It supports SEO and answers real questions before the first appointment. Included in Growth and Enterprise packages see full pricing.
Learn moreWhether a practice may advertise depends on your profession and the HPCSA rules that apply to it. Where paid advertising is permitted, we run factual, non-comparative Google Ads that inform patients about your services and access, with careful keyword and copy choices. Where it is not, we focus on website, local SEO, and content. We always recommend confirming the position with your professional body first see full pricing.
Learn moreOnline reviews influence how patients choose a practice, but healthcare reviews need care. We help you invite feedback appropriately, respond professionally without disclosing patient information, and keep your profiles accurate. We never publish testimonials that imply superior results or breach HPCSA guidance. The aim is an honest, well-managed reputation, not manufactured praise. Included in Growth and Enterprise packages see full pricing.
Learn moreGood communication keeps patients informed and reduces no-shows: appointment reminders, recall messages, and practice updates. Because this involves personal health information, every message is built with POPIA in mind, using lawful consent, secure handling, and clear opt-outs. We help you communicate helpfully while protecting patient privacy. Patient communications included in Growth and Enterprise packages see full pricing.
Learn moreHow we work
Here’s what working with Juicy Designs on healthcare marketing looks like from day one.
We map your discipline, services, and the patients you want to reach. We confirm which HPCSA advertising rules apply to your profession early, so every recommendation respects them. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Week 1-2We agree the channels and priorities for your practice. We build or refine your website, set up local SEO and your Google Business Profile, and plan factual, non-comparative content, with POPIA in mind for any patient communication.
Week 2-4Your compliant website and listings go live after your review. Educational content and, where permitted, factual Google Ads begin helping patients find and understand your services. You sign off messaging before it publishes.
Month 1We improve local rankings, expand educational content, and refine any permitted campaigns toward the services patients search for most. Visibility grows steadily while everything stays factual and within the rules.
Month 2-3Monthly reports in plain language: visibility, website enquiries, and bookings tracked by service. We keep refining the website, content, and listings until the results work for your practice.
What makes us different
HPCSA-aware marketing. Factual, non-comparative messaging. No lock-in contracts. No reporting fluff. Just patients finding and trusting your practice.
Healthcare marketing in South Africa is not like selling a product. We keep everything factual, dignified, and non-comparative, in line with HPCSA guidance on advertising and canvassing. No outcome guarantees, no testimonials implying superiority, no soliciting language. You are not paying us to learn what is allowed on the job. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Co-founder and CEO Cobus is Google Ads certified; co-founder Wynand is a Meta Business Partner. Your practice marketing is built by experienced specialists, not juniors. Every page, listing, and any permitted ad is written to respect HPCSA guidance and reviewed by you, the practitioner, before it goes live. Trusted by 64+ clients.
Busy practitioners don’t need a 40-page report filled with metrics they can’t act on. Every monthly report covers three things: what moved, why it moved, and what we’re doing next. Founders Cobus and Wynand are directly involved in your account, and we work with no lock-in contracts, so we earn your practice’s business every month.

We keep marketing factual, non-comparative, and dignified, in line with HPCSA guidelines on advertising and canvassing for practitioners. That means no testimonials that imply superiority, no comparative or guaranteed-outcome claims, and no soliciting language.

A compliant practice website starts from R5,000 per month. Practice growth packages from R13,000 per month add local SEO, educational content, and patient communications. Clinic enterprise engagements from R26,000 per month suit multi-site clinics and groups. Any Google Ads spend, where advertising is permitted for your discipline, is separate and paid directly to the platform. See pricing details here.
It depends on your profession and the HPCSA rules that apply to it. Some disciplines may advertise factually within limits, while others face tighter restrictions on soliciting patients. Where paid advertising is permitted, we run factual, non-comparative campaigns focused on informing patients about services and access. Where it is not, we focus on compliant websites, local SEO, and educational content. We always recommend confirming the position with your professional body, as this is general guidance, not legal advice.
We work with GPs and specialist doctors, dentists and orthodontists, physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, optometrists, and other allied health practitioners, as well as clinics and day hospitals across South Africa. We tailor each practice website, local SEO plan, and patient communication to the rules that apply to your specific discipline. Read more in our guide to medical practice marketing.
Client feedback
Practices, clinics, and allied health providers that chose HPCSA-aware marketing.
“We were nervous about marketing a medical practice because of the HPCSA rules. Juicy Designs built us a factual, professional website and kept every word non-comparative. They explained what we could and could not do, and let us sign off everything. Patients now find us easily online, and nothing about it feels promotional.”
“Our practice was almost invisible on Google. Juicy Designs sorted out our Google Business Profile and local SEO, and wrote clear, factual articles about common dental procedures. More local patients find us now, and the content answers their questions before they even call. Everything stayed within the rules our profession expects.”
“We needed help communicating with patients without crossing any privacy lines. Juicy Designs set up appointment reminders and recall messages built around POPIA, with proper consent and opt-outs. No-shows have dropped and our admin is calmer. They were careful and clear about what was and was not allowed throughout.”
