Healthcare marketing agency, run by a doctor-turned-marketer.

Google and Meta advertising for private medical clinics. We start where patients book in and work backwards, so your budget is judged on appointments, not clicks.

40+ doctor-led clinics and hospitals
Only healthcare, for over six years
Partners who’ve stayed 5+ years

KeCatalyst only works in healthcare. We’ve supported more than 60 healthcare businesses, over 40 of them private medical and surgical clinics, from single-doctor practices to Battersea Hospital and Harley Street Fertility Clinic. Several have been with us for over five years.

We judge our work on one thing: how many new patients book in. Clicks, leads and “conversions” only matter if they get you there.

“They’ve got such great knowledge about the industry, and it helped me reason through what I needed to do next. It has been brilliant for my business.”
Dr Nikki Ramskill, The Female Health Doctor

We start at the booking and work backwards.

More traffic only helps once a clinic can convert it. So this is the order we fix things in.

1
Enquiries into bookings
A CRM, a clear lead-handling process, a team trained to book people in, and tracking that counts bookings rather than button clicks.
2
Website visits into enquiries
Clear pricing, more than one way to get in touch, and a decision on which services are worth growing.
3
The right people to the website
Google Ads built on high-intent searches, Meta where it earns its place, and weekly changes based on what books.

Dr Tiarnan McKeever seated beside a microphone in a studio

I started KeCatalyst at medical school.

I was writing copy and running ads for healthcare businesses in my first year. By the time I graduated, it was what I wanted to do full time.

Healthcare isn’t short of good ideas or good clinicians. It’s often short of the commercial systems that get them in front of the people who need them. That’s the part we do.
