In 2011, more than 80% of pet owners looking for a veterinarian will find one online. Having a presence on the internet has become essential to your clinic's ability to attract new patients and stay competitive in the marketplace.

The question becomes as a clinic owner, how do you simplify your veterinary marketing and make sure your practice is easily found online? First, you need to be aware of the patient owner's mindset. As a pet owner, the typical approach used when looking for something online is to go through a search engine. There are two types of search results that search engines like Google can produce: organic search results and paid search results. Most businesses can't afford to write checks to ensure top positions on paid search results, so a better approach may be to engage in a practice called Search Engine Optimization. Achieving SEO is a function of applying some very basic approaches to the content and design of your website.

If you want faster, more stable traffic, paying for veterinary advertising is a great way to attract new business. Most major advertising solutions offer simplified packages for businesses, such as LocalVets.com. Patients come to LocalVets.com and can find a local veterinarian through the service and call directly to book an appointment. Using voice recognition technology, doctors and hospital administrators then use the phone calls they receive to train staff and monitor their constant flow of new patients. Through monthly analytics and call recordings, business owners can monitor and train their staff and most importantly improve conversion from inquiry calls into business. New patient acquisition is the bottom line for any clinic owner and LocalVets.com provides the best way to do that!
