DIGITAL MARKETING SOLUTIONS FOR VETERINARIANS & ANIMAL DOCTORS

Looking for proven marketing tips and strategies to grow your vet clinic?

Let us take your practice from being the underdog to the leader of the pack in your area.

Whether you’re a veterinarian, veterinary technologist or technician, veterinary assistant or laboratory animal caretaker, or you manage administrative tasks and marketing for a veterinary practice, you’ve probably noticed that the veterinary industry has become increasingly competitive in recent years. A mix of factors such as a growing pet population, the aging of the pet population and expanding pet treatment options are all working together to drive up consumer demand for the best veterinary services.

As the veterinary field becomes more crowded, it becomes harder for individual practitioners to stand out and attract new patients. Unless you’re Doctor Dolittle, your target audience isn’t your patients but rather their human parents. And pet parents are understandably particular and guarded about who they let care for their beloved furry/feathered/scaly animal companions. You only have 1 shot to make a good first impression, which is why it’s essential that veterinary professionals begin building trust, expertise and authenticity from the moment the visitor lands on their website.

Another important part of growing your practice is being accessible to pet owners when and where they need you—which increasingly involves digital marketing and SEO. Even if a new patient is a “walk-in,” odds are that they’ve already done some research and found your practice online by searching “veterinarians near me” or simply “vets near me.”

In fact, over 90 percent of people who visit a local business (including veterinary clinics) do an online search first.

Pet owners tend to take their time and do their research when it comes to finding the right person to care for their beloved animal companion. Digital marketing is all about making sure your practice is in the right place, at the right time, to be found by the right person.

Veterinary clinic Marketing strategies & Tactics

Building trust online with a new prospective pet owner can be a challenge; however, there are ways to show that your practice is professional, experienced and trustworthy before you meet face-to-face. At Brown Bag, we can help establish trust and build your reputation as a top-notch veterinary practice through the following digital marketing tactics and strategies:

Reviews and testimonials

One of the main things people look out for when evaluating a business is online reviews and testimonials from past and current clients. We can help you solicit clients for positive feedback and feature it prominently on your website in order to show others that you practice what you preach.

Content Marketing

Your story is what makes your practice unique. We can help you connect with local pet owners by answering top questions and sharing why your clinic is special. For example, a well-crafted page or set of pages showcasing your friendly staff and vet professionals can help make people feel comfortable with their “pet doctor” and take the next step by becoming a loyal client.

Reputation management

Digital marketing isn’t just about managing your own website, but also about managing the online reputation of your brand. We have tools, tricks and techniques to effectively keep track of what people are saying about your business and how to respond—whether it’s on social media, Yelp, Angie’s List, Google or any of the many other reviews sites.

Responsive Design

Most people use their smartphones and mobile devices to research products and services these days. If your website isn’t responsive, you risk making pet owners frustrated by the user experience and completely missing all of the qualities that make you the best at what you do. In addition to adapting to the user’s device, web design that draws their attention with happy looking canines and felines will do wonders for your practice.
