Healthcare Digital Marketing Agency in India
ICG (Ichelon Consulting Group) is India's specialist healthcare digital marketing agency, running fully-digital growth engines for 150+ healthcare brands since 2018. We do Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, AEO + LLM optimisation, YouTube marketing, WhatsApp lifecycle automation, and AI patient lifecycle systems — across IVF, dermatology, plastic surgery, hospitals, hair transplant, ophthalmology, dental, and bariatric surgery verticals. CPQL-first measurement. NMC + ad-platform compliance. 38–58% average CPQL reduction in the first 90 days.
Digital is the entire healthcare patient journey now.
Indian healthcare patients now consume 4–8 months of digital research before booking specialty consultations. Google, YouTube, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Instagram — all play roles in the modern patient journey. Healthcare digital marketing that doesn't cover the full stack (paid + organic + AI search + WhatsApp + content) misses critical moments. ICG runs the full stack, integrated, under one team.

No comparative claims without published data. Patient testimonials require DPDP consent. Advertising must match the specialist's registered scope.
