How pharmacy customers search
Whether you’re a startup or industry star, we’re here to promote your brand by creative research and real human centred design.
Audit and baseline
We measure where you stand now: rankings, traffic, leads and what your competitors are doing. You get the numbers before anything is spent.
Plan and priorities
We agree what moves first, what it should produce and when you should expect to see it. No work starts until you know what you are paying for.
Build and launch
Work goes live in stages, so you see progress every month instead of waiting for one big reveal at the end.
Measure and adjust
Monthly reporting in plain language, tied to leads and booked work, and we change whatever is not producing.

Questions pharmacies ask
01 How do people search for a pharmacy?
Almost entirely locally and by service: flu shot near me, compounding pharmacy, prescription delivery. Very few search by pharmacy name unless they already use you.
02 How do we compete with the chains?
On the things chains cannot do well: service depth, delivery, compounding, adherence packaging, and knowing customers by name. Those need their own pages, because the chains do not rank for them.
03 What are the compliance considerations?
Forms that collect health information cannot carry standard tracking pixels. Targeting by health condition is restricted. Advertising prescription services requires certification. We build the measurement around those limits.
04 Can you handle multiple branches?
Yes, including branches trading under their original local names. Those names carry real recognition, so we keep them working while feeding one brand authority.
05 Do you handle our online store?
Yes. Product structure, category pages and tracking, so the store can rank and sell rather than sit as an unsorted list.
06 What is the most valuable thing to measure?
Prescription transfers. A transfer is years of recurring revenue, not one transaction, which changes what you can afford to spend to win one.
