1. Online Appointment Scheduling
90% of visitors who read your headline also read your call-to-action
Best practices for online appointment buttons:
- Red, orange, or green buttons work best. Just make sure it stands out from the rest of the webpage.
- This button should be the top right corner of your menu 100% of the time. No exclusions.
- On main pages like your homepage, offer the button 3-4 times (more than that can actually decreases results!)
- Buttons that open pop ups work much better than forms directly in the page.
2. Clear “Call Now” Buttons
Many visitors still prefer to talk to healthcare professionals in person. But what’s more amazing is, those people often call on their first visit – much faster than the 5-7 visits that need to happen before someone signs up online.
Make sure it’s easy to call you especially from mobile devices!
3. Search Engine Optimization
Your website is only a strong digital marketing tool if people can find it online. Some people may search for your practice’s name, but over 80% will search for a more general term, such as “chiropractor near me” or “back pain help.”
4. Local Listings Integration
5. Recent Positive Reviews
6. Blogs & Lead Magnets
Blog posts increase traffic to your website by attracting visitors who are searching for content about chiropractic care via Google and other search engines.
Once visitors arrive to your blogs, lead magnets such as free ebooks draw leads to connect with you, grow your prospect list, display your expertise on specific conditions the visitor might need help with, and even increase the perceived value of your services!
7. Unique Page for Each Condition You Treat
Instead, build detailed pages on each condition or specialty with plenty of “rich” content, testimonials, and calls to action.
This does 2 things: First, it makes Google recognize you as an expert in a variety of topics. Second, it builds trust with visitors by speaking directly to the pain they are experiencing.
8. Online Bill Pay
Online bill pay makes the customer’s experience with you easier & improves collections. After all… why not give them as many ways to pay you as possible?
9. Mobile-Friendly Design
- Simplify everything – reduce the amount of sections on each page to what’s most important.
- Replace Videos with still images where possible
- Focus on encouraging phone calls… they’re already on a phone!
Not only that… Google checks your mobile speed FIRST, so your site also needs to have updated technology in the base code (or back end) that keeps it fast.
10. Automated Chiropractic Chatbot
Consumers are more and more impatient. Today, most consumers don’t choose the “Best” solution as often as they choose the first to respond.
Answer your website visitors basic questions automatically with a friendly chiropractor’s Chatbot!
11. Analytics & Reporting
12. Patient Lead Followup
13. Pay-Per-Click Advertising
Search Engine Marketing (such as Google Ads) can be a highly-effective way to find MORE new patients at a very reasonable acquisition cost.
But… This one is last on purpose! It’s vital that you get your website ready before spending money on ads or paid clicks might not convert enough to be profitable.
