The Future of Digital
Marketing is Pure Public
Relations
The Public Relations Consultants
association recently found that 72% of PR
agencies are now offering SEO services.
The most in-demand services are content
creation, outreaching/engaging with
influencers and social networking
strategy.
So, why PR?
Digital PRThe sheer velocity at which healthcare information travels
online today means that establishing the digital presence
is rapidly becoming a necessity for healthcare
professionals, medical practices and institutions.
Traditional PRActivities map extremely well to digital marketing activities,
giving a brand or business something to talk about on the
web and the means to attract coverage in offline and online
publications.

revenue in your pocket.

a blog post that they read.

after reading its blog.
• 70% of consumers learn about a company through
its blog versus ads.
1. Conveys Expertise- Content matters far more than frequency and good
posts rarely age or become redundant. To convey your expertise, it is
enough that you post some thoughtful material where patients can find it, on
topics that will both interest and inform them.
2. Improves your ability of being found on the web- Blogs also help you
get picked up on search engines. Google ranks websites on a variety of
measures and having a blog, Twitter account, Facebook feed and so on,
helps to move you up on the search results.

you? You should!
Online reputation management is the process of monitoring, addressing, or
mitigating search engine result pages or mentions on the various social media
platforms.
There are many online physician grading platforms.
Physicians are as visible as anyone on the Internet and that visibility is only going
to increase. What used to be hidden and buried is now surfacing on social networks.
This can be your enemy or your friend.
Take advantage and
publish and promote your
digital brand online
The Pew Internet Research Group, in 2011, showed that nearly 80% of
Internet users, or 60% of all adults, have searched online for health
information – – – or information about their healthcare providers. This
brings to light one of the clearest or most valuable reasons why even the
most hesitant physician or medical practice should consider developing a
deep online digital presence – – – that reason is online reputation
management (ORM). What used to be hidden and buried is now
surfacing on social networks. This can be your enemy or your friend. Take
advantage and publish and promote your digital brand online.
