Quick Answer

Origami has a built-in email sequencer—you don’t just find Medical Clinics Running Ads, you send targeted campaigns to them from the same dashboard. No exporting CSVs, no syncing tools. You build a list, refine it, load a 3-step sequence (or let the AI write it), and launch. Everything—opens, clicks, replies—shows up alongside each prospect’s enriched profile.

If you haven’t built your list yet, start with our guide on how to build a list of Medical Clinics Running Ads. That post walks you through finding clinics actively spending on Facebook and Google Ads and getting verified emails. This post assumes you already have a list inside Origami and focuses on what to do next: craft a sequence that actually books meetings.


Step 1: Build (or Refresh) Your List in Origami

Even if you already built your list, it’s worth a quick sanity check. The quality of your email campaign depends entirely on who you’re emailing. If you need to rebuild or expand, here’s exactly how to generate a fresh list of Medical Clinics Running Ads inside Origami.

Open Origami and type a prompt like this:

“Find medical clinics in the US that are currently running Facebook and Google Ads. Focus on elective-procedure clinics: weight loss, dermatology, dental implants, med spas, and orthopedic surgery centers. Return the clinic name, website, the ad platform they’re active on, the clinic owner or marketing manager’s name, verified email, and phone number.”

Origami’s AI agent searches live ad libraries, business databases, and dozens of data sources in real time. It enriches every contact—verifying emails, cross-referencing titles, and pulling company details. Within minutes you get a table with:

  • Clinic name and website
  • Active ad platforms (Facebook, Google, Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
  • Contact person (often the clinic owner or head of marketing)
  • Verified email and phone number
  • Additional context: specialty, number of locations, technology stack hints

You can do this on the free plan—1,000 credits, no credit card required. Paid plans start at $29/month. Credits are used when you enrich leads; the email sequencer itself is included on all paid plans and doesn’t cost extra credits to send.

If your list is already sitting in Origami, skip ahead to Step 2. Just make sure you’ve got at least 50–100 prospects. Smaller lists work, but you’ll need a tighter message to pull meaningful reply rates.


Step 2: Refine and Qualify Your List

A raw list of clinics running ads is not a campaign-ready list. Some contacts will be wrong (front-desk staff, info@ addresses), some clinics won’t have enough ad activity to care, and some won’t fit your value proposition. Spend 20 minutes cleaning before you send a single email.

Cut the obviously bad fits

In Origami, scan the list for:

  • Non-decision-makers: Remove titles like “Receptionist,” “Office Manager,” or “Info@” addresses unless the clinic is a single-location practice where the owner still handles marketing.
  • Community health centers or free clinics: They rarely have ad budgets and aren’t your buyer. Look for “Community Health Center,” “FQHC,” or government-funded designations. Remove them.
  • Inactive advertisers: If Origami shows zero active ads or the last ad was from 2025, they’re not a priority. You can keep a few for a low-effort test, but focus on clinics spending right now.

Segment into meaningful buckets

Medical clinics running ads aren’t all the same. Break your list into segments that match your offer. In Origami, you can add tags or notes directly to contacts:

  • By specialty: Weight loss, dermatology, med spa, dental, orthopedics, fertility, etc. The language in your emails will change based on specialty (a med spa focuses on aesthetics and cash-pay, while an orthopedic clinic deals with insurance-reimbursed procedures).
  • By clinic size: Single-location vs. multi-location group. Multi-location groups often have a marketing point person; single-location clinics are usually owner-operated. The decision-maker and pain level differ.
  • By ad platform: Clinics on Facebook only, Google only, or both. Facebook-dominant clinics often struggle with landing-page conversion; Google-dominant clinics usually care about cost-per-lead and keyword competition.
  • By geography: If your service is location-limited, filter by state or metro area.

What “qualified” looks like for Medical Clinics Running Ads

For this campaign, a qualified lead is:

  • Confirmed ad spend in 2026 (active Facebook Ads Library or Google Ads)
  • A clinic offering elective or cash-pay services (where patient acquisition is a direct revenue driver)
  • A contact title that suggests they own or manage marketing (Owner, CEO, Marketing Manager, Practice Administrator)
  • A verified email that doesn’t bounce

If a contact hits all four, they’re gold. If they hit three, they’re worth emailing with a slightly softer approach. Below three, remove them now—you can circle back after you’ve refined your outreach based on what works.


Step 3: Create the Email Sequence

Origami gives you two ways to load your sequence:

  1. Paste your own templates: Write your own 3-touch emails, set the delays between touches (e.g., Day 1, Day 3, Day 7), and launch. You have full control over every word.
  2. Let the agent write it: Ask Origami’s AI agent to generate a personalized 3-day email sequence for all your leads automatically. The agent writes messages based on each lead’s profile data—title, company, industry—so every email feels custom. You can review, tweak, and launch.

Below, I’ve written a 3-touch sequence you can copy, paste, and customize. Every message is 50–100 words, built specifically for Medical Clinics Running Ads. The pain points are real: high ad costs, low conversion of clicks to booked appointments, no HIPAA-compliant follow-up, and an owner who’s too busy to optimize.

The Sequence (Copy-Paste Ready)

Touch 1 — Day 1 (Initial cold email)

  • Subject: Your [Specialty] ads caught my eye
  • Preview text: Quick question about your booking process
  • Body:

Hi [First Name],

I noticed [Clinic Name] is running Facebook ads for [service/offer]. The creative looks solid, but I couldn’t find a direct, HIPAA-compliant scheduling link.

Most clinics lose 30–40% of ad clicks because the booking process feels like a generic form fill. We help clinics turn those same clicks into booked consultations—without increasing ad spend.

Worth a 10-minute call to see if this fits your patient flow?

[Your Name]

Touch 2 — Day 3 (Follow-up with a different angle)

  • Subject: 2-3% conversion or 5%?
  • Preview text: A quick idea to improve your ad ROI
  • Body:

[First Name] — quick follow-up.

I ran a quick check and saw [Clinic Name]’s ads point to [landing page observation, e.g., a generic home page]. Most clinics running similar ads see 2–3% of clicks turn into booked appointments. The clinics we work with hit 5–7% by adding a simple, automated SMS follow-up when someone fills out the form.

Would you be open to seeing how that would look for [Clinic Name]?

[Your Name]

Touch 3 — Day 7 (Final breakup)

  • Subject: One last thing on patient acquisition
  • Preview text: A case study you might find useful
  • Body:

[First Name], I know you’re slammed.

If patient acquisition from ads is a priority, here’s a case study of a [similar specialty] clinic that increased booked consultations by 60% in 90 days—without touching their ad budget. Just by plugging the gaps between click and appointment.

[Link to case study]

If this sparks interest, I’m around. If not, I’ll leave you to it.

[Your Name]

These messages work because they speak to a specific frustration: ads are running, money is being spent, but the phone isn’t ringing nearly enough. The tone is consultative, not salesy, and every message references something specific to the clinic (ad presence, landing page behavior, specialty).

Customize the bracketed fields before pasting into Origami. If you’re using Origami’s agent to generate the sequence, it will automatically fill in clinic and contact details from the enriched profile—so you get true personalization at scale.


Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

This is where Origami saves you from the usual tool-switching chaos. You build the list, refine it, write (or generate) the sequence, and send it—all in one platform. No exporting to a separate outreach tool, no CSV imports, no syncing across three tabs.

Launching the campaign

Once your sequence is set, you configure the delays. For Medical Clinics Running Ads, a Day 1 → Day 3 → Day 7 cadence works well. Owners and marketing managers are busy; a same-week follow-up keeps you top of mind without feeling pushy. If your offer is urgent (e.g., a limited audit), you could tighten to Day 1 → Day 2 → Day 5.

Inside the Sequencer tab, you’ll paste your templates (or accept the AI-generated ones), set the timing, connect your email provider (Gmail/Google Workspace, Outlook, or any SMTP), and hit Launch. Origami queues the emails and sends them on schedule. You don’t need to log in every day to trigger the next step.

Tracking and context—all in one view

After launch, your dashboard shows opens, clicks, and replies per contact. But unlike standalone email tools, Origami gives you full prospect context next to every activity. While looking at a contact’s opens and clicks, you can still see their enriched profile: title, company, ad platforms used, tools in their tech stack. That means when someone clicks twice but hasn’t replied, you know exactly why you reached out—and whether a manual follow-up makes sense.

Automatic un-enrollment—no more awkward ‘breakup’ to a booked call

If a lead replies, Origami automatically removes them from the sequence. You’ll never send a final breakup email to someone who already agreed to a meeting. This seems small, but if you’ve ever scrambled to manually pause a sequence after a positive reply, you know it’s a lifesaver.

Sequencer cost: send free, pay only for enrichment

On all paid plans, the sequencer is included. You don’t pay per email sent. You’re only paying for credits used to enrich leads (finding emails, verifying them, pulling company data). The sending itself is free. So once you’ve enriched your list, sending a 3-touch campaign costs you nothing extra. Free plan users can build lists and test credits but need a paid plan for the sequencer.

What response rate to expect for medical clinics running ads

With a tightly qualified list (see Step 2) and the sequence above, you can expect:

  • Open rates: 40–60% for well-warmed sending domains. Medical clinic decision-makers often check email on mobile and open direct, relevant subject lines.
  • Reply rate: 7–12% across all touches. Some replies will be objections (“not interested”) but many will be genuine curiosity—especially if your sequence references their ads specifically.
  • Meeting booked rate: 2–4% of contacted leads will convert to a call. That’s 2–4 meetings per 100 emails sent, which is solid for a cold outreach campaign targeting SMBs.

If your reply rate dips below 5%, don’t panic. Tweak the messaging first—try different subject lines, different pain angles, or a shorter cadence. If rates stay low after two message iterations, the problem is usually your list. Go back to Step 1 and tighten your targeting: filter for clinics with higher ad activity, more recent spend, or a specialty that better matches your offer.


Next Steps

You have the list. You have the sequence. Now execute:

  1. If you haven’t already, build (or refresh) your list in Origami using the prompt from Step 1.
  2. Spend 20 minutes cutting bad fits and segmenting your leads as described in Step 2.
  3. Paste the 3-touch sequence into Origami’s sequencer—or let the AI generate a personalized version for you.
  4. Connect your email, set Day 1 / Day 3 / Day 7 delays, and launch.
  5. Watch the dashboard for replies. When someone responds, they’ll drop out of the sequence automatically, and you can pick up the conversation.

The whole workflow—from list to meeting booker—happens inside one platform. No more switching between a data tool, a verification service, and an outreach tool. That’s the power of Origami handling the full flywheel.
