Healthcare Marketing Services That Deliver
An effective digital marketing strategy is vital to the success of any business, including those operating within the healthcare industry. Healthcare marketing services that align with business and practice goals can make all the difference.
Unfortunately, far too many care providers neglect digital marketing. This neglect is understandable, as navigating HIPAA regulations, federal guidelines, and other pertinent legal restrictions can be incredibly difficult.
However, modern patients expect to be able to connect with providers in the digital realm. Therefore, primary care doctors, family physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and any other clinicians must market their services in the digital ecosystem if they want to attract new clients and grow their practices.
That is why clinicians need a knowledgeable and experienced partner like Growth Squad in their corner to provide professional healthcare marketing services. We explore the current state of digital marketing as it applies to the healthcare industry and identify some of the most common challenges that healthcare entities encounter when launching their digital marketing strategies.
Growth Squad can help you overcome market share barriers, expand your reach, and better serve patients in need.
Examining the Current State of Healthcare Marketing
Like just about every other industry in existence, the healthcare sector is going digital. Technologies are beginning to permeate just about every touchpoint along the patient care process.
Providers are digitizing patient care records, sending test results electronically, and allowing individuals to take advantage of self-service tools like online appointment scheduling. As the industry and humanity as a whole move towards a technology-centric society, it is vital that providers meet their patients where they are most active — the internet.
This approach means developing and implementing a cohesive digital marketing strategy that leverages social media, websites, local business pages, and other digital communication mediums.
Providers who do this most effectively will gain a competitive edge over clinicians who cling to antiquated marketing and advertising practices.
Common Healthcare Industry Marketing Pain Points
If you want to launch and maintain a productive digital marketing campaign, then you must successfully navigate several pain points that are unique to the healthcare industry. These challenges include:
HIPAA regulations can sometimes limit your ability to utilize powerful advertising tools — such as pay-per-click (PPC) advertising — as medical providers are generally prohibited from retargeting website visitors. This restriction is due to concerns that such activity may inadvertently violate patients’ privacy rights that are guaranteed under HIPAA.
In light of this fact, Growth Squad relies on other proven digital marketing tactics when working with clients in the healthcare industry.
These strategies include search engine optimization, local business citations, and social media-based marketing. Cumulatively, these methods will allow you to reach a broader audience while simultaneously maintaining compliance with HIPAA requirements.
In most cases, consumers and patients put more stock in reviews from other clients than they do your own advertising materials. This reliance means that a few negative patient reviews can damage your reputation and offset your digital marketing efforts.
Growth Squad can help you avoid this common digital marketing pitfall with our reputation management services. These services will increase your awareness of what patients are saying about your practice and which review sites they are using.
One of the primary goals of digital marketing is to drive patients to your website. However, you must provide them with an enjoyable browsing experience once they make it to your webpage. If your website is clunky, unresponsive, or poorly designed, potential patients may promptly leave your page and turn to your competitors.
At Growth Squad, we understand just how important a great website is to the success of your practice. That is why we offer comprehensive web design and hosting solutions that will provide your patients with a world-class browsing experience.
