How does WhatsApp Channels decide who sees a post?
There is barely an algorithm here, and that is the whole point. Everyone who follows gets every update — no ranking, no reach penalty, no dead posts. Growth is entirely manual: you push people to the channel from your Instagram bio, your shop counter, your invoice and your Google listing. The Updates tab does have a directory you can be found in, so name the channel with your city and service in it rather than only your brand name.
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.

| #3 | 3 posts a week | Younger patients and the health-conscious F-sector crowd book home sampling straight from a Reel. | |
| TikTok | #4 | 3 videos a week | 'What your report means' explainers reach an enormous audience who are holding a report right now and cannot read it. |

WhatsApp Channels questions from diagnostic labs
Is WhatsApp Channels actually worth it for diagnostic labs?
Reports already travel on WhatsApp, so home-sampling slots, offers and report-ready alerts belong on the same app. We would rank it number 2 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 3 broadcasts a week.

3 broadcasts 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 diagnostic labs be on WhatsApp Channels before anything else?
No. Facebook comes first for diagnostic labs — WhatsApp Channels is number 2 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.

Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Price is the first and often the only question, and somebody in the market is always running twenty percent off. That is what your WhatsApp Channels posts should be answering, in 3 broadcasts a week
What does it cost to have someone run my WhatsApp Channels account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For diagnostic labs we usually recommend Business bundle at from PKR 25,000. A lab is chosen on price, distance and report speed, and all three are Google Business Profile questions. The Business bundle covers the site, the listing and one page posting rates and collection points.
