    Patient education: Providing informative content on relevant topics built trust and established Dr. Chong’s expertise.
  • Performance Max (PMax) Creatives: The videos and photos served as high-quality visual elements for Google’s PMax campaigns, further enhancing engagement and ad performance.
The Results:

The Google SEM paid ads campaign delivered consistent results, generating a steady stream of form submissions and recorded phone calls within the year. In total, the campaign yielded:

  • 393% increase in total conversions YoY
  • 182% increase in website traffic

This consistent lead flow translated into business growth. Over the past 1.5 years, Ark Surgical Practice has expanded from one clinic to three locations across Singapore: Mt. Elizabeth Orchard, Mt. Elizabeth Novena, and Mt. Alvernia.

Key Takeaways:

This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of a well-executed performance marketing strategy in achieving business objectives. By combining targeted paid advertising with engaging social media content, Ark Surgical Practice successfully reached their target audience, established Dr. Chong’s expertise, and ultimately fueled clinic growth.

Additionally:
  • This case study highlights the importance of a data-driven approach. Tracking results like form submissions and phone calls allowed for performance optimization and ensured the campaign delivered a consistent flow of leads.
  • The collaboration between Dr. Chong’s expertise and the marketing team’s creativity resulted in valuable social media content that not only educated patients but also served as compelling ad creatives.

 

By implementing a similar performance marketing strategy, other healthcare professionals can attract new patients, build trust within their community, and drive sustainable clinic growth.

Newlife Dental Practice

How strategic lead management turned strong Ad performance into a 250% appointment lift

Overview

HOD launched and managed Google Ads and Meta Ads for Newlife Dental to promote its Ultra Short Dental Implant service. The campaigns quickly produced a steady volume of qualified leads, confirming strong market demand. However, appointment numbers did not rise at the same pace.

During the first five to six months, the clinic generated high lead volume but averaged only 6 to 9 implant consultations per month. The gap between digital performance and on-ground appointments became the key obstacle to growth.

The Challenge:

High lead volume but low conversion

Even with healthy ad performance, Newlife Dental encountered several issues that limited appointment outcomes.

1. Insufficient on-ground appointments
Despite receiving many implant inquiries, only 6 to 9 consultations were booked each month. The conversion rate from lead to visit remained well below industry benchmarks.

2. Drop-off during follow-up
Most prospects responded initially, but engagement faltered once pricing was shared. Many leads stopped replying after receiving cost details, creating a steep drop in the funnel.

3. No structured lead nurturing system
A detailed CRM review revealed that follow-up was inconsistent. Many leads were contacted only once, which is not aligned with best practices for Meta and Google leads. Without a clear, step-by-step nurturing process, strong ad performance did not translate into clinic visits.

The Solution:

SEM & FACEBOOK

1. Full audit of the follow-up process
We zoomed in on the entire lead flow to identify friction points. The main roadblock appeared when potential patients asked for implant pricing. Many ghosted after receiving the number, which caused a steep falloff.

2. Implementation of a complete lead handling framework
HOD built a structured, multi-touch follow-up system with defined contact intervals, clear messaging sequences, and repeated re-engagement points. This framework tightened response consistency, reduced lead drop-off, and improved the conversion of digital enquiries into confirmed clinic visits.

  • Immediate first response to capture interest during peak intent.
  • Same-day secondary contact to re-engage non-responsive leads.
  • Scheduled reminders on Day 2 and Day 5 to prompt action with clear value messaging.
  • Weekly nurture cycles combine reminders, incentives, and educational content to build trust.
  • Automated no-show recovery steps to bring missed appointments back into the funnel
  • This brought consistency and speed to the clinic’s response strategy.

3. Behaviour-driven incentive strategy
Insights from discussions with Dr Aaron and the on-ground team showed that many leads paused at the pricing stage. To re-engage them, we recommended offering value-based incentives such as:

  • First-visit fee rebate
  • Consultation add-ons

These incentives encouraged hesitant prospects to complete their clinic visit rather than drop off.

Results

The structured follow-up framework and incentive strategy had an immediate, measurable impact on appointment conversions.

 

Before optimisation, Newlife Dental averaged 6 implant consultations per month, despite strong lead volume from Google and Meta campaigns. After implementing the new multi-touch nurturing system and a value-driven re-engagement flow, the clinic saw a steady increase in confirmed visits.

 

The optimised process delivered:

 

  • Faster response times, reducing drop-offs at the initial enquiry stage
  • Higher re-engagement rates, especially among prospects who previously stopped replying after asking for a price
  • More prospects completing the clinic visit, driven by incentives and clearer communication
  • A stable appointment pipeline, with conversions improving across every stage of the funnel

Leading Women's Health Clinic

The Challenge:

A women’s health clinic has developed a reputation for being a caring and compassionate private institution, who lends a listening ear to their patients, and treats their patients with care, precision, and privacy. That said, their ethos towards personalised and private healthcare can only go so far if no one trusts them.

The Solution

The clinic had to navigate a range of sensitive keywords and topics, and so to ensure continual uptime of the campaigns, campaigns were run to dedicated landing pages for each service. The campaigns also gradually moved towards a target CPA strategy to maximise the number of conversions for the fixed budget. The clinic also diversified the campaign into chinese language keyword as they were less competitive, to keep the cost per conversions more efficient.

The Outcome

+210%

Increase in consultations

-33%

Reduction in cost per conversion

Oxford Spine & Neuroscience

The Challenge:

Oxford Spine & Neurosurgery Centre (OSN) is dedicated to providing high standards of patient care and are well-versed in the treatment and management of complex spinal issues, including tumours and fractures. They recently opened their third clinic and needed to grow their revenue fast to support their ambitious expansion plans. 

The Solution

With a limited budget and ambitious timeline, OSN had to generate demand for their clinic, and also maintain the high quality of the leads. They were able to achieve this by complementing their Search campaigns with Performance Max campaigns, and also by split testing different automated bidding strategies in their Search campaign.

 

Partnering with Heroes of Digital: Heroes of Digital worked with OSN to ensure that a variety of touch points were available and tracked as conversions, and ensured that proper testing was carried out to keep the campaigns optimal and performing as efficiently as possible.

The Outcome

+150%
