Not a generalist digital agency. Not a healthcare IT company.

Digital marketing for doctors
built by people who only work in healthcare.

ICG has never taken a non-healthcare client. Not one. Every campaign, every framework, every tool — built for healthcare, tested in healthcare, refined across 150+ active healthcare accounts since 2018. This is not a healthcare division of a generalist agency. This is all we do.

What "specialist" actually means in practice

Generalist digital agency
vs ICG, healthcare-only.

Generalist digital agency

Healthcare is one vertical among twenty
NMC compliance learned after the first disapproval
Landing pages adapted from e-commerce templates
CPQL is not in their vocabulary — they report CPL
WhatsApp response system: "we'll let your team handle that"

ICG — healthcare only

100% of clients are healthcare. Since 2018. Always.
NMC, Google Health, Meta healthcare policy: operational knowledge
OHMRC landing pages: 18–28% conversion vs 8–14% generic
CPQL-optimised from Day 1 — never CPL
4-Bot AI: 60-second WhatsApp response, 24/7, 8.6× booking uplift

Why doctors need a specialist agency

Doctors trade time for outcome.
Marketing should too.

A doctor's practice runs on a fixed clinical inventory — appointment slots in a day, theatre slots in a month. Marketing that does not respect this inventory wastes spend on the wrong patients. ICG builds digital marketing systems calibrated to a doctor's actual clinical capacity, conversion economics, and treatment lifecycle.

Every doctor working with ICG gets the same infrastructure that 150+ healthcare brands across India already run on — 30+ real-time alert systems, CPQL benchmark data by specialty, the 4-bot AI patient lifecycle, and HealthPro 360 PMS for those who want practice management plus marketing in one stack. ICG was founded in 2018 by IIT BHU + IIM graduates, and we work exclusively in healthcare.

CPQL benchmarks · ICG vs market

38–58% lower CPQL
in 90 days. Across every specialty.

Most digital marketing agency for doctors pitches sell on CPL. ICG sells on CPQL — Cost Per Qualified Lead — the cost of a lead that actually shows up for a consultation. The difference is often 3–4×. Here is what our 150+ healthcare clients actually pay.

Specialty	Market avg CPQL	ICG avg CPQL	ICG reduction
IVF & Fertility	₹2,400	₹1,180	−51%
Aesthetic Dermatology	₹1,950	₹1,020	−48%
Plastic Surgery	₹3,600	₹2,050	−43%
Hair Transplant	₹4,300	₹2,280	−47%
Ophthalmology (LASIK / cataract)	₹1,700	₹720	−58%
Mental Health (psychiatry / therapy)	₹2,200	₹1,310	−40%
Dental (chains)	₹980	₹540	−45%

90-day averages from ICG's live portfolio across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and tier-2 cities. Adjust for city: metro CPQLs run 20–35% higher than tier-2 across all specialties.

The team behind your account

Every diagnostic is led by a founder.
You'll know their names before the engagement begins.

ICG was built by three IIT BHU engineers who entered healthcare marketing with a specific intent: to build the tools that didn't exist and run the campaigns that most agencies couldn't. When you book a diagnostic, Rohit or Abhash leads it personally. Not an account manager. Not a senior executive. The people who built what you're evaluating.

The ICG team — 60+ healthcare marketing specialists at Gurgaon HQ

60+ specialists.
One growth engine.

Performance marketers, analysts, AI engineers, content strategists, and operations specialists — all healthcare-only. Headquartered in Gurgaon since 2018.

Rohit Gupta

Rohit's first question in every diagnostic: "When you ask your agency why patients aren't booking — what do they say?" He says the answer tells him more than any dashboard.

Abhash Kumar

Abhash built Beacon because most agencies couldn't answer one question: "Which of my campaigns generated that consultation?" He decided the problem was solvable in code. It was.

Frequently asked

About digital marketing
for doctors.

ICG runs Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, AEO/LLM optimisation, plus AI-powered patient lifecycle systems for doctors and specialist consultants across India. We work exclusively in healthcare. Active doctor client portfolio across IVF specialists, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, and consultant physicians.

ICG works with doctors whose practice has an active marketing spend of ₹1 lakh per month or more. This usually means established single-doctor practices with full appointment books that want to scale to a multi-doctor or multi-location structure, plus multi-doctor specialty practices and hospital groups.

Doctor marketing requires the doctor's personal brand to be part of the system, not just the clinic name. Patients increasingly research the doctor before the clinic. AEO citations, doctor authority content on YouTube, doctor profile pages with strong SEO, and patient education materials that carry the doctor's voice all become essential. ICG builds this as part of the engagement.

Across ICG's doctor client base, average CPQL reduction in the first 90 days ranges from 38% to 58%. IVF specialists from ₹2,200 to ₹1,120. Dermatologists from ₹1,800 to ₹980. Ophthalmologists up to 58% reduction. Hair transplant surgeons from ₹4,100 to ₹2,200. Results depend on specialty, existing infrastructure, and competitive context.

The first step is a complimentary 30-minute Brand and Growth Diagnostic. ICG maps your current growth architecture, identifies the root causes of underperformance, and outlines a solution architecture, before proposing any engagement or quoting any fee. Book at ichelonconsulting.com/book or email contact@ichelonconsulting.com.
