Tip 1: Be Social on Social Media

If you’re not on social media, you should jump on that bandwagon today. The sooner you get a social presence, the better. People use Facebook, Instagram, and others to find new brands, watch videos, see comments, learn about businesses, and much more. 

Here’s what to have on your social accounts:

Tip 3: Update Your Website 

Your website is more than just a one-and-done situation. Think of it as an evolving digital marketing tactic that keeps your users up-to-date. Continue to add new images, videos, and content as you grow and change. 

And don’t underestimate the effect testimonials have on potential patients. Keep adding them to your site, so your visitors know how great you are. 

Pro tip: Ask current patients to detail their experience with you on video and toss it up on a relevant page. (Example: a video of someone who had sciatica would go up on your sciatica page.)

Tip 4: Create Engaging Email Campaigns

Email campaigns are great at getting new patients and keeping existing ones. Once you’ve got an email address, keep the contact going with emails that tell of new services, events, promotions, education, etc. 

Also, emails give your base a little reminder that you’re here. 

Tip 5: Collect  Good Reviews 

Good reviews are the backbone of a solid patient base. No matter how significant your online presence is, how wonderful your website is, how many certifications you have if you have bad reviews, it’s all for not. 

Make leaving reviews easy for your patients, and then add them to your website, social media, emails, etc.

Tip 6: Engage Through Content 

When you promote engagement online, you’re engaging with your community. Create excellent content that generates audience participation. You can do this through educational, entertaining, helpful, and inspiring content. 

Pro tip: If you want to get some fun going, offer games, challenges, questions, chances to win, etc. 

Tip 7: Host Events

Take your engagement offline by hosting wellness seminars or classes. When you invite industry-related guests to your clinic to talk about relevant matters, you get a larger audience and networking props that can lead to great partnerships and further growth online and off. 

Tip 8: Get Listed on Online Directories 

Don’t forget to get your contact information on all the online directories and ensure your NAP (name, address, phone) is correct in each place.

Tip 9: E.A.T.

You want to stand out online with E (expertise), A (authoritativeness), and T (trustworthiness). This is something that Google actually looks for when considering the results it shows. 

You can do this by offering only reliable and honest content. But another great way is to get your business involved with other established (and related) businesses. Think about hosting them or writing for them. If you have online publications, that’s a big win and tells the search engines you’re reputable. 

Tip 10: Give Lectures 

Remember when you hosted someone from the wellness community at your clinic? Now it’s their turn to host you. Or, host yourself. But get out there and give lectures, workshops, or classes on healthcare topics you know about. 

Tip 11: Create Videos 

Chiropractors can that show many aspects of their business. From showing proper movement patterns to exercises to stretches to services to workstation setup, you can truly take the reins with video.

You don’t have to have all the fancy lights and cameras. Smartphones are great these days. Start there, and if you feel the need for an upgrade in the future, you can make the move. 

Tip 12: Video Testimonials 

Written reviews are wonderful and necessary, but video testimonials take that up a notch. Giving life and personification to your patients tell other similar patients that you can help them, but more than that, video testimonials really stand out. 

The more you can set yourself apart from your competition, the better for you (providing the reasons are good, of course).

Tip 15: Build Relationships and Partnerships

This is another opportunity to get your clinic in front of more potential patients as you get more recognition and enhance your E.A.T.

Partnerships provide more networking possibilities, too.
