“Your Potential Patients are looking for you Online.”
Although many ophthalmologists and specialists get patients through word of mouth and referrals, an ever-increasing number of patients still go online to get more information.
We also have to consider the patients who didn’t get a referral from another doctor, friend, or family member, perhaps because they moved to a new city or didn’t know anyone with experience in your specialty. They are a smaller group of people but are also highly likely to search online.
To find an ophthalmologist nearby, patients will generally enter search keywords like “ophthalmologist near me” or “Physicians near me”, etc.
By understanding where and how patients search online, practices can focus on how to show up in those searches more often.
In this episode, Naren Arulrajah, CEO of Ekwa Marketing and Founder of Ophthalmology Business Academy, discusses how patients search online and what practices can do to ensure they find them.
