FAQs

Getting Started

Do you only work with doctors, or other healthcare businesses too?

We work across the healthcare spectrum. Our clients including hospitals, surgeons, health insurers and GPs.

Our surgical specialties cover areas like dermatology, oncology, orthopaedics, obstetrics, bariatric surgery, general surgery, plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, cardiovascular and vascular surgery.

We also work with AHPs such as dietitians, psychologists and physiotherapists as well as NDIS service providers.

If your field isn’t listed, get in touch.

We have worked with hundreds of health professionals over the years, and likely still have relevant experience.

Yes. While we have offices in Sydney and Melbourne, we work with healthcare practices across Australia, including regional areas, via video calls and remote collaboration and can also work with clients overseas.

How is DigiMed different from a general marketing agency?

Our team draws on the experience of health journalism, senior hospital marketing, AI, clinical healthcare and academia (media studies).

While most marketing agencies learn healthcare from a brief, we have hands-on experience learning from the inside of hospital boardrooms, clinical wards, lecture theatres and the newsrooms of Australia’s leading news organisations.

While a generalist agency can build you a website that looks pretty, it may not have heading structure compliant with Australian Standards accessibility guidelines, potentially creating a regulatory headache six months later.

We understand AHPRA advertising requirements, how patients search for care, and how to communicate clinical information clearly and with a strong focus on compliance.

We don’t publicise vague “vanity metrics”. But we show you the evidence when you ask, with clear monthly performance analytics, detailing month-on-month growth tracking.

Do you offer photography and video, or just written content?

Both. We have experienced news photographers and videographers who have frequently worked in government and private clinical environments.

We can shoot patient storytelling, theatre footage, condition and treatment videos as well as “how it works” explainer videos.

Consumers have moved well beyond a linear funnel when it comes to their viewing habits.

Research in 2026 confirms Australians already watch an average of 21.1 hours of online video a week, according to independent research commissioned by IAB Australia*, the peak industry body for digital advertising in Australia.

And as traditional TV viewing continues to decline, that share of attention keeps shifting further online.

Attention alone isn’t the whole story either.

It also matters where people place their trust.

In a survey of over 10,000 consumers*, Google and Boston Consulting Group found video content was rated 1.5x more attention-grabbing, 1.7x more relevant, and over twice as trustworthy as content on social platforms — the same qualities a patient is weighing when choosing where to seek care.

Al & SEO

What is your AI & SEO strategy?

We map how your audience searches, including how they use AI assistants and answer engines, not just traditional search.

Most of our builds are completed in one month upon sign-off, bigger sites over 20 pages within two.

Our annual plans include built-in post-launch support as well as monthly SEO and AI optimisation.

Do you handle SEO for AI search tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, or just traditional Google rankings?

Both. Traditional SEO still matters, but a growing share of healthcare queries are now being answered directly inside AI Overviews and AI assistants.

SGE (Search Generative Experience) or AI Overviews are all strategies we build into structure and content – so it’s more likely to be surfaced and cited by these tools.

Can you write and manage our Google Ads and Facebook Ads campaigns?

Yes. We manage both platforms for healthcare clients, with AHPRA-compliant ad copy and targeting strategies suited to specialty and location.

How do you measure and report on performance?

You’ll receive regular reporting covering rankings, conversions, website traffic, lead volume and ad performance (where applicable), along with plain-English commentary on what’s working and what we’re adjusting.

Do you charge separately for ad spend?

Yes. Management fees and ad spend are itemised separately so you always know exactly where your budget is going.

What content management system do you use for websites?

WordPress for many reasons including:

It’s the biggest player
WordPress is by far the most popular CMS for individual and small-to-mid-sized doctor and specialist websites, both in Australia and globally.
It’s generally accepted as the platform of choice for most web design and marketing agencies.
It’s also by far the most popular healthcare CMS among agencies serving this space.
WordPress powers nearly half of all websites on the internet overall, which is a big part of why it’s the default for medical practice sites too.

Cost and speed for small-to-mid practice sites
Doctors and specialists generally don’t need custom-built software, they need a professional site live quickly and affordably.
WordPress lets an agency spin up a polished, templated site without engineering a platform from scratch.

Client-editable after handover
Once the site launches, the practice’s own staff (a practice manager, for example) can update opening hours, add a new doctor bio, or swap a photo without calling the agency every time. That’s much harder with a custom-coded site.

The plugin ecosystem covers most of what a medical site needs
SEO plugins (Yoast, RankMath) handle a lot of the on-page optimisation our agency sells as a service.
Security plugins cover the “Website Security” offering, and accessibility plugins are all readily available rather than needing custom development.

For shopping carts, we can also deploy Shopify or for larger hospital websites we can use Drupal or other systems.

Compliance

How do you handle AHPRA advertising compliance?

We check website content against AHPRA’s Guidelines for Advertising a Regulated Health Service before it goes live. This includes avoiding prohibited testimonials, unsubstantiated claims, and inappropriate use of before/after imagery where restricted.

Although final responsibility rests with the doctor, health advertising is heavily regulated in Australia and we work hard to flag any potential issues that may fly under the radar in a generalist or overseas agency that is not familiar with Australian health care regulations.

What happens if something you create doesn't meet compliance requirements?

We build compliance checks into every stage of production, but if an issue is ever flagged post-launch, we’ll amend it at no additional cost.

Getting this right protects your registration as much as it protects us.

What’s included in your pricing packages?
