Total Health Chiropractic
A Full-Funnel Approach to Patient Acquisition
At a Glance
Background
Overview & Market Presence
Total Health Chiropractic is one of Singapore's leading chiropractic care providers, with clinics across the CBD, Clementi, Orchard, Paya Lebar, Tampines, and Toa Payoh. For more than 13 years, the practice has built its reputation around evidence-based, non-invasive chiropractic care, helping patients manage conditions including back and neck pain, posture-related issues, headaches, sciatica, scoliosis, slipped discs, and sports injuries.
Supported by more than 1,500 Google reviews, the brand has established strong patient trust. However, competing in Singapore's increasingly crowded chiropractic market required more than a strong reputation; it required consistent digital visibility and a scalable patient acquisition strategy.
The Challenge
Key Operational & Growth Hurdles
Total Health Chiropractic partnered with Brew to accelerate patient acquisition across its network of clinics while making better use of available appointment capacity.
The objective was ambitious: increase new patient bookings, improve clinic utilisation during off-peak periods, and strengthen long-term digital visibility.
The challenge extended beyond simply generating leads.
Healthcare decisions, particularly for chiropractic treatment, are often accompanied by hesitation. Prospective patients frequently research multiple providers before booking, comparing reviews, pricing, treatment approaches, clinic locations, and practitioner credibility. Many also carry misconceptions about chiropractic care itself, questioning whether treatment is painful, how many sessions are required, or whether they will face aggressive package sales.
At the same time, competitors were investing heavily in Google Ads, SEO, patient testimonials, and local search visibility, making it increasingly difficult to stand out during the critical moments when patients were actively searching for treatment.
From a technical perspective, conversion tracking was also limiting campaign performance. Existing Meta Pixel implementation captured only basic browser events, restricting audience building, reducing optimisation signals for Meta's algorithm, and limiting Brew's ability to accurately measure patient journeys and retarget high-intent prospects.
The opportunity was to build a digital acquisition system that could capture existing demand, nurture patient confidence, and continually improve campaign efficiency over time.

Our Strategy
Our Approach
1. Building a Full-Funnel Patient Acquisition Strategy
Unlike retail purchases, healthcare decisions rarely happen after a single advertisement. Patients often move through multiple stages: recognising symptoms, researching treatment options, comparing providers, reading reviews, and only then deciding to book a consultation.
Recognising this behaviour, Brew developed an integrated digital strategy spanning Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, and content, ensuring Total Health Chiropractic remained visible throughout the entire patient journey.
Rather than relying on isolated campaigns, every channel was designed to play a distinct role, from creating awareness and educating prospective patients to capturing high-intent searches and converting them into booked consultations.
2. Google Ads to Capture Patients at Their Moment of Intent
Search remained the cornerstone of the acquisition strategy because it reaches users actively looking for chiropractic care.
Brew restructured Google Ads around commercially valuable search intent, focusing on patients searching for chiropractors, treatment-specific services, and location-based queries across Singapore.
Brew developed high-intent Google Search ads that positioned Total Health Chiropractic prominently during treatment-related searches, helping convert patient intent into consultation enquiries.
Campaign optimisation included:
- Search campaign restructuring
- Performance Max optimisation
- Keyword refinement
- Search ad experiments
- Same-day appointment messaging
- Sitelink optimisation
- Continuous budget reallocation towards the strongest-performing campaigns
Rather than treating every search equally, Brew prioritised the moments when users were most likely to convert.
Healthcare search behaviour is highly intent-driven. Patients searching terms like "chiropractor near me" or "back pain treatment Singapore" are already looking for solutions. Capturing this demand allows clinics to reach prospective patients when booking intent is at its highest.
3. Meta Advertising to Build Trust Before Patients Book
While Google captures existing demand, Meta plays an equally important role in influencing patients who are still considering treatment.
Brew developed a structured full-funnel Meta strategy spanning:
- Awareness campaigns
- Traffic campaigns
- Lead generation campaigns
- Remarketing campaigns
Creative themes focused on relatable patient experiences rather than clinical messaging, including:
- Office workers with chronic back pain
- Family chiropractic care
- Senior mobility
- Patient testimonials
- Promotional consultations
- Everyday posture and lifestyle issues
Retargeting audiences included previous website visitors, booking page visitors, treatment page visitors, social media engagers, and video viewers.
Patients often need reassurance before choosing a healthcare provider. Educational content, authentic patient stories, and repeated brand exposure help reduce uncertainty, build familiarity, and increase confidence before a booking decision is made.
4. SEO Strategy to Turn Paid Search Insights into Long-Term Growth
Alongside paid media, Brew conducted a comprehensive SEO audit to strengthen Total Health Chiropractic's long-term organic visibility.
While branded rankings were already performing well, the greatest opportunity lay in commercial, high-intent searches, such as:
- Chiropractor Singapore
- Chiropractor near me
- Location-based chiropractic searches
- Treatment-related keywords
Rather than treating SEO separately from paid media, Brew used Google Ads performance data to identify the search terms that were consistently generating enquiries.
These insights informed ongoing SEO priorities, allowing optimisation efforts to focus on keywords with proven commercial value rather than search volume alone.
Paid media delivers immediate visibility, while SEO builds sustainable growth. Aligning both strategies ensures the business becomes increasingly discoverable in organic search, reducing long-term reliance on advertising spend.
Results
Proven Performance & Growth
Beyond generating enquiries, the campaign strengthened Total Health Chiropractic's overall digital presence. Improved visibility, higher-quality leads, and stronger downstream conversion rates demonstrated that the strategy was not only attracting more prospective patients, but attracting the right ones, creating a scalable foundation for continued clinic growth.
- Google Ads generated 314 qualified patient enquiries and translated 43 of them into confirmed, booked appointments, making Search the clinic's most effective channel for reaching people actively looking for a chiropractor.
- The clinic's visibility in relevant searches reached 92%. In simple terms, this means that out of every 100 searches where the clinic could have appeared, it now shows up in 92 of them, leaving far fewer chances for competing clinics to be seen first.
- Engagement metrics reinforced the campaign success. Visitors spent 32% longer on the website after clicking through from search, and Google Search Ads achieved a 97% engagement rate, indicating that both the messaging and the landing page experience were doing an excellent job of capturing genuine patient interest rather than just clicks.
