Internet's Leading Directory of Veterinary Practices Achieves Major Milestone by Adding 3,000th Listing
|
Dr. Bruce Little, recently retired Executive Vice President of the AVMA, who helped launch LocalVets.com, notes "people are increasingly choosing the internet over the Yellow Pages--to find the things they need. |
LocalVets.com allows veterinary practices to take advantage of these trends by providing a risk-free way for practices to connect with pet owners who are looking for them online. Given that thousands of pet owners now visit our site every day looking for a local veterinarian, we know that that our veterinary clients are on the right track with LocalVets.com." LocalVets.com combines sophisticated technology and simple usability. Unlike traditional advertising, practices can list on the service for free, and pay a small fee when a consumer calls. This insures that the program always pays for itself. Each practice that lists in LocalVets.com is able to provide a detailed description with photos, doctors' bios, services provided, accreditations, and more. Practices may also listen to recorded customer calls for the purposes of tracking the |
success of the program and improving the effectiveness of their front-office staff. Practices that use LocalVets.com have benefited equally from new customer relationships as well as the call recordings and classifications. Sue Prowse, practice manager at the award-winning University Veterinary Hospital in Phoenix, AZ relates that in addition to bringing in new clients, "LocalVets.com has become one of our core tools for improving our practice. We now meet with our team weekly to review calls together, see how we're doing, and identify ways in which we can improve. It pays for itself many, many times over." LocalVets.com is still open to adding new practices who want to get listed, and can be reached at 1-888-323-8387 or info@localvets.com. |
