The Client

Healthcare, accessible anywhere, anytime.

AkosMD is a US-based telemedicine platform redefining access to primary care and urgent medical consultations. With a focus on convenience, affordability and technology-driven healthcare, it connects patients with licensed physicians through a seamless virtual interface.

The mission is simple: make healthcare accessible anywhere, anytime - reducing wait times and empowering patients to manage their health through on-demand consultations, prescription support and digital care programmes.

The Challenge

Convincing patients to skip the waiting room.

Telemedicine competes with habit. The brief was to make virtual care feel as credible as a clinic visit, as fast as an urgent care queue is slow, and obviously cheaper than an ER trip.

The competitor isn't another app. It's the assumption that real care happens in a room.

A

Credibility in a young category

Establishing AkosMD as a trusted leader in telemedicine and virtual primary care.

B

Awareness among cost-pressured patients

Reaching US patients seeking fast, reliable and affordable healthcare alternatives.

C

Direct patient acquisition

Converting interest into teleconsultations and subscription care plans, not just downloads.

D

A phone-first audience

Over 75% of consultations are booked on a smartphone, often mid-symptom.

Our Approach

Four connected engines, one care journey.

Every layer was built to answer the same question faster than the alternative: can I get real care, right now, without leaving the house?

1

Website optimisation

  • Trust & compliance-first design: HIPAA compliance highlights, physician profiles, patient testimonials and certifications.
  • Conversion tools: Book a Tele-visit CTAs, free health screening quizzes and live chat support for instant engagement.
  • Educational hubs on common conditions treated - flu, infections, chronic care - plus telemedicine FAQs and cost comparisons against ER visits.
  • Mobile-first UX built for the 75%+ of users booking consultations on smartphones.
2

SEO & content marketing

  • High-intent keyword strategy: telemedicine near me, virtual urgent care USA, online doctor consultation, telehealth for flu treatment.
  • Content pillars: symptom-based blogs (when to choose telemedicine over the ER), healthcare cost savings, patient stories and physician advice columns.
  • On-page SEO: optimised metadata, structured healthcare FAQ schema and patient-friendly URL architecture.
  • Backlink strategy across US health blogs, insurance providers and wellness publishers.
3

Performance marketing

  • Platforms: Meta Ads, Google Search, YouTube pre-roll and LinkedIn Ads for employer health programmes.
  • Targeting adults 25-55, families seeking urgent care alternatives, employees carrying high healthcare costs and uninsured patients.
  • Funnel design: "healthcare from the comfort of home" video awareness → physician-led Q&A and cost comparisons → retargeting with Book Now offers, first-consultation discounts and bundled family plans.
  • Creative direction built on convenience, affordability and immediacy: Your Doctor, On Demand.
4

Social media marketing

  • Instagram strategy: branded educational reels, quick healthcare tips, behind-the-scenes with doctors and Q&A stories.
  • Content themes: #AkosAnswers, Healthcare Myths vs Facts, and Patient Stories highlighting convenience and affordability.
  • Community engagement through polls, symptom-check quizzes and live Q&As with physicians.
  • Paid boosting to amplify awareness campaigns across US metro cities.
