Independent Pharmacy Growth Turn more pharmacy searches into prescription transfers.

It runs the channels patients use to pick a pharmacy: your website and transfer form, Google Ads, local search, AI search, email and text, and reviews. SearchPod runs them as one plan, keeps every ad inside Google's healthcare rules, and reports which channel brought each transfer.

Our prices are published. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget with a $600 per month minimum, and the budget goes to Google with no markup. Search content is priced at $50 a page with a ten-page monthly minimum. A custom website is a one-time package from $1,500 to $20,000+ (see /websites). $0 setup, month to month, no contract.

Yes, with care. Google's Healthcare and medicines policy restricts prescription-drug terms and requires certification for pharmacies promoting online prescription sales. Ads for transfers, vaccines, delivery, compounding, and hours are allowed. We write to the policy and handle any review.

We build a one-form transfer request on your site: name, phone, current pharmacy, and the medications they want moved. Your team calls the old pharmacy. The patient gets a text confirming when it's ready. That page is what most of the ads and search traffic lands on.

Yes. Messages are opt-in and never contain health details, drug names, or anything that would fall under HIPAA in the US or PIPEDA and PHIPA in Canada. Ad platforms never receive patient information, and tracking is set up with that in mind.

Yes. Compounding, adherence packaging, long-term-care delivery, and, where your province allows it, pharmacist prescribing for minor ailments each get their own page and campaign. Those searches are less crowded than "pharmacy near me" and bring patients who need exactly what you offer.

We build the campaigns, booking page, and reminder emails before fall, then switch them on as supply arrives. Back-to-school immunizations and travel health get the same treatment on their own calendar.

Google Ads can bring transfer requests within weeks. Map rankings, reviews, and AI visibility take a few months to build into steady traffic you don't pay per click for, and follow-up keeps first-fill patients coming back in between.

Transfer requests, vaccine bookings, calls, and direction requests are tracked from day one, each with the ad, search, or page that produced it. You see what a new patient costs to win and which channel keeps winning them.

One team runs the whole system with public pricing, $0 setup, and no contract. Your site, ad accounts, and patient opt-in list are yours from day one. Not satisfied after the first 30 days? You owe nothing.

You do, all of it: the website, brand files, ad accounts, and every opt-in subscriber. If we part ways, it leaves with you.

Request a proposal and you'll have a written plan with real pricing within one business day, plus a free review of how your pharmacy shows up on Google. Website timing depends on the package; the proposal lays out the schedule before you commit.
