Strategies for Marketing the Healthcare Industry in 2023

Digital marketing in the healthcare industry? It’s more likely (and necessary) than you may think - the importance of word-of-mouth referrals in online communities, paid search ads, and platform optimization can be key tools in any healthcare marketing professional’s arsenal.

Below is a short list of strategies that marketers should employ when trying to increase a healthcare provider’s reach across the web:

Stay on top of healthcare trends.

In recent years, we’ve all seen how healthcare providers were forced to adapt quickly to support the population. As new studies continue to emerge, further advancements in this field are uncovered - making it the responsibility of the marketing team to show the audience that they follow the trends. Clients won’t be looking for practices that showcase a list of outdated services.

Remember to keep it local.

Most looking for medical care won’t want to travel too far to get it. When marketing for a business in healthcare, it’s important to optimize for the local population rather than nationwide. If they’re providing telehealth or remote services, then a small portion of the campaign may be dedicated to garnering a wider reach past your state lines. Marketers need to use their analytics tools to find the best way to reach the local audience through keywords, culture/demographics, and other key metrics.

Create and maintain an online presence.

Providers and their marketing teams can advertise online in a few different ways, but two of the quickest ways to spread awareness are by paying for ads on Google and creating/monitoring a social media presence. Becoming a top priority in the search results will bring new clients directly to an optimized website where it will make a first impression. Managing a social media account and posting relevant content will boost brand image on online medical forums, also drawing in a new audience and promoting referral marketing among the community.

Manage your reputation.

When making the shift to major social media platforms, it’s just as important to remember that each brand has a reputation. Users will associate any actions on these platforms with the brand, so it’s important to carefully monitor how the brand is received in these communities. Addressing client concerns, poor experiences, or any questions they may have about the business is a surefire way to remain in the good graces of your audience.
