How Goodwill Ads Agency Helps Telehealth Providers Connect with Patients Through Strategic Google Advertising

The healthcare landscape has fundamentally transformed. What once required a physical visit to a doctor’s office can now happen from the comfort of your living room. Telehealth adoption surged 3,800% during the pandemic and continues to grow, creating unprecedented opportunities for healthcare providers who know how to reach patients online.

But here’s the challenge: 95% of telehealth searches happen on Google, yet most healthcare providers are still advertising like it’s 2019. At Goodwill Ads Agency, we’ve helped telehealth providers capture over $50 million in patient value through strategic Google advertising, and we’re sharing our proven strategies with you.
