- Not all conversions are created equal. You should focus energy and resources on advancing the goals of the organization. Having SMART goals helps you build conversions that have higher value.
- The point isn’t just to be out there. Big investment - moves consumers forward in their relationship with you - because it informs them in a way that helps them make decisions about their health – because it moves them to action.The problem with traffic is that you don’t know if what they experience is successful at accomplishing any of those things. It certainly doesn’t help you communicate the value that you’re creating to anyone else in the organization.
- So we focus on conversions – trackable inflection points that add value to the relationship between you and a health consumer.Great if it’s an appointment – those are rare…catching that individual moment of time – but very valuableUsually it’s screening, class, information session, or request for more information that someone then needs to close the saleValuable – but it takes time. Even getting someone to add themselves to your email list has value – hard to purchase – expensive.
- Changes from Search EnginesCreate great content/fresh content/uniquely valuable content
- Quality>QuantityQuantity mattersNot just service pages-blogs/videos/infographics…Leverage the heck out of your content investment – 20 artifacts per project!
- Example – BariatricGo to information sessionVideo tape and create a short, punchy vid of why bariatric surgery might be right for youCreate quiz – is weight loss surgery right for you?Write blog posts to accompanyLink these to the appropriate pages on your websiteShare on facebook, twitter, youtubePut in your personal signature for yahoo groups and participate in local weight loss forums onlineBuy ads to pull to landing page featuring these resourcesetc., etc.
- There’s an overabundance of stock imagery out there today. It sets a tone to be sure – superficial and shallow…going through the motions...cookie cutter. If that’s your brand, then great, but if not – get out the camera and use it.
- Take a class or just spend time online to learn technique.PracticeFind people on staff with talent to also shoot/learn from one another
- Do a win/loss conversation (privately)
- Google plus for logoDescription from Wikipedia – so that’s another thing – update your Wikipedia page
- Pro tip – put that landing page with all of the related resources in your sig-block Starting to hear of health systems creating special landing pages specifically for traffic from particular online communities.
- We went deeper into this subject in our past webinar: http://www.geonetric.com/resources/webinars/2013/using-paid-search-effectively/
- Less space above the fold for traditional organic resultsTightened data sharing Shut down organic keyword toolsOptions – PaidSearch is most popular, but is best for some only certain use cases. FB ads. Consumer sites. Health-related sites. Then get creative…Pandora.
- Get startedGreat intro info on GoogleReview the basic reports – Audience, acquisition, behavior and conversionsStart working out the measures you want to track your goals! Traffic by subsection of the site, conversions…learn about conversion funnels.
