Share Getting visitors to your digital health content website is the first step towards converting them into customers. However, with the numerous competing digital health content websites, attracting the right traffic is not that easy. Keeping your website visible and appealing takes a lot of planning, hard work, and fierce determination. That’s why we’ve put together some great digital health content marketing tips to help you.
Though it can be a very time-consuming exercise, content creation is one of the most effective ways of attracting traffic to your digital health content website.
Updating your website regularly with new content will enhance your visibility online, making it easier for new Hospitals, Clinics, Practices and Health Systems to find you. If the content is relevant and high quality, people will recognize your website as an authoritative source for educational information. Building trust in this way will help you attract even more potential customers. You can create different kinds of content including blog posts, infographics, videos, and case studies.
To maximize your digital health content’s effectiveness, you need to incorporate popular keywords which your target audience use when searching online. Optimizing your digital health content with relevant keywords will make it easier for people to find your site.
SEMrush, SERPS, Moz, and Google Keyword Planner are some of the tools you can use to perform extensive keyword research before crafting your content. It’s advisable to go for long-tail phrases and keywords which don’t have much competition. For instance, ‘patient engagement’ is probably a very competitive keyword, not to mention expensive ($16.34 per click on Google Ads at the time this article was written). Instead, go for a more specific keyword phrase such as ‘how to engage patients’ ($0 per click on Google Ads at the time this article was written).
Engaging people takes more than blasting them with emails about your company or the features and benefits of your solution. Instead you can strategically share content with them about topics that relate to their challenges, goals, and responsibilities that relate to your product or service.
To collect email addresses, you can start by creating a signup form on your website, blog or social media profiles. It’s helpful to add a privacy assurance in your forms. As you have build your list, send out regular newsletters updating your subscribers on the latest events in your practice or industry. Adding clear calls to action in your emails will keep visitors coming back to your site for more.
There are an endless array of email marketing tools that can make your work easier including AWeber, MailChimp, GetResponse and MailJet. Ideally it’s best to utilize a platform that integrates with a powerful CRM like Hubspot to keep your contact information in sync and allow you to set up advanced triggering events to deliver the most relevant content.
We live in a mobile friendly world and regardless of the type of website you have, the mobile version is essential. Smartphones have grown in use and becoming more powerful and all-encompassing.
Responsive web design should respond to your user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform, and orientation.
Whether members of your audience are in Hospitals, Clinics, Private Practices, or other Health Institutions, social media is a powerful tool for engaging potential customers and attracting traffic to your site.
Utilizing social media in healthcare is an important aspect of an overall marketing strategy. More than 40% of healthcare consumers use social media for their healthcare information.
Be sure to create a company profile on all the major networks including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. After adding and following prospects, take time to engage with them on a regular basis. You can encourage people to visit your website by sharing links to photos, videos and blog posts. Comment, share and engage with follower’s posts. Be quick to respond to people’s comments and help in their research and buying process.
One major factor that will determine the ranking of your site on Google is the number of websites pointing back to and linking to your site. Backlinks, called inbound links and incoming links, are a form of off-page search engine optimization (SEO) where you earn links from other sites, directing readers to your website.
The more backlinks you have from authoritative sites, the higher your site will be ranked. One of the best ways of building backlinks is by contributing guest posts to other sites in your industry. You could also request other writers to quote you in their articles and place a link to your site.
As more links point to your website, your organic traffic will get a boost and attract more potential leads and customers.
Before choosing a health technology solution, most B2B buyers check online reviews first. If there are no reviews of your business anywhere, prospects are likely to opt for another solution. Therefore, one of the best ways of attracting traffic to your site is by getting positive reviews on authoritative websites such as , Yelp, G2, and Capterra.
Add links on your website which prospects can simply click and land on your review pages. You could also ask your email subscribers to click on a link or button and leave a review. Make sure the review process is as simple and short as possible.
Effectively attracting new trafffic visitors to your healthcare technology website is far more easily said than done. The steps outlined above are a part of a larger methodology called Inbound Marketing. Inbound Marketing stresses the importance of having valuable content for your website visitors. This methodology can be incorporated in addition to your other marketing methods as part of your “marketing mix”. Content can then also be used to stay in contact with those who’ve converted to qualified leads.
