How to Use Google Posts to Promote Clinic Services (Without Sounding Salesy)

Most clinics don’t take full advantage of Google Posts.
They either skip them completely—or use them like cheesy ads that don’t connect.

But here’s the truth:

Google Posts are a free, high-visibility content slot right on your Business Profile—right where patients are already deciding whether to book.

If you run a physiotherapy clinic, dental office, foot care clinic, or medical spa, this post shows how to:

  • Promote your services effectively
  • Drive more clicks and calls
  • Stay engaging without sounding pushy

💡 What Are Google Posts?

Think of them like mini social media updates that appear on your GBP listing in:

  • Google Search results
  • Google Maps
  • Mobile and desktop view

Types of posts include:

  • What’s New (announcements, tips, service info)
  • Offers (discounts, limited-time promos)
  • Events (open houses, info sessions)
  • Updates (holiday hours, team changes)

Posts last 7 days, unless it’s an event with a future date.


✅ Why Google Posts Matter for Clinics

  • Increase profile activity (a ranking signal!)
  • Educate patients about services and treatments
  • Answer common questions in advance
  • Build brand trust and visibility—before the patient even clicks your website

🧠 What to Post (That Doesn’t Feel Salesy)

Here’s how to craft helpful, relevant content that converts without shouting “Buy now!”


🦷 1. Service Spotlights

Example:

“Thinking about Invisalign? We now offer complimentary smile assessments for adults and teens. Learn if you’re a candidate in under 30 minutes.”

✅ Includes:

  • Service name
  • Benefit
  • CTA (Call Now, Learn More, Book)

🧖‍♀️ 2. Seasonal or Situational Reminders

Example (Med Spa):

“Summer skin starts now 🌞 — Book your hydrafacial to help reduce sun damage and brighten tone before patio season.”

Example (Podiatry):

“Don’t ignore that heel pain—plantar fasciitis is easier to treat early. Same-week appointments available!”

✅ Timely, educational, and proactive.


🧑‍⚕️ 3. Team Introductions or Behind-the-Scenes

Example:

“Meet Dr. Ali, our TMJ and migraine-focused physiotherapist. She combines manual therapy and dry needling to help chronic jaw pain.”

✅ Builds trust and human connection.


📍 4. Location-Specific Services

Example (Multi-location clinic):

“Our Brampton location now offers pelvic floor physiotherapy with extended evening hours—perfect for busy new moms.”

✅ Helps attract walk-ins or nearby patients to the right location.


❓ 5. Answer Patient Questions

Example (Dental):

“Nervous about dental freezing? Here’s what to expect—and how we make it more comfortable for our patients.”

✅ Combines education + reassurance = action.


💰 6. Subtle Offers (The Right Way)

Example:

“New to our clinic? Ask about our welcome package for first-time patients. Includes 15-min extra consult time and take-home resources.”

✅ Add value without sounding desperate.


✍️ Google Post Best Practices for Clinics

  • Length: Aim for 150–300 characters
  • Tone: Informative, warm, professional
  • Images: Use real photos (staff, services, clinic)—not stock
  • CTA: Use Google’s built-in buttons:
    • “Book”
    • “Call Now”
    • “Learn More”
    • “Sign Up”

📆 Post weekly to stay fresh and active (Google notices).


📈 How to Measure Post Performance

Track inside your GBP dashboard:

  • Views = how many people saw the post
  • Clicks = how many engaged
  • Calls/bookings = if linked properly (use UTM tags for website links)

🧪 Test different topics, tones, and CTAs—then repeat what performs best.


🧠 Final Thoughts

Google Posts are one of the most underused free marketing tools for clinics.

Instead of sounding salesy, use them to:

  • Educate
  • Reassure
  • Inspire action
  • Build trust right where patients are already searching

Remember: Every post is a chance to turn a searcher into a patient.
