The Real Reason Google Ads Fail for Healthcare

Summary: Most healthcare ads fail not because of budget — but because of poor intent targeting.

Problem: Clinics target broad keywords like “skin care” instead of high-intent ones like “acne specialist near me”.

Solution: Shift 70% of budget to high-intent, location-focused keywords.

Comparison:

  • Broad keywords → expensive + low conversions
  • Interest keywords → unpredictable
  • High-intent keywords → consistent patient inquiries

Actionable Recommendation: Use keyword match types like “exact match” for medical intent.

Summary Insight: Intent targeting decreases cost and increases qualified patients.
