Google ads

Using Google Ads your website can gain a lot of online visibility to potential patients while they are searching for treatments, symptoms or doctors.

Google Ads is Google’s advertisement platform, where you can display ads for certain keywords, and you pay for each click.

Organic traffic

Organic traffic means that Google thinks that your website is relevant for a certain term (e.g.: plastic surgery), and displays your website on the top of the search result page (see the organic searches on figure x). It’s very important to note, that organic traffic means that you have not paid for it.

Use influencers for online visibility

When an influencer, a key opinion leader, a known person in your industry speaks about you, he sends traffic your way. Implementing them in your strategy might give you the needed online visibility.

Social media for doctors

Many doctors are a good fit for social media marketing. Plastic surgeons are all about visuality. Most social media platforms give a very good base to provide this visuality to potential new surgery patients.
