Every paid channel, run by healthcare specialists

We manage your entire paid media mix, search, social, and display, built with HIPAA in mind and aimed at booked appointments from the start.

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)

Reach prospective patients where they spend their time. We build HIPAA-aware Meta campaigns that build brand awareness, retarget site visitors, and capture new patient leads through compelling creative.

  • ✓ HIPAA-aware audiences with no condition-based targeting
  • ✓ Custom and lookalike audiences built without PHI
  • ✓ Scroll-stopping creative designed for healthcare audiences
  • ✓ Retargeting sequences for site visitors and video viewers

Display & YouTube Ads

Build top-of-funnel awareness and stay top-of-mind throughout the patient research journey. Display and video ads amplify your search strategy by reaching patients before they're ready to book.

  • ✓ Specialty-based contextual placements
  • ✓ YouTube pre-roll and in-feed video placements
  • ✓ Remarketing across Google's display network
  • ✓ Brand-safe placements only, no inappropriate adjacency

The right ad type for every patient touchpoint

We deploy the right format for each stage of the patient journey, from first awareness to appointment booking, with HIPAA-aware tracking at every step.

Google Search Ads

Capture patients actively searching for your specialty, with ad copy aimed at booked appointments.

Local Services Ads

Show up in Google's Local Services Ads once your practice passes Google's healthcare screening: NPI, license, insurance, and background checks. Healthcare providers carried the Google Screened badge, not Google Guaranteed, and Google now shows a single Google Verified badge.

Google Maps Ads

Show up in map results in your service area when patients search "specialist near me" or browse map listings for your specialty.

Display Retargeting

Re-engage website visitors across millions of sites as they continue their search, keeping your practice top-of-mind until they book.

YouTube Video Ads

Build trust with prospective patients through video, provider spotlights, and practice tours.

Meta Lead Ads

Capture appointment requests directly inside Facebook and Instagram without requiring users to leave the app, frictionless lead generation at scale.

Built with HIPAA in mind

There is no condition-based targeting, PHI stays out of ad platforms, and we sign a BAA where PHI is involved. Our team watches the platform policy changes that affect healthcare advertisers so your campaigns stay live and within platform rules.

FAQ

Healthcare paid ads, answered

How Catalyze Care runs HIPAA-aware paid campaigns for healthcare practices: platforms, tracking, and monthly reporting.

How do Catalyze Care paid ads work for healthcare practices?

We audit your ad history, competitor ads and landing pages, website conversion path, and target patient demographics, then build HIPAA-aware Google Ads, Meta Ads, and Display campaigns aimed at booked appointments rather than clicks alone.

How do you handle HIPAA on paid campaigns?

We build every campaign with HIPAA in mind. There is no condition-based targeting, PHI stays out of ad platforms, and we sign a BAA where PHI is involved. We also watch the platform policy changes that affect healthcare advertisers.

Which ad platforms do you manage?

Google Search, Local Services Ads, Performance Max, Google Maps Ads, Display retargeting, YouTube, and Meta (Facebook and Instagram), including lead ads and retargeting sequences.

How quickly can campaigns go live?

The process is built to launch live campaigns in about 30 days from kickoff: audit and discovery, strategy and build, then launch with close monitoring and ongoing optimization.

How does paid ads pricing work?

Management is billed separately from ad spend. Ad spend goes directly to the platforms. Google Ads management and Meta Ads management are listed below, and a free 30-minute audit call is available if you are not sure where to start.

When should a practice pause paid ads?

Pause paid ads when intake cannot book the next new patient in a time you will honor, when a platform policy or disapproval blocks the campaign, or when a license or payer change means the landing page no longer matches who you take. Management is $2,500/month plus media. Longer guide: when to pause paid ads vs SEO vs referral.

How should healthcare ads handle remarketing and audience exclusions?

Build audiences from public pages that do not name a diagnosis in the URL. Exclude converters you can identify without PHI, staff traffic, and condition signals. Management is $2,500/month plus media. We do not publish a CPC. Longer guide: HIPAA-safe remarketing and audience exclusions for healthcare ads.
