Google Ads success story · Clinic network
How Dermapure turned more leads into more patients, with 210% more conversion value.
Leads were up 550% and revenue had not moved. Dermapure rebuilt its measurement so Google could see which inquiries became paying patients, and then asked it to find more of those.

The challenge.
Dermapure had a problem most clinics would envy at first glance: leads were up 550%. But revenue had not grown at all.
The campaigns were rewarded for form submissions, so they delivered more form submissions. Nothing told Google which of those people booked, showed up and spent money, so it could not tell a future patient from a casual click.

- Value sent to GoogleA 12-month expected value for every prospect.
- Bidding follows valueMore budget for people likely to become patients.
What they did.
Enhanced conversions for leads · Offline conversion imports from the CRM · Value-based bidding
- Matched leads to real patients
- Enhanced conversions for leads and imports from the clinic’s CRM connected each online inquiry to what happened after it.
- Gave every prospect a value
- Google’s AI estimated what each prospect was likely to be worth over 12 months, so a likely long-term patient counted for more than a one-off inquiry.
- Bid on value, not volume
- Value-based bidding with target return on ad spend replaced the push for more leads, with CRM results flowing back continuously.
Why it worked.
Our read on the decisions behind the numbers, and what any business can take from them.
- The algorithm got the right target
- Google’s bidding is very good at finding more of whatever it is told to count. Counting patients instead of forms changed who it looked for.
- Value beat volume
- Some patients are worth far more than others. Bidding on expected value put the budget behind them.
- The data kept flowing
- Results kept flowing back from the CRM, so the campaigns kept learning as the clinic’s patients changed.
How we would run this play for your business.
You do not need a national budget to use the same ideas. This is how Overtop Media Digital Marketing puts them to work in our google ads management.
- Close the loop with your practice system
- We connect your booking or practice management data so Google sees which inquiries became patients, using the tracking setup we build for every lead-driven account.
- Value each new patient
- Our team sets conversion values that reflect what a new patient is really worth to your practice, so bidding chases revenue instead of form counts.
- Search where patients decide
- Patients searching for a treatment near them are the warmest audience there is. Our Google Search ads work is built around them.
- Watch quality every week
- We report show rates, new patients and cost per patient, not just lead counts.
Who this play fits.
You do not have to be a clinic network to use the same approach. It is a strong fit for:
- Medical spas and aesthetic clinics
- Dental, dermatology and specialty practices
- Multi-location clinic groups
- Any business with lots of leads and flat revenue
We run plays like this for every industry we serve.
