Marketing Quick Wins for Veterinarians

Bark up the right tree with these fast ideas.

For new to established veterinary businesses alike, taking business to the next level takes time. But these ideas can speed things up.

Appear in Their Searches

Veterinary searches are often urgent, or at least time-sensitive. That means someone who searches online is often ready to pull the trigger quickly. Get in front of them first with a paid search campaign.

Get Your Profiles Straight

Don't forget your business profiles within the search engines. Your information should be accurate and complete—with business information and hours, reviews and even news and updates.

Keep Them Coming Back

Happy clients are worth a lot—because they'll bring their pets (current and future) back again and again. Bolster this behavior by setting up automated email and text alerts (appointment reminders, checkup reminders, etc.).

This plan is a vet's best friend.

At your office it's all about the pets. Make marketing less of a chore with this step by step plan, and enlist expert partners to help take the load off.

Check Your Digital Front Door

Your website is like your digital front door. Is it clean, inviting and easy to get into? If need be, do some work to boost the experience and add convenient functionality—from appointment scheduling to bill pay. Use an experienced web development partner to help!

Put SEO in Focus

As mentioned, most people these days turn to search engines when on the hunt for specific products or services, and vet services are no different. Think through your SEO and SEM and pay close attention to website optimization, comprehensive business profiles and reviews, and paid search opportunities. This is an area where expert guidance pays off.

Keep the New Pet Pipeline Full

You can widen your circle beyond current patients with help from advanced digital media channels that deliver incredible targeting—even honing in on people who may have just taken in a new pet! Consider multiple channels, including paid social, search, display, connected TV and radio.

Keep an Eye on Reviews

Even just one bad review can have lasting effects on your veterinary business. Make sure you have a plan in place to solicit, monitor and respond to all reviews to ensure your reputation stays golden.

Give Your Brand a Boost

Building a name for yourself in your community is an investment that pays dividends for years to come. Connected TV, OOH, radio and social advertising are all great channels to help boost awareness, trust and credibility.
