How to Market Your Private Medical Practice

Getting patients to your private practice is a big challenge. Even if you provide quality care, you can lose money if you don’t receive enough patients. Ultimately, you’re running a business, meaning marketing is vital for a private medical office. Many rules of marketing for small businesses apply to private medical practices. Furthermore, there are a few steps you can take to market your private practice and improve your medical office space. 

Well-Designed Websites

The internet is a place filled with vast amounts of information, business, and opportunity. According to the CDC, 58.5% of US adults use the internet to look for health or medical information. Additionally, 41.5% use it to communicate with a doctor or doctor’s office. What this means is that it is vital to have a well-designed website. So that patients can both contact you and also schedule with your practice. At MedCoShare, we help market our members’ practices with aesthetic and functional websites through our services branch.

Optimize Your Website

Now, your website might be functional and visually appealing. However, you might wonder why you are getting little traffic despite that. The reason is that you still need to compete with others in the space. You must optimize your website through Search Engine Optimization or SEO. SEO is a process where you improve your website such that the search engine favors your website, driving more organic traffic. According to BrightEdge, SEO drives 1000%+ more traffic than organic social media. RockContent additionally says that moving up even one spot on a search engine ranking page can improve click-through rates by over 30%. 

Some simple SEO tips include incorporating relevant keywords on your website, starting a blog, and reaching out to others for backlinks. Applying these simple strategies can improve your medical website’s ranking and attract more patients to your practice. MedCoShare provides medical office spaces for rent but can also elevate your website’s ranking with MCS Services.

Expand Your Online Presence

Marketing yourself doesn’t stop at a good website. It is important to stretch yourself to as many places on the internet as possible. Approximately 62% of the world’s population is on social media. Post medical content and advice to reach a larger audience. Promote your office space and practice to share differences that separate you from the competition. And don’t stop there. Get on medical forums and public forums seeking medical advice. Reach out to other professionals as well. The larger your online presence is, the greater your chances of finding new patients. 

In conclusion, marketing is important for your practice as it drives business and keeps your doors open. And with some simple steps, you can get more eyes on your office. With the help of MedCoShare Services, making a well-designed and optimized website is a simple task. Start now at MedCoShare Services.

Being a new small business owner in the midst of a pandemic, MedCoShare has been a blessing.  Where else could I start a business, build clients, and have a flexible membership with no long-term commitments for peace of mind during the uncertainty?!  If business speeds up or slows down then I can adjust my membership accordingly.
