Your Practice Needs Social Media Marketing
Medical & dental practices need a social media program because people are active discussing medical & dental treatments and practices online and it’s important for your practice to not only monitor what is happening, but to actually engage in the conversation and establish itself as a local, authoritative source of information and solutions.
By becoming an authority though active engagement your practice benefits in multiple ways:
- ONLINE BRANDING: Your practice will gain online authority with search engines, which will result in increase ranking on search engine result pages (SERPs). Not only will your practice website likely be ranked higher, but also your practice’s profile and contact information on social media sties, microsites, and local directories.
- NEW PATIENT ACQUISITION: Your practice will gain online authority, which will generate leads and new patients directly from Social Media activity.
- INCREASED PRODUCTION: Your practice will gain notoriety that can boost staff morale, which in turn can increase production.
Social Media
The influential power of social media is unmatched – and is one of the most effective ways for medical and dental practices to connect with current and prospective patients. Social media marketing can benefit your practice in numerous ways, such as:
Increased Brand Awareness – By integrating a cohesive design throughout your website and various social media outlets, you help patients better identify and associate with your practice.
Increased Rankings – Search engines respond favorably to those who maintain an active social media account. When your social media pages are linked to your website, you can help increase your rankings on search engine results pages.
Positive Reviews – 75% of medical and dental patients are influenced by reviews left on social media sites. By gathering positive reviews, your fans help prospective patients decide on you as their provider of choice.
Referral Source – As your “friends” and “followers” post the positive experiences they’ve had with you on their pages, they spread the word about your practice to their individual networks. This helps help drive more prospective patients to your social media pages and website, which ultimately brings more business to your practice.
Social Media Account Setup – It’s important to setup your business social networking accounts properly so you don’t violate the rules established by Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other sites. All social networks have one thing in common – zero live support. Mistakes are not easily undone, and setting up a business account the wrong way could get your account terminated. Fortunately, ProSites can handle all of the setup for you (so you can focus on running your practice).
