Marketing Strategy

Akin to your surgical plan, your marketing strategy identifies your goals and develops a plan to achieve them.

High converting website

Referring GPs and patients check you out online long before they decide to use your services. Your website needs to reflect your personality, approach to surgery and patient care.We help you improve your online presence by making it easy for doctors to refer to you or patients to book. We also improve local SEO, Google rankings and educational content.

Content Creation

Content marketing enables you to share your expertise with referring GPs and prospective patients, answering their likely questions and establishing your credibility.We write content that expresses your personality and complies with industry standards. That content could be ebooks, patient brochures, infographics, video, emails (EDMs) and blog articles.

Search engine optimisation (SEO)

There’s no point being on page 2 of Google. Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the careful, ongoing process of increasing your Google rankings to increase your visibility to patients and referring doctors.

Social media

Used well, social media can be a highly effective marketing tool that can be tailored to your location and ideal audiences. We use social media channels to share content relevant to your field, educate your audience, share topical health news and promote your practice.

Pay per click (PPC) advertising

Even with a small budget, you can achieve a lot through pay per click ads on Facebook or Google.

Acquisition strategies

Acquisition marketing is about driving people to your practice to increase bookings and achieve your marketing goals.
