Do you have an online presence? When pet owners go online looking for information about their pets’ health – is it YOU that they find?

Having a professionally designed and mobile-friendly website is essential for vets like you.

LifeLearn and the Pew Research Center both found out the growing significance of having a professionally designed and mobile-friendly website to veterinary surgeons.
In LifeLearn’s 2015 Veterinary Online Marketing Report, it was revealed that a whopping 77% of vets promote their clinic using professionally designed websites. Pew Research’s report, on the other hand, found that 52% of smartphone owners gather health information using their phones.
Is your website professional-looking and mobile-friendly? Are you visible to all online searchers, including mobile users? Do you have a website at all?

Most medical information seekers begin at a search engine.

Of those searching for medical information online, 77% say they begin at a search engine, such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Can pet owners find you when they hit the search button?

When marketing their practice online, most veterinary surgeons choose to use social media.

A huge number of veterinary surgeons use social media in their online marketing efforts. Here is the breakdown:
  • 92% use Facebook
  • 45% use Google+
  • 41% use YouTube
  • 24% use Pinterest
  • 21% use Twitter
  • 20% use LinkedIn

Indeed, vets are making the transition from leaflets and brochures to the world of Facebook likes and shares. To keep their pages up-to-date and engaging for their followers, 34% spend one to two hours per week on Facebook, while 22% spend two to five hours per week on the popular social network.
Are you active on social media?

More and more pet owners are looking for vets using local search.

The number of consumers doing local search has grown immensely from 70% in 2010 to 80% in 2014. Do you have a strong presence in local listings and directories?
