For doctors who've tried marketing that didn't work the way it should.

You built the practice.
The marketing should be working harder.

Most doctors we speak to aren't failing at marketing. They're succeeding at the wrong metrics — leads that don't show up, reports that don't answer real questions, agencies that are busy but not accountable.

ICG is India's only medical marketing agency built to find your specific version of this problem — before proposing anything.

What brings most doctors here

Here is what you are probably experiencing
right now. Tell us if we're wrong.

Your agency is running. Campaigns are live. Reports arrive on time.
And yet — the OPD isn't filling the way the numbers suggest it should.

The leads report says 200 leads last month. But your front desk says most of them were the wrong kind of people, unreachable numbers, or enquiries that went cold before anyone could follow up.

You ask the agency. They say the ads are performing well. You look at the dashboard. You don't entirely understand what you're looking at. And somewhere in that gap — between the campaign that is "working" and the practice that isn't growing the way it should — you start wondering if it's you, or them, or something else entirely.

It's not you.

In almost every case, the problem is one of four specific things. And the only way to know which one is yours is a diagnostic — not another proposal.

Root cause 01

Wrong metric being optimised

Your agency minimises CPL — cost per lead, meaning any form fill or WhatsApp message. ICG optimises CPQL — cost per patient who actually books a consultation. ₹200 CPL often hides ₹3,800 effective CPQL. These are very different numbers. Most agencies don't distinguish them.

Root cause 02

The 6-hour response window

A patient who messages your clinic at 8pm books with whoever responds first. Most clinic WhatsApp systems are checked manually during office hours. That's not a leads problem. That's a response architecture problem. The campaign did its job. The infrastructure didn't.

Root cause 03

Generic landing pages

One "IVF services" page for every IVF search query. A patient searching "IVF cost for low AMH age 36" lands on a page that says nothing specific to their situation. They leave in 8 seconds. The campaign counted it as a bounce. No one told you.

Root cause 04

No attribution connecting ads to consultations

Your agency cannot tell you which specific ad generated which consultation. So they optimise for what they can see — impressions, clicks, CPL. And they report on that, confidently, every month. The connection between ad spend and actual revenue stays invisible.

ICG's first job is to identify which of these four is yours. That's what the diagnostic is for. Book it free — 30 minutes →

What changed for doctors who came to us

Three doctors.
Three versions of the same problem.

These are anonymised. Full case studies — with named clients and verified numbers — are available during a Brand and Growth Diagnostic.

"The leads were coming in. The consultations weren't."

Situation IVF clinic, Delhi NCR. ₹2.8 lakh/month in ad spend. 280 leads/month. 11 consultations. No one could explain the gap.

What ICG found 73% of leads received their first WhatsApp response after 6 hours. The clinic's WhatsApp was checked manually, during office hours only. By the time they replied, the patient had already messaged two competitors.

What changed 4-Bot AI response system live within 14 days. 60-second response, 24 hours, 7 days. Consultations: 11 → 44 in 90 days. Same ad spend. Different infrastructure.

"My agency said everything was fine. My P&L disagreed."

Situation 3-location dermatology chain. ₹1.6 lakh/month. CPL of ₹280 — looked good on paper. Conversions not matching the volume.

What ICG found That ₹280 CPL was generating ₹2,400 effective CPQL. 88% of form-fills were non-patients, wrong numbers, or enquiries from cities the clinic didn't serve. The CPL looked healthy because junk is cheap to generate.

What changed CPQL-optimised campaign architecture. Negative keyword library rebuilt. OHMRC landing pages per procedure. Effective CPQL: ₹2,400 → ₹980 in 60 days.

"I had 46 clinics and no way to know which ones were actually working."

Situation 46-centre hair and skin chain, pan-India. 46 different CPQLs — ranging from ₹620 to ₹3,800 for the same procedure, across different cities. No single view of performance across the network.

What ICG found No attribution layer connecting ad spend to actual consultation bookings. Each centre reported independently, inconsistently. Head office could not identify which centres were bleeding and why.

What changed Phoenix revenue intelligence + Beacon attribution deployed across all 46 centres simultaneously. CPQL range: ₹620–₹3,800 → ₹680–₹1,420. One dashboard. All 46 centres. Updated daily.

What ICG clients actually pay · Live portfolio data

The numbers.
Not projections. From active accounts.

Every figure below is the median across active ICG accounts in that specialty. Not our best result. Not a cherry-picked case. The median.

Specialty	Market average CPQL	ICG median CPQL	Reduction
IVF & Fertility	₹2,280	₹1,120	−51%
Dermatology & Aesthetics	₹1,950	₹980	−50%
Hair Transplant	₹4,300	₹1,840	−57%
Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery	₹3,600	₹2,050	−43%
Ophthalmology (LASIK/Cataract)	₹1,700	₹720	−58%
Dental Chains	₹980	₹540	−44%
Mental Health	₹2,200	₹1,310	−40%

CPQL = Cost Per Qualified Lead — a patient who books a consultation, not just submits a form or sends a WhatsApp message. The industry typically reports CPL (cost per lead — any enquiry, qualified or not). ICG never does. This is partly why our numbers look different from what other agencies quote.

→ What is your current CPQL? If you don't know — or if your agency has never shown you this number — the diagnostic will calculate it for you. Free. 30 minutes. →

The first step

Before you decide anything,
find out what's actually wrong.

The Brand & Growth Diagnostic is a 30-minute session with Rohit or Abhash — not an account manager, the founders — where ICG maps exactly what is causing your specific version of this problem.

📋

You leave with a written document

Not a proposal. A diagnosis. What the root cause is. What the fix looks like. What you'd need to change and in what order.

💬

Then you decide

Whether ICG is the right team for the fix. No commitment during or after the diagnostic. No package being sold in the session.

🩺

Why we do this first

ICG operates on "diagnosis before prescription. Always." For exactly the same reason a good doctor does — because the treatment depends entirely on what is actually wrong.

"I had been to three other agencies before ICG. The difference was that they started by asking what was wrong — not by telling me what they'd sell me."

— Dr. Nishi Singh, Founder, Prime IVF · Gurgaon

💬 WhatsApp — book the diagnostic Or schedule online →

The diagnostic is complimentary. ICG runs it for practices with active marketing spend of ₹1 lakh/month or more. We respond to all WhatsApp enquiries within 4 business hours.

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.

Frequently asked

About a medical marketing
agency in India.

ICG runs Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, AEO/LLM optimisation, and AI-powered patient lifecycle systems for medical practices across India. We work exclusively in healthcare. Active client portfolio spans clinics, hospitals, IVF centres, dermatology and aesthetic practices, dental groups, ophthalmology, and diagnostic chains. 150+ medical brands served.

See the benchmark table above for median CPQLs by specialty. The short version: 38–58% reduction in the first 90 days is the median across ICG accounts. IVF practices ₹2,200 → ₹1,120. Dermatology ₹1,800 → ₹980. The specific number for your specialty and city is something the diagnostic will give you.

Medical marketing operates inside regulatory boundaries that consumer marketing doesn't — NMC/MCI guidelines, no false outcome claims, sensitivity to patient anxiety, no manipulative urgency tactics. Every ICG creative for a medical client passes clinical review before it goes live. Zero ad account suspensions across 150+ clients in 2025.

ICG works primarily with practices that have active marketing spend of ₹1 lakh/month or more. This typically means established single-clinic practices with full appointment books, multi-location chains, and hospital groups. Solo practitioners just starting out are usually too early-stage for ICG's engagement model.
