No magic - just our painstaking joint work on the site
This case considers plastic surgeon's website creation and promotion. It will help young doctors who are thinking about a personal website and want to understand the process of its creation and what should be considered to maximize the involvement of patients.
It is a mistake to think that today it is enough to create a ”fancy” account on a social network and attract patients from there. Let's first understand why a young doctor needs a website.
- In order for the user to understand how to solve his problem, they need to find information - articles written by a doctor, but in plain language, explaining all the nuances of treatment and warnings about side effects, if there are any. Informational queries lead future patients to the sites of specialized medical specialists. Read this article to the end to see the result.
- The website works better than word-of-mouth marketing. Here you can show all the doctor's certificates in special blocks, tell about their experience, which of their colleagues they work with, which special training they passed. Photos are very important: they show the workplace, the doctor themself, the staff who help them, and successfully treated patients (if they give permission to publish such information).
- The site allows you to gather contacts of patients who want to ask any questions from a professional.
- Important method of promotion for a doctor practicing in a certain city is geo-targeting — with this, the website is focused on the target audience of a particular region. You also can advertise certain pages with services.
- We recommend that you collect the best useful articles, publications for narrow medical journals and even scientific papers on your site (with reference to the source). This is your business card: the more expertise you show, the better.
Social networks are good, but you can get banned there, your account could get hacked, and it's hard to pick up old records there. In addition, it is quite difficult to answer questions in detail and fully in social networks. We are not saying that social networks are not important. They are! But the site is your "face", you can easily and quickly find all the information about you. The main thing is to make sure that it is really easy and quick to find :)
