Best Search Engine Marketing SEM Tips For Veterinarians & Emergency Animal Hospitals.

Last updated 2 months ago

Figuring out how to integrate an online media strategy for your Veterinary Practice or Emergency Animal Hospital will take a little work on your part. However, it can have an immediate impact on your bottom line. Search engine marketing (SEM) also known as Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is a foundational piece of your online media strategy and that's what we are focusing on today. So, what are the best online marketing tips for Veterinarians & Emergency Animal Hospitals?

  • Advertise On The 3 Major Search Engines - Think outside the Google box.  Even though Yahoo & Bing represent less than 28% of all online traffic, it's a huge opportunity.  Typically we see a lower cost per visit which leads to a lower cost to acquire when advertising on Yahoo & Bing as well.
  • How Far Away From Your Practice Do Clients Drive To See You? - With Veterinary practices & Emergency Animal Hospitals, typically a 10-15 mile radius around your practice works best. For a specialty practice such as equine or cat vet clinic it might be appropriate to market up to a 25-35 mile radius successfully.
  • Practice Specialties - When setting up your search engine marketing campaign, think about what makes your practice unique in the marketplace. Focus your time, energy & dollars going after the most profitable parts of your practice. Not all customers are created equal, right? Focus on what you want, not what you can get. 
  • Keyword Research & Generation - Keyword generation is one of the most critical components in this process. Earlier we spoke about focusing your time and energy on the services and practice specialties that are most profitable for you. That is where you begin outlining what keyword groupings you need to develop. If you start off with a list of 50 keywords and phrases, that can easily turn into 200 - 400 after you run them through a keyword generation tool.
  • Location, Location, Location - Once you get your keyword list of 200 - 400 created, now it's time to add city or geo modifiers to your list. If you are advertising in the Denver area, you might want to add Denver, Aurora, Highland Ranch to each of the keywords to make them more targeted and relevant.
  • Powerful & Descriptive Text Ads - Don't be common or boring. Think about your practice and what sets you aside from everyone else.  Incorporate that into your text ad. Your text ad is meant to do two things, invite people into your site or keep them out. Who are you writing it for? Here is a great example of a text ad that one of my Veterinary Practices has used with amazing success.
