- Locals who don’t need private medical care

- Your goal is to reach large-scale UK patients looking for treatments that you provide

For instance, an AI tool could find out that women aged 30 to 45 in London looking for affordable Rhinoplasty outside of the UK’ are converting at three times the rate of average. It will alter the budget and target according to the results..
Mistake #2: Slow or Missed Lead Follow-Up
The Problem
You get a lead at 9:45pm on your website. Your coordinator isn’t aware of it until the following day.
What happens next? The patient is booked elsewhere.
It can be one of the more frequently made and costly errors hospitals make. Research has shown it is the first person who responds to a query from a patient gets 50% of the appointments.

A lot of clinics depend on stock images or treatment descriptions copied from other websites, and blogs that are no longer relevant. The generic content:
- It doesn’t have a place on Google
- Patients are not engaged

Many clinics establish the monthly budget for advertising and let campaigns go on with very little or no optimization. Result?
- Your Google Ads might be focusing on keywords with high costs but very low conversion rates
- Your Facebook ads might be targeting the wrong people

Mistake #5: Not Nurturing Leads After First Contact
The Problem

You continue.
Big mistake. Most patients need 5-7 touchpoints before booking. Failure to keep in touch with them consistently as well as strategically means you’re losing customers who are in the right place — but just perhaps not at the moment.
How AI Solves It
AI automates and personalizes following-up processes through:
- WhatsApp drip-campaigns
- Individualised emails flow in response to the interests of patients

- A WhatsApp message 24 hours later with FAQs
- A video testimonial email within 5 days.
- Retargeting Instagram advertisement that offers a free consultation for 7 days after the first
