Veterinary marketing helps you show the world what you do best—provide top tier veterinary care for pets in your area. Marketing is the ideal way to share information with people who are searching for it (and for the services you provide). Test out these veterinarian marketing ideas to be sure that users can find you when they need you:

Create a Custom Website

Your veterinary website serves as your business card, your digital waiting room, and your first impression for potential customers who might find you in a web search. Using a custom website (not a template) is one of the best ways to showcase your business and what makes it special. This means having a unique design that highlights your branding, but also creating custom content that expresses your voice as a practice. Don’t know where to get started on a new custom website? Don’t worry, we can help!

Expand Your Reach with Pay-Per-Click Ads

Veterinary SEO helps you optimize your website to entice new organic visitors to find you based on keywords, website speed, mobile responsiveness, and other technical factors. If you want to spread your reach even farther, though, you should put some focus on pay-per-click advertising. Putting advertising dollars behind your veterinary marketing efforts means that you can target specific audiences who are the most likely to become clients. You can also make sure your name and your brand reach even farther than they ever have before. 

Showcase Your Client’s Pets on Social Media

Working in a veterinary clinic gives you easy access to a hugely effective marketing tool: cute animal pictures. Sharing your client’s pet pictures on your social media platforms is a quick and simple way to get a lot of engagement from your followers. The more engagement you get, the more your content will be seen. You can also have photo contests to encourage people to share photos (and engage with your page). You might want to add a photo sharing consent line to your intake paperwork to ensure that you have permission to use these photos when you want to. 

Use a Blog to Educate Clients

Blogs are great tools for consistently adding new content to your website, and you can also use them to educate your clients and show your expertise in your field. Try to write at least one blog a month to help your SEO efforts. Think about questions you hear a lot in your practice, and write a blog post that answers the question. This allows you to educate current and new pet owners while making yourself their top source for pet health information. It’ll make you more likely to rank highly in web searches, too.

Introduce Your Team

New and potential clients love to truly get to know who you are as a practice, and there’s no better way to do that than to feature the smiling faces of your hard-working team. Personal touches like this help you make the transition from being seen as a business to a partner in pet care. Here are a few ways you can showcase your team and add a personal feel to your veterinary marketing:

• Social media posts
• Staff bios on your website
• Add a Meet the Doctor highlight to your home page (or make it a blog series)

Digital marketing has grown complex over the last 30 years. In the beginning, each platform worked in isolation in a silo effect. As human needs for the internet grew, technology changed to meet them. With easier access to the internet, various platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Google, Bing etc.) started to shift—and to pick up “cues” from each other. After years of growth (and coding ), everything on the internet connects to put the world at our fingertips. They work together like the four wheels of a car. Understanding how everything works is essential to driving an effective digital marketing strategy.
