1. Knowing Your Patients

You can’t expect to effectively market yourself as a doctor without knowing the patients you intend to serve. You have to know what your patients desire, and once you’ve laid this groundwork, everything else becomes a significantly easier task. By using the knowledge of your patients, you can curate services that are specifically tailored to what they need and you can develop marketing that resonates with them.  

2. Using Your Website as a Digital Home

Don’t neglect your website! Consider it the digital version of your clinic. Create an environment where users come straight to your website to have their questions answered and that users feel comfortable navigating. At VIS Health, we specialise in creating bespoke websites that highlight the services you offer clearly. We also can help you to create a professional, yet warm and inviting digital home that provides a simple and easy experience for all your patients.

SEO is crucial for enhancing your website’s visibility allowing patients to find your website for the services they need. Luckily at VIS Health, our speciality is SEO.

4. Utilising Google Ads 

Google ads are an excellent way to advertise and promote your clinic’s services. By using google ads you can create eye-catching content that directs people straight to your website, generating more traffic. We can place ads anywhere from search engine results to even videos and mobile ads, helping to expand the reach of your clinic.

5. Social Media 

As a doctor, it can often feel like social media doesn’t make sense for your practice to utilise. However, it’s crucial for doctors to build an effective social media platform to generate buzz around your clinic and help you rise above the competitors as a trusted source for medical treatment and knowledge. Social media can help you engage with your patients by taking part in conversation, making your doctors feel more personable and as a result, more trustworthy. The social media gurus at VIS Health can help you create a diverse social presence that attracts and engages potential patients across all platforms such as instagram and facebook.

6. Content Creation

The content you cultivate helps to build trust and authority as a leading figure for information in the medical world. By creating both high-quality and relevant content that engages and builds a trusting relationship, you attract potential patients and turn them into loyal patients. At VIS Health, we can help you create compelling content that creates more engagement and as a result, more patients.
