Why does TikTok work for this trade?
Short health answers in Urdu reach the whole neighbourhood, including the people who stopped opening Facebook years ago.
Who you are reaching here
Everyone inside a two-kilometre radius. Families who want one doctor for fever, sugar and blood pressure, students in hostels, and the household that has used the same clinic for twenty years.
What holds this trade back
Business is walk-in only, so one rainy Tuesday wipes out a day's takings with no way to recover it.
What does TikTok want from a general clinic account?
Your themes stay the same everywhere; what changes is the shape they take here. 2 to 3 videos a week — and each of these translates into a different kind of TikTok post.

How does TikTok decide who sees a post?
TikTok tests every upload on a few hundred people and mostly cares whether they watched to the end and then watched again. Follower count means almost nothing here. Rewatch rate and shares into WhatsApp move a video further than likes ever will. Search has become a real source — people type 'biryani Rawalpindi' straight into TikTok — and TikTok reads your spoken audio, so say the words out loud. Old videos genuinely restart weeks after posting.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

Should general clinics be anywhere else?
TikTok first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 4 posts a week plus daily replies in local groups | A neighbourhood clinic gets recommended inside sector and society groups, and those conversations still happen on Facebook. | |
| WhatsApp Channels | #2 | One short message daily | Which doctor is on duty, when the lab collection closes and today's token number all belong on the app people already have open. |
| #3 | 3 posts a week | Younger families in Ghauri Town, PWD and Bahria check Instagram before they walk into a clinic they have never used. |

TikTok questions from general clinics
Is TikTok actually worth it for general clinics?
Short health answers in Urdu reach the whole neighbourhood, including the people who stopped opening Facebook years ago. We would rank it number 4 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 2 to 3 videos a week.
How often should a general clinic business post on TikTok?
2 to 3 videos a week. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should general clinics be on TikTok before anything else?
No. Facebook comes first for general clinics — TikTok is number 4 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a general clinic account gets wrong on TikTok?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Business is walk-in only, so one rainy Tuesday wipes out a day's takings with no way to recover it. That is what your TikTok posts should be answering, in 2 to 3 videos a week
What does it cost to have someone run my TikTok account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For general clinics we usually recommend Business bundle at from PKR 25,000. A neighbourhood clinic wins on being found, not followed. The Business bundle builds the site, sets up and posts weekly to the Google Business Profile, and keeps one social page genuinely alive.
