Do you have a weight loss practice, but would like to increase the patient count at your business? You need to engage in weight loss clinic marketing at your practice. At PatientGain.com, we’ve helped many clients in your medical field with their websites, social media marketing, repeat client marketing, digital advertising for medical weight loss and overall increasing the number of patients they see at their weight loss clinic. There are some key steps you can take at your clinic to improve your business.
1. Optimized Website
Your website needs to be user-friendly, informative, load quickly, and automatically be formatted to any screen it is viewed on. Users should have the same experience on desktop, mobile, or tablet devices. Separate websites for separate devices are cumbersome and inefficient. Present content that is useful and informative to your weight loss patients to educate them on the services you offer. This will generate better quality leads for your practice and improve your overall search rankings.
2. Claim online profiles
Create or claim your business profiles on these critical websites: Google, Yelp, Bing, and Foursquare. These directories provide business data to the vast majority of mapping services and other online apps. Incorrect or missing information can make it harder for patients to find your clinic and hurts your overall search rankings. Ensure the following is up to date:
- Name of your clinic
- Hours of operation
- Address
- Phone Number
- Services
- The location indicated on a map
- Photos of your clinic
These profiles are also where you will receive and manage your online reviews.
3. Paid online advertising (Google, Facebook, Instagram)
The organic reach of your weight loss clinic may need some additional support to reach your target audience. Paid ads allow you to reach people who use search terms that you may not currently rank well for, at least not yet. Your online ads will appear above organic search results and a map of nearby businesses. These are your first chances to get in front of eyes that may need your services. Even if you do rank well for a search term organically, it may be in your benefit to appear three times to a potential patient: Paid results, map results, and organic results. If your business appears these three times to a prospective patient, it is a powerful visual cue that your weight loss clinic is ready to help.
4. Patient engagement Via social media
Social media is a great way to connect with your current patients and reach potentially new ones. You should create and fill out social media profiles and update them with content, news, promotions, and updates from your weight loss clinic. Achieve a balance between posts that talk about your services and news that may interest your clients. While you do not need to have a presence on all of these social media profiles, some of the most popular channels, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Some weight loss clinics have found Snapchat, Tic Tok, and Pinterest to be useful as well.
