Certified by Google

You will work with a MedForward Consultant certified by Google. MedForward's expert team helps you target your core demographics and bring otherwise hard-to-reach visitors to your website.

How it works

Your advertisement appears on internet searches made by potential new patients. On Google searches, advertisements appear in the right column and occasionally in the shaded box on top of organic listings. These ads are specific to a keyword and direct a user to a specific part of the website.

The online advertising campaign is more effective than radio, TV, phone book, or print advertising because it targets only the web users in a pre-defined nearby geographic area who are actively searching for terms related to your practice. Unlike radio, TV, or print advertisements, you don't pay based on the number of impressions or the cost of distribution. You only pay for visitors that click on your ad and reach your website.

How much for each click

The price for each click is based on the competitiveness of the search term. In many cities, there is very high competition for popular terms. This means that your advertisement won't appear for every user that searches for one of the keywords, depending on an algorithm that detects how much money you have spent (how many clicks you have received) relative to a monthly budget that you decide on in advance.

Protecting your investment from click fraud

Google & Microsoft have advanced tools in place to detect and prevent campaign fraud, so that competitors cannot repeatedly click on your advertisement to reduce the effectiveness of your ad campaign. If detected, Google & Microsoft will refund your campaign budget so you achieve a high return on investment for your marketing budget without worry.
