Example 6 Google Paid Search

How do Google Adwords work? (Also known as Google PPC)

Google Adwords are a based on bidding algorithm developed by Google in early 2000 and is being constantly updated by Google. In the world of online advertising, it is considered to be the GOLD standard. Details of the algorithms are a highly guarded secret. However, Google provides insights and guidelines for marketing and advertising professionals.  Each search on google search may display “ads” in response to the search initiated by a user.  There are more than 200 factors that determine the placement of the ad by the bidding algorithm, however, generally, higher the bid price, the higher the display position ranking of the Ad. Another good feature of these ads is that you (bidder = doctor, clinic, practice)  only pay if a user clicks on your ads, hence the name ‘pay per click’ or PPC.

Example 7 Advertising on Facebook 

Unlike Google PPC ads where users are delivered healthcare ads based on information they’re seeking, Facebook ads interrupt a user’s news feed. When creating an audience for your healthcare ads, your aim is to group together people who are likely interested in what you do.

If you haven’t already, it’s especially helpful to define your ideal patient. If you’re a primary care physician, you may treat a wide range of patients ages 18 to 55, but an 18-year-old likely wouldn’t respond to the same ad that a 55-year-old would. Building Facebook audiences that align with your ideal patients can help you tailor your ad copy so they’re most effective. With Facebook advertising, you can also build audiences based on geographic location and even likes and interests.

You can also add a pixel to your dental website  in order to retarget your web visitors with your Facebook ads. The Facebook pixel is a small piece of code that you, your website engineer, or a Facebook Marketing Partner can paste into your website code. Presumably, someone who was browsing your website was interested in learning more about you and was looking for a doctor. By retargeting them with your ads on Facebook, you can stay top of mind.

Example 8 Advertising on Instagram

Most Doctors Ask Us: Do I Need to Advertise? The Quick Answer is Yes, if You Want to Compete Online With Your Competitors.

As a practice manager, you have to focus on 1. Offline traditional advertising and 2. Internet online advertising.  As majority of the patients search for medical services online, healthcare advertising for doctors using the internet is on the rise.  We highly recommend online advertising for 99 percent of healthcare medical practices.   Our data shows consistent increase in patient count and overall business improvement. In some cases we have to stop online advertising for our customers (physicians & medical practice) reason : they could not handle the volume of new patients.

How Much Do Doctors Spend on Advertising?

The actual advertising budget for each clinic and practice is different. Some clinics/doctors are very aggressive and spend $1000 per day (or more) and some spend $1000 a month on advertising. We also have few clinics/doctors who do not spend any money on online advertising, they doctors rely on referrals and very strong SEO rankings. Also you have to understand that every practice area is different. For example for Medspa and plastic surgeons, it is next to impossible to be successful without proper online  advertising budget. The typical range is $3000 to $15000 per month,  with average budget of $6677 per practice in USA. Urgent cares in USA: The typical range is $1000 to $7000 per month,  spend on average spend $2600 per month per location.  However these are “average” locations with medium competition.  Primary care doctors spend $600 to $1300 per month, with an average monthly budget of $890 per month.  Pediatric practices: The typical range is $600 to $1600 per month,  spend on average spend $900 per month per location.  Sexual health practices: The typical range is $3000 to $8500 per month,  spend on average spend $4200 per month per location.
