How we work

One team across strategy, delivery and compliance

Understand your practice

We start with an audit of your website, visibility, competitors and goals, so the plan fits your practice.

Build the right plan

We choose the channels that will actually move your bookings, and set up tracking before anything launches.

Run it compliantly

Every ad, page and post is checked against the advertising rules, then measured and improved each month.

Why podiatry marketing is different

Podiatry covers a wide range of people. A teenager with a sports injury, a runner with heel pain and an older person managing diabetes all need a podiatrist, but they search differently and care about different things. Many also arrive through GP referrals and chronic disease management plans.

We make sure each of them finds the right information. Clear service pages explain what you treat and how, local search puts you in front of people nearby, and referrer communications keep GPs and diabetes educators sending patients your way.

Patient journey

How people choose a podiatrist

Podiatry serves very different groups, and each searches differently.

  1. Step 01

    A foot problem or a referral

    Heel pain, a toenail, a diabetes check or a GP or educator referral starts the search.

    Our part

    We make referral details clear for GPs and diabetes educators.

  2. Step 02

    They search for the problem

    They search for the specific problem and the suburb.

    Our part

    We build pages for each common concern and audience, from sport to high-risk feet.

  3. Step 03

    They check fit and funding

    Appointments soon, distance, health funds and other funding shape the shortlist.

    Our part

    We keep availability, locations and funding information accurate.

  4. Step 04

    They book

    They want to know they are in the right place for their situation.

    Our part

    We help each audience recognise themselves and book in a few taps.

Pages for each audience help people recognise themselves and book.

Compliance

Advertising rules for podiatrists

The rules that apply

Outcome claims, testimonials and how you describe podiatric surgery all need care. Only podiatrists with specialist registration should describe themselves as podiatric surgeons.

The National Law advertising rules
Advertising can't be false or misleading, use testimonials, create unreasonable expectations of benefit, offer gifts or discounts without clear terms, or encourage unnecessary use of services.
Podiatric surgeon title
Only podiatrists with specialist registration as podiatric surgeons can use that title.
Products and devices
Orthotics and devices should be described accurately, and some are medical devices under the TGA rules.
Funding wording
Rebate and plan statements should be accurate and say who is eligible.
Privacy and consent
Patient photos, stories and enquiry details are health information. Get written consent before using images, and handle enquiries securely.

Mistakes we often see on podiatry websites

These cause avoidable risk. Plain, accurate wording is what patients and referrers respond to.

  1. Outcome promises on treatments

    Claims that a treatment will fix pain or prevent problems need to be measured and supported.

  2. Product claims

    Orthotics and devices should be described accurately, without implying guaranteed results.

  3. Patient stories

    Reviews and stories describing outcomes shouldn’t be republished.

  4. Unclear funding wording

    Statements about rebates and plans should be accurate and conditional.

FAQ

FAQs about podiatry clinic marketing

GPs want to know you can see their patients promptly and will keep them informed. Clear referral information, prompt reports and occasional updates on your services all help. Our referral marketing service handles the outreach and communication.

Usually both, with separate pages and campaigns. Sports clients often search for specific problems and book quickly, while general and chronic care patients rely more on referrals and recalls. We’ll recommend a mix based on your team and capacity.

Yes, as long as the advertising is accurate and doesn’t promise outcomes. Explaining who orthotics may suit, how they’re made and what to expect is fine. Avoid claims that they’ll fix a problem for everyone.

With clear, easy-to-read pages, phone booking and information for carers and family members. Many decisions are made by adult children, so the site speaks to them too.

If you see children, yes. Parents search specifically, so a dedicated page explains what you treat and what the first visit involves.

Yes, if the information is accurate and clear about eligibility. We avoid implying that all patients will receive a rebate.

By offering a clear referral pathway and communicating directly with facility managers and care teams, so they know what you offer and how to refer.
