The Three Features Your Website Must Have to Attract More Patients
To bring in new patients, build your reputation and enhance your revenue, your practice’s website should:
-
Be informative, with useful information on topics relating to your specialty: A new treatment or a health alert that’s making news, for example. Inform people and they’ll be grateful; they’ll want you as their doctor.
-
Be frequently updated. New information gives visitors a reason to come back to your site, and makes your site come up higher in search results.
-
Be interactive. Give visitors something to do. An ophthalmologist’s site might ask: “Is LASIK right for you? Take this 30-second test to find out!” This subtly encourages visitors to commit to you and your practice, making them more likely to call and make an appointment.
Surprise! You don’t need, or have to pay for, cutting-edge design, dazzling graphics and “Wow, that’s cool!” effects on your site. Simply stick to the three tips above and your website will begin to work 24/7 to help you attract more patients, build an outstanding reputation, and enhance your bottom line.
