TL;DR
Instagram is where IVF patients discover fertility doctors and clinics — not where they book. The distinction matters enormously for how you use the platform. Instagram builds awareness, trust, and preference. WhatsApp closes. Instagram that tries to close produces poor results. Instagram designed to warm and qualify — and then direct to WhatsApp — produces excellent ones.

The IVF Instagram Content Mix
ICG's IVF Instagram content calendar follows a 40/35/25 split:
40% — Educational content (TOFU) What it is: Doctor explains a condition, procedure, or treatment in plain language. Format: Reels (45–90 seconds), carousel slides, infographics. Example: "Dr. [Name] explains: What does low AMH actually mean for your fertility?" Purpose: Reach — these get recommended to non-followers. Build topical authority in the algorithm. NMC: No claims, no outcomes. Pure education.
35% — Trust and credibility content (MOFU) What it is: Patient stories (consenting), behind-the-scenes, doctor backgrounds, team culture. Format: Reels, static posts. Example: "A day in our fertility lab" or "What Dr. [Name] reads every morning for clinical updates" Purpose: Differentiate — make the clinic and doctor feel real and trustworthy. NMC: Patient stories framed as "individual experience." No outcome implications.
25% — Conversion content (BOFU) What it is: Consultation offers, process explainers ("What happens at your first fertility consultation"), EMI messaging. Format: Static post or short Reel with WhatsApp CTA. Purpose: Convert warm followers who are ready to act. NMC: Accurate pricing, no guarantees, compliant CTA.
