Question 1

What is performance-based healthcare Facebook advertising?

Accepted Answer

It's Facebook and Instagram advertising where the agency is compensated per delivered patient instead of charging a monthly management fee. Our funnels require patients to pay a deposit before they become a lead, so every lead you receive has financially committed—which is why show rates run 90%+ instead of the 60-70% typical of Facebook instant lead forms.

Question 2

Does Facebook advertising still work for healthcare practices in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes—Meta remains the highest-volume patient acquisition channel for cash-pay healthcare services. What changed is that Meta restricted health-related targeting, so campaigns now win on creative and funnel quality rather than audience micro-targeting. That favors the pre-pay model, which qualifies patients with a payment instead of a targeting filter.

Question 3

How do you handle Meta's healthcare ad policies?

Accepted Answer

We build creative specifically for Meta's health and personal-attribute policies: no 'you' language implying health conditions, no prohibited before/after claims, and landing pages that pass review. Compliant creative isn't just about avoiding rejections—accounts with policy strikes pay more per result.

Question 4

What does performance-based Facebook advertising cost for a medical practice?

Accepted Answer

There's no management fee and no percentage of ad spend—$0 upfront to us. You cover ad spend, and our compensation is tied to the pre-paid patients delivered. On a free strategy call we'll give you projected cost per acquired patient for your treatment and market before anything launches.

Question 5

Why are Facebook leads so bad for medical offices, and how is this different?

Accepted Answer

Facebook's native instant lead forms auto-fill contact info, so people submit with two taps and zero commitment—then never answer the phone. Our funnel replaces the instant form with a landing page and a deposit payment. The two-tap tire-kickers filter themselves out, and Meta's algorithm learns from the payment events to find more people who commit.

Question 6

How fast do performance-based Facebook campaigns produce patients?

Accepted Answer

Most campaigns deliver their first pre-paid patients within the first 7-14 days of launch. Meta's learning phase optimizes over the first few weeks as purchase data accumulates, and volume typically stabilizes within the first month.
