Marketing for Skin Cancer GPs in Australia
Google Ads, SEO, and websites for general practices offering skin cancer checks and minor procedures alongside primary care services.
Who this is for
- General practices offering skin cancer checks, minor excisions, and skin lesion assessments
- GPs with skin cancer medicine qualifications or special interest in skin cancer
- Practices with capacity for 30+ skin check appointments per month
- Bulk billing practices or mixed billing with clear fee structure
- Practices ready to dedicate appointment slots specifically for skin checks
Problems we solve
- •Competing against dedicated skin clinics.Higher marketing budgets. Perceived as more specialist. Better search visibility.
- •Skin check slots not filling consistently.Some weeks fully booked. Other weeks gaps. Cannot predict demand.
- •Patients booking general appointments instead of skin checks.Skin check time slots wasted on 10 minute acute visits.
- •Mixed messaging confuses patients.Website shows general practice services. Patients unclear you do thorough skin checks.
- •Marketing budget limited.Cannot match dedicated skin clinic ad spend. Need efficient targeting.
Our approach
- Separate campaigns for skin checks vs general practice.Dedicated budget and landing pages for skin cancer services only.
- Emphasise bulk billing if available.Clear price advantage vs private skin clinics. Prominent in ad copy and landing page.
- Highlight GP qualifications in skin cancer.Skin cancer medicine certificates. Years of experience. Make expertise clear.
- Local community positioning."Local GP", "family practice", "established in [suburb] since [year]". Build trust through local presence.
- Tight geographic targeting.3-5km radius only. Focus on immediate local area. Lower cost per click than competing broadly.

Common questions
Can we market skin checks without a dedicated skin clinic setup?
Yes. As long as you have GP qualifications in skin cancer medicine and dedicated appointment slots, we can market this service. Emphasise thorough checks, GP expertise, and bulk billing if available.
How do we compete on price against dedicated clinics?
If you bulk bill, this is your competitive advantage. Make it prominent. If you charge a gap, position on convenience (local GP, ongoing care relationship) and thoroughness.
What if our skin check slots vary week to week?
We pause and resume campaigns based on capacity. Weekly check in with practice manager. Budget adjusted to match available slots. No point paying for enquiries when fully booked.
What budget do we need?
Minimum $1,000-$1,500 per month in ad spend. Lower than dedicated clinics because tighter geographic targeting and bulk billing positioning reduces cost per click. Service fee from $1,200/month.
