How far around Big Sandy can you target with Google Ads?

As far as makes sense for your practice. Most medical offices pull patients from a 15- to 30-mile radius. We can target by zip code, city, or a custom radius around your office. If patients are driving in from Longview or Mineola, we'll include those areas.

Can you run ads for specific medical services like physicals or urgent care?

Yes, and that's usually the better approach. Running one generic "doctor in Big Sandy" ad wastes budget. We build separate campaigns around specific services — wellness exams, chronic disease management, pediatric visits — so each ad speaks directly to what the patient is searching for.

What if I already have a Google Ads account that isn't working?

We'll audit it first. Most of the time the bones are there but the targeting is too broad, the negative keyword list is empty, and nobody's looked at the search terms report in months. We can take over an existing account — no need to start from scratch.

How quickly will I see new patients from Google Ads?

Ads can start showing the same day a campaign goes live. Calls and appointment requests usually start within the first week or two. The first month is about gathering data and refining. By month two, we have a clear picture of what's working and your cost per new patient inquiry.

Do I need a new website before running ads?

Not necessarily, but your website needs to do its job. If patients click your ad and land on a page with no online scheduling, no insurance info, and no way to contact you easily, you'll pay for clicks that never convert. We can build landing pages as part of the campaign if your current site isn't set up for it.

Google Ads Management for Medical Practices in Big Sandy

A single wasted click on Google Ads can cost a medical practice $15 to $50 — and most of those clicks aren't even from people looking for a doctor. If you're running ads without somebody watching the account daily, you're funding Google's bottom line, not yours.

Small Town Practice, Big Advertising Problem

Big Sandy has around 1,450 people. That's not a huge patient pool on its own. So when you run Google Ads, you need every dollar aimed at folks in surrounding areas — Gilmer, Hawkins, Gladewater, Mineola — who are actively searching for medical care and willing to drive.

The problem? Google's default settings don't care about your geography. They'll show your ads to people in Dallas, Shreveport, wherever. And you'll pay for every click. A family practice or specialty clinic in Big Sandy can burn through a monthly budget in a week if the targeting is wrong.

That's where we come in. We set up campaigns that only reach the people who could actually walk through your door. And we watch the data — not once a month, not quarterly. Constantly.

What We Actually Do With Your Ad Account

1. **Keyword research specific to medical practices.** We find what patients in East Texas actually type into Google — things like "family doctor near me," "accepting new patients Big Sandy," or "walk-in clinic Upshur County." We also build a negative keyword list so you're not paying for clicks from people searching for medical billing jobs or nursing programs.

2. **Geographic and demographic targeting.** We draw a tight radius around Big Sandy and the surrounding communities. If someone in Houston clicks your ad, that's your money gone. We make sure that doesn't happen.

3. **Ad copy that matches patient intent.** Your ads mention what matters — whether you accept their insurance, if you're taking new patients, online scheduling, prescription refills. Not generic "quality care" language that sounds like every other practice.

4. **Landing pages that convert.** Sending ad traffic to your homepage is a waste. We point clicks to pages built around specific services — annual physicals, pediatric care, urgent visits — with a clear path to book an appointment.

5. **Weekly reporting you can actually read.** Cost per lead. Which keywords are working. Which ones we killed. No 30-page decks full of jargon.

Why This Works for Medical Practices Specifically

People searching for a doctor aren't browsing. They need care. That makes medical keywords some of the highest-intent searches on Google. Someone typing "doctor accepting new patients near Big Sandy" is ready to pick up the phone.

But high intent also means high cost per click. Other practices and urgent care chains are bidding on the same terms. Without proper management, you'll either overpay for clicks or get outbid entirely.

We keep your cost-per-lead down by adjusting bids daily, pausing underperforming keywords, and making sure your ads show during the hours your office can actually answer the phone. Google Ads management runs starting at $750/mo — and that's our management fee, separate from your ad spend. You control the budget. We control the strategy.
