Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

With Pay-Per-Click, Your Practice Will Stay in Front of Your Audience, Regardless of Algorithm Updates

Since you have been marketing your medical practice online, you have probably heard how often Google and other search engines update their algorithms. We have come to know that this can be either extremely good or extremely bad for your practice’s organic (non-paid) SEO ranking to draw in website visitors. One day you’re on page one and the next you’re nowhere to be found; it can happen to any site, even with the best SEO.

Your practice needs to reach patients and clients who are looking online for the types of services you provide, regardless of fluctuations in daily rankings and search engine algorithms.

Firm Media can use pay-per-click (PPC) and other paid search advertising to promote your medical or dental practice. With PPC, you can be assured that you are still driving qualified leads to your website even if your organic search engine rankings need improvement.

Our Google Certified Specialists have the tools and knowledge to make sure we are bringing you qualified leads; those who are most likely to convert to a patient or client. We use compelling content, specialized landing pages, and daily monitoring to bring these visitors to your site and make regular adjustments to optimize the performance of your PPC campaign.

The Partnership of PPC & SEO

Firm Media recommends pay-per-click as a complement to Search Engine Optimization. An SEO campaign is designed to improve your website’s rankings over time. Paid advertising is immediate. PPC puts your practice in top search results right away. As SEO improves, Firm Media can gradually balance out your spend in paid advertising for a successful overall digital marketing campaign. Of course, we can also run a continuous PPC campaign!

Regardless of how you want to run your PPC campaign, we’ll meet with you to discuss:

• What your goals are
• Who your audience is
• Your expectations and the reality of what can be accomplished with PPC

I’ve done Pay-Per-Click before with no results. What do you differently?

Our team does hear this a lot. Many times we see clients who were sold on the idea of PPC because of the immediate benefits, but see increased spending without the promised results. If this has been your experience, you may think that a PPC campaign won’t work for your professional practice. And you’re right: untouched, unmonitored, “set it and forget it” PPC won’t work. But the Firm Media approach for PPC will work for your practice!

While some firms setup PPC in the beginning and never touch it again, Firm Media takes a much more hands-on approach. With effective management, PPC may be the missing piece from your practice’s marketing campaign.

Firm Media’s Approach to Pay-Per-Click and Paid Search Advertising

Firm Media’s success in PPC for professional practices comes from efficient management. We help clients get the most from their investment by:

• Using a budget-conscious strategy: We’ll research and work with you on a budget that doesn’t break the bank, and is effective in bringing in new business. We use that budget to only bid on search terms that generate highly qualified leads. We also optimize your campaign on an ongoing basis to get rid of ineffective, costly search terms that aren’t driving form submissions or phone calls.
• Call Tracking – Not everyone who visits your PPC landing page will fill out the contact form. Some would rather call you directly. We utilize a call tracking system that can tell us exactly how many calls come from your PPC ads.
