Effective Online Marketing Within the Medical Industry

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Medical practices have very specific online marketing needs and require analytical breakdowns of who we are reaching. Many come in having negative experiences with pay per click and other campaigns. Working with LocaliQ, we have online dashboards and liaisons who help us evaluate trends, answer questions and trouble shoot on a regular basis. I usually serve as the conduit between LocaliQ and my medical clients so I can best serve their need to know without taking too much of their time. My LocaliQ contacts have been excellent -- in fact I've worked with one of them for over a decade now so I truly trust her!

Pros

  • Provide real time data
  • Walks us through issues, step by step
  • Simplifies rather complex service offerings

Cons

  • More offerings for smaller clients that require smaller campaigns
  • Continued effort to simplify online jargon
  • Providing abbreviated talking points allowing me to educate clients using these services for the first time

Return on Investment

  • Steady growth trends after the first two months
  • Had one OB/GYN practice with more than 100 calls per month
