These are the actual questions clinic owners ask us.

The questions clinic owners ask on real discovery calls. We answer fully, even when the answer is “no, we will not do that for you.” If your question is not here, the closing section will tell you who to email.

A printed conversation transcript on cream paper with handwritten ink margin notes: the questions clinic owners actually ask.
01 · Trust & track record

On being burned, and being pre-launch.

Fair. Most clinic owners reading this can name the agency, the start date, and the month it stopped feeling worth it.

Even if you have signed three retainers that went nowhere, the pilot is structured so walking away is the easy default. Day 30 is a decision point, not a renewal trap. The kill clause is in the agreement. The weekly report is shared, not summarized. After the pilot, the engagement is month-to-month with a 30-day exit clause. We earn the next month every month.

We do not lock you in. The pilot is structured to make walking away easy.

02 · Cost & contract structure

On price, and what you are actually signing.

The pilot is AED 18,000 for 30 days, plus ad spend at cost. After it you pick a monthly plan. Front Desk is AED 10,000 if you keep your agency for ads. Growth One is AED 28,000 with ad spend up to AED 30,000 a month. Growth Two is AED 38,000 up to AED 80,000. Scale is AED 55,000 up to AED 200,000 and two locations. Above that we write a proposal. Every price is on the pilot page.

There is no markup on media. Ad spend is paid directly to the platform, on your card.

Pilot price
03 · Existing-vendor objection

On the agency you already have.

Good. Keep them. The pilot runs alongside, not instead.

Even if your contract has six months left, the pilot does not require switching. We commit to a speed-to-lead SLA on the enquiries you route to us (typically the after-hours and weekend overflow your current agency cannot cover). For 30 days we report side-by-side performance. No firing anyone. Front Desk, at AED 10,000 a month, is built for this. Your agency keeps the ads. We answer every enquiry and show you which source booked.

Most pilots end with the clinic restructuring the existing relationship, not terminating it. Sometimes the existing agency stays on for brand, while we run patient acquisition. Sometimes the gap is large enough that the conversation gets simpler. Either way, day 30 is your call.

04 · Compliance & advertising approval

On the regulator, and the language of ads.

Operationally, yes. Every ad and landing-page variant routes through your Medical Director per DHA Standard ST-21 v1.1 (Health Advertisement Content on Social Media), the DHA 2025 circular reaffirming it, DoH Circular 26/2023 for Abu Dhabi, and MOHAP Ministerial Decree 430/2007 for the Northern Emirates. Qatar buyers, the DHP 2021 circular workflow with Medical Director and practitioner written approval.

Even if you have been told by another agency that they handle compliance internally, we route through your clinic’s Medical Director. We do not impersonate clinical authority. We ship copy after the relevant approval is logged.

We do not use HIPAA-grade language as a substitute for actual UAE compliance. The HIPAA reference, where it appears, is for hosting controls only. The advertising regulator is DHA, DoH, MOHAP, or DHP, depending on your emirate or country.

Compliance posture
05 · Data & residency

On who has access, and where it lives.

A short answer: only the people on your account, plus the platform sub-processors required to run the engine. The full sub-processor list is on /compliance with contractual basis.

The longer answer cites UAE Federal Decree-Law 45/2021 (PDPL, with the health-data carve-out in Article 2) and UAE Federal Law 2/2019 on the Use of ICT in Health Fields. The architecture splits data by sensitivity. No clinical data enters the marketing stack. We handle names, numbers and treatment interest only. Your clinical records stay in your own systems.

Even if you have been through a DHA or DoH licensing data questionnaire, this answer should be short on your side. We will produce the architectural diagram on request.

06 · AI specifics

On the front desk, voice calls, and what we will not promise.

Not as standard. The front desk runs on WhatsApp, web chat, Instagram and your web form. A missed call gets a message back with a booking link. A voice front desk is available on request, quoted per clinic once we have a carrier quote.

We are honest about limits. The front desk does not handle treatment-related discussions. It does not handle escalations. It does not handle sensitive topics like cost objections, second opinions, or IVF cycle questions. Those go to your team, inside 15 minutes in clinic hours.

07 · Operational accountability

On who actually runs this.

Honest split. ClinicBoost is run from Dubai by Tellus DWC LLC. Besnik is the Dubai founder. Faheem leads engineering and delivery remotely from Pakistan and is available for technical escalations. Your clinic puts one decision-maker on a weekly call with our team.

Even if you have been “sold to by Dubai and serviced by Lahore” before and the experience was uneven, the supervision structure here is different. The day-to-day delivery team is supervised by Faheem. The weekly booked-patient report comes to you in writing, so you can check the work yourself.

If you want both founders on a call together, ask. We do that on request.

08 · Results & timing

On ROI, and what we measure.

The math lives on /methodology §1 in full, with sources cited per input.

Short version. Customer acquisition cost equals cost-per-lead divided by inquiry-to-booked rate, divided by booked-to-consumed rate. For dental and aesthetics in Dubai, the priority-vertical math gives a per-missed-lead figure of AED 340 to AED 365. The pilot’s job is to show you, inside 30 days, which enquiries became booked patients. We report booked and shown patients.

Even if your previous reporting was full of impressions and click-through rates, each week you get the booked-patient digest. It shows cost per booked patient by source and campaign, and lists any records we could not trace. Vanity metrics are how agencies get paid for doing less.

09 · Switching & onboarding

On your existing systems.

We will tell you on the discovery call, before any contract talk.

Systems we have integrated with: Google Ads, Meta Ads, GoHighLevel, Twilio, Calendly, Cliniko, the major UAE-region booking platforms, WhatsApp Business API, common call-tracking providers. Systems that may need a custom integration: practice-management software with no public API, on-premise booking systems, regional CRMs. Systems we will tell you up front are out of scope: anything that requires us to re-implement your clinical records or booking core. We do not touch clinical systems.

Even if your stack is unusual, the discovery call is where we say so. We do not oversell. If the integration cost is significant, that is part of the conversation before signing.

10 · Patient experience

On reputation, and tone.

What is the actual concern here? In our experience, clinic owners ask this when they have spent ten years building a reputation and do not want it cheapened in 30 days.

Even if the worry is that AI in the funnel makes the clinic feel transactional, the design choices below are why it does not. The front desk identifies as automated when asked. It does not impersonate a human. The tone is calibrated per specialty: light and confident in aesthetics, quiet and observational in IVF, restrained in dermatology. We do not run urgency tactics on IVF, period.

Compliance and tone are reviewed before any campaign goes live. If a piece of copy reads off-brand, the Medical Director or the clinic owner sends it back. We rewrite it.

11 · Question we did not answer?

If your question is not here,
send it.

We answer in writing. If the answer needs a call, we will offer one. If the answer is “we cannot help with that,” we will say so.
