Hooks · General clinics
Opening lines that stop the scroll for general clinics
A neighbourhood clinic's hooks are triage and timings, not branding. Name the symptom, the number of days, or what is going around this week. The mistake is posting motivational health quotes, which nobody in your two-kilometre radius has ever walked in holding as a reason to see the doctor.

Using these hooks
How do I use these hooks?
A neighbourhood clinic's hooks are triage and timings, not branding. Name the symptom, the number of days, or what is going around this week. The mistake is posting motivational health quotes, which nobody in your two-kilometre radius has ever walked in holding as a reason to see the doctor.
Should I use them word for word?
Use the shape, change the words. These are written for general clinics generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.
Do these work in Urdu?
Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
