Ask us on a call

How is Velocity different from a healthcare marketing agency?

Healthcare marketing agencies typically focus on branding and awareness. Velocity focuses on patient acquisition systems: building the multilingual SEO infrastructure, geo-targeted campaigns, CRM automation, and analytics that drive measurable patient volume. Our team comes from high-growth companies where performance was measured in revenue, not impressions.

Working with us

How much does a medical tourism growth engagement cost?

It depends on what you need, so it is agreed on a call once we understand the problem.

What results can we expect in the first 90 days?

In the first 90 days, you can expect improved inquiry volume from targeted campaigns, better inquiry-to-consultation conversion rates through CRM automation, and a clear data-driven understanding of which source markets and procedures deliver the best ROI. SEO builds over 3-6 months but creates compounding organic traffic.

Can we start with a single source market?

Absolutely. We recommend starting with your highest-potential source market, proving the acquisition model, and then expanding to additional markets systematically. This approach reduces risk and allows you to learn what works before scaling spend across multiple geographies.

Medical Tourism specifics

Which source markets do you specialize in?

We have experience running campaigns targeting patients from GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain), CIS countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan), Africa (Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia), and South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh). We can also help you explore emerging markets based on your specialty and competitive positioning.

Do you handle multilingual content creation?

Yes. We create and optimize content in Arabic, Russian, French, and other languages relevant to your source markets. This includes procedure landing pages, ad copy, email sequences, and trust content. All content is reviewed by native speakers to ensure medical accuracy and cultural appropriateness.

How do you ensure compliance with healthcare marketing regulations?

We are not a legal or regulatory advisor, but we understand healthcare marketing guidelines in the UAE and ensure all content and campaigns comply with DHA, DOH, and MOHAP regulations. We work closely with your compliance team to review all materials before publication. We also follow platform-specific healthcare advertising policies on Google and Meta.

Can you help us build relationships with medical tourism facilitators?

Yes. We help identify, evaluate, and onboard medical tourism facilitators in your target source markets. We set up tracking systems so you can measure which facilitators deliver quality patients and manage the relationship efficiently. We also help design co-marketing programs that benefit both parties.

What platforms work best for medical tourism marketing?

Google Search is typically the highest-performing channel for procedure-specific queries. Facebook and Instagram work well for awareness and retargeting, especially in African and South Asian markets. Yandex is essential for Russian-speaking markets. YouTube is powerful for trust-building through doctor videos and patient testimonials. The right mix depends on your specialty and source markets.

How do you measure success for a medical tourism engagement?

We define KPIs at the start based on your patient volume targets. Common metrics include cost per inquiry, inquiry-to-consultation conversion rate, consultation-to-booking conversion rate, cost per booked patient, revenue per patient by source market and procedure, and organic search rankings for priority keywords. We report weekly and review strategy monthly.
