Increase your digital footprint and gain more traction from your online audience with effective SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Simply put, it’s what places someone’s content and/or website higher or lower in the search results when someone ‘Googles it’.
With an ever-growing online society, more patients are turning to the internet and online search engines to research and source medical providers. It’s not enough to just have a website or social media, they need to be living, breathing, and evolving engagement platforms. Treating your digital space as a clickable business card or brochure will not effectively help patients find you or feel confident in choosing you.
A survey commissioned by Doctors.com, found that of the 1,700 U.S. adults interviewed, 80% utilized the internet for health care related searches in the past year. Additionally, the study showed that 63% of participants would make their provider choice based on which provider had a stronger online presence.
