Advertising in the healthcare industry isn’t just about visibility—it’s about trust, compliance, and reaching the right audience at the right time. Stricter regulations, evolving patient behaviors, and rising competition make it challenging for healthcare brands to execute effective ad campaigns. Healthcare advertisers often face high costs and low conversions.
So, how can they overcome these barriers? 7Search PPC offers a solution with its targeted, cost-effective, and performance-driven ad solutions.
Boost Your Healthcare Brand – Launch Your Campaign Now!
Remember the COVID-19 pandemic? It was a time when the whole world trembled. Every system came to a halt—whether it was transport, daily routines, or financial transactions. However, one industry stood strong like a rock: Healthcare. And we proudly say that we also supported it through our ad network.
Many big pharma brands were ready to offer their medical services to those in need, but due to a lack of awareness, they struggled to reach them. We cleared the path for them by displaying their healthcare ads to the right audience—thanks to our unbeatable algorithm. This not only helped them earn consumers’ trust during a challenging period but also enhanced their healthcare brand’s visibility despite intense competition.
This case study will provide insights into how we tackle the biggest challenges in the healthcare advertising—trust, competition, and awareness. You will also see how we have successfully delivered ad campaigns so far.
First, Let’s Diagnose the Healthcare Industry
Digital advertising in healthcare is a tough nut to crack! With ever-evolving regulations, strict data protection laws, and the challenge of earning patient trust, every sector—from hospitals to pharma—faces unique hurdles. To succeed, you need a smart, compliant, and patient-centric approach.
However, just like a coin has two sides, the healthcare industry also presents both challenges and rewards. If everything goes well in digital advertising campaigns, the rewards can be significant despite the challenges.
Let’s talk about the potential of the healthcare industry. Believe it or not, healthcare is a goldmine of opportunities! The healthcare services market size is set to soar by USD 6,263.7 billion at a CAGR of 8.73% between 2023 and 2028. (Source- Technavio).

Digital ad platforms have given healthcare providers new ways to connect with their audience. The image below shows how the healthcare industry has grown over the years, and if it continues to grow at this speed, the upcoming years will be more profitable for healthcare businesses. This growth reflects the increasing acceptance of the healthcare industry, as people are becoming more attentive to their health.
Sectors Covered by the Healthcare Industry
We all see the healthcare industry as a single unit—and that’s true! But let’s not forget that it’s made up of many sectors, each playing a crucial role in medical services, research, and innovation. When they come together, they don’t just form an industry—they create a lifeline for millions!
Countries Known for Providing Top-Class Healthcare Services
There are 195 countries in the world, each with its ability to provide quality healthcare services. Some are developed, while others are developing or underdeveloped in this regard. Among them, a few countries have set the gold standard in healthcare, securing a spot in CEOWORLD Magazine’s Health Care Index 2024. This isn’t just an opinion—it’s an official ranking!
Advertising Opportunities in the Healthcare Industry

The Challenges in Healthcare Advertising
After learning about the healthcare industry and its advertising opportunities, it’s time to talk about the challenges healthcare advertisers face. Advertising in healthcare is not easy, as marketers must overcome many obstacles. High competition costs and strict rules make it even harder. Some of the main challenges include:
Strict Regulations
Healthcare is completely different from other industries. You can’t sell medicine like ice cream, where you say, ‘The summer is so sunny, so why not enjoy this super cool ice cream?’ Customers don’t need a prescription for ice cream, but for medicine, they often do. Healthcare ads face strict regulations, so advertisers must ensure every claim is backed by proof and fully compliant with governing bodies.
Trust and Sensitivity
Healthcare services, especially in areas like mental health and pharmaceuticals, rely heavily on trust. While trust is essential across the entire healthcare industry, patients often make life-altering decisions based on the information they receive. They are unlikely to trust easily until they have a reason to do so.
High Competition
UnitedHealth Group, Abbott, Roche, and Novartis are big names in the global healthcare industry. The competition is tough, as many other healthcare brands try to establish their identity and capture a share of the market. However, in reality, they have only a limited pool of audience to target.
Now, you might be wondering why we use the phrase “limited pool” when there are 8.2 billion people in the world, and healthcare is essential for everyone. The reason is that consumers tend to trust well-established companies and rarely try new ones when it comes to medical care. This makes it challenging for new healthcare companies to gain attention, which is why we use that phrase.
Complex Targeting
Complex targeting has been a major issue for many years. The healthcare industry is broad and covers many sectors like medicines, treatments, insurance, wellness services, etc.
The biggest struggle advertisers face is delivering the right message to the right audience at the right time. Effective healthcare advertising isn’t just about pushing ads—it’s about understanding who needs the service, their location, and much more.
The challenges in finding the ideal audience arise due to the following reasons:
- Different people need different healthcare services, which makes it hard to target them correctly.
- People search for healthcare information and services in different ways, which makes it tricky to reach them.
- The lack of targeting options in ad platforms makes it difficult for advertisers to target their healthcare ads to those who need their services.
Expensive Advertising
High advertising costs pose a significant challenge for many advertisers, as they struggle to allocate a substantial portion of their budget to promoting healthcare services.
But why is that the case? Have you ever wondered about it, especially when healthcare services have high-profit margins, allowing providers to earn well by offering treatment or services?
Here’s the answer: If you get conversions, you can quickly recover your advertising investment and even generate a profit. However, if there is a lack of consumers, how can you recoup the amount invested in advertising or promotions?
Many advertising platforms sell the dream of success, tempting healthcare businesses to join—only to hit them with steep costs later.
7Search PPC: A Solution to Healthcare Advertising Challenges
We love challenges because they make us stronger and more focused. Our goal has always been to expand into all verticals where we can establish our ad network by providing top-notch advertising services without overburdening advertisers with excessive costs. The healthcare industry has always been a top priority for us because we understand its significance.
Promote Your Health Business on a Trusted Ad Network
The solutions you see below did not come about in a single day. We thoroughly researched the challenges advertisers face, identified the most common ones, and discussed them multiple times with the 7Search PPC team. After careful analysis and refinement, we developed and delivered these solutions.
Regulatory Compliance
We operate differently from other ad networks. We don’t just follow the crowd—7Search PPC redefines how ad networks operate, making us truly stand out! The GEOs we offer to our advertisers are not chosen blindly.
At 7Search PPC, we have a dedicated team that closely monitors existing and updated regulations. They pass this information to the ad management team, which thoroughly reviews the ads of our healthcare advertisers to ensure compliance with the regulations of the targeted country in their ad campaign.
If everything is in order, the ad goes live. If not, our team contacts the advertiser and provides all necessary corrections.
Advanced Targeting Capabilities
Success in the digital advertising landscape comes from striking the right balance by delivering seamless ad experiences without losing user interest.
Let’s get straight to the point. An ad’s success depends on two things: the message and the audience.
Advertisers can create and deliver their message by launching an ad campaign; if it doesn’t reach an audience, it fails. You need an ideal audience to watch it without frustrating them.
So, we offer our advertisers advanced targeting options. Now, they can target their audience based on:
- Devices
- Country-wise
- Operating Systems
Cost-Efficient Campaigns
We value every penny that advertisers add to their wallets, hoping to gain clicks and impressions. While other ad networks charge hefty amounts for running ad campaigns on their platforms, 7Search PPC allows advertisers to pay based on either per click (CPC) or per 1,000 impressions (CPM), depending on their goals.
We also offer both manual and automated bidding options, giving them the flexibility to choose what suits them best.
Additionally, we keep them informed about their budget to make sure they don’t miss the opportunity to achieve their goals on 7Search PPC.
Quality Traffic
One of the biggest challenges that advertisers often face in their ad campaign journey is not getting genuine traffic despite making a significant investment. Quality traffic comes from publishers who receive competitive rates in exchange for the ad inventory they provide.
At 7Search PPC, we only allow publishers with real traffic that matches the industries we serve. We place a ‘Block’ sign board for publishers who engage in fraudulent activities like bot traffic, click fraud, or any deceptive practices that compromise ad quality.
Whether it’s about matching the right ad or finding the right audience, our advanced algorithm takes care of the rest.
Result-Driven Ad Formats
By offering the above solutions, we have almost solved the problems of most healthcare advertisers, but there are still some problems that remain to be solved, like building trust and high competition.
These factors largely depend on how advertisers implement their strategies and what kind of offerings they provide in the healthcare sector, as the scenario varies from one advertiser to another.
Nonetheless, we provided them with a stepping stone to enter the competition, and that stepping stone is our five super-powered ad formats. Text ads, banner ads, native ads, in-page push ads, and popunder ads are our game-changing players.
These formats not only enhance audience trust but also help advertisers stand strong against their rivals.
The Top 3 Healthcare Ad Campaigns on 7Search PPC
To understand the effectiveness of 7Search PPC in healthcare advertising, let’s explore the top three ad campaigns of healthcare providers who turned to our platform and achieved their desired results.
(Note: While many healthcare advertisers are achieving success on 7Search PPC, we are highlighting only the top three ad campaigns due to space limitations.)
The time has come to compare the top three healthcare ad campaigns and catch key insights that can help you improve your future ad campaigns.
Let’s start with Thomas Cuevas, a healthcare advertiser who achieved 138,020 impressions and 2,249 clicks (recorded at the time of writing this case study). Mr. Cuevas targeted Australia, Canada, and the United States in his campaign.
Meanwhile, John Herbst received 131,751 impressions and 2,074 clicks, focusing on Canada, the United States, and India. Anna R. Paul garnered 126,435 impressions and 1,935 clicks, targeting only the United States.
Upon analyzing the results, it is evident that strategy plays a crucial role. Mr. Cuevas’ choice of target countries differed from those of Herbst and Anna R. Paul, which impacted performance. Additionally, the selected ad formats also contributed to the variations in results.
