Tired of waiting for new patients to walk right through your door? Want to grow your chiropractic practice, but traditional marketing isn't quite cutting it? If the answer is a resounding "Yes!" then you're in the right place! Let's face it; your online presence is more critical now than ever before.

But how can you harness the power of the internet to attract more patients into your practice?  Well, that's exactly where WellWritten content comes in. Here, we're talking about your website and 3 key strategies to drive traffic - and conversions: social media, email marketing, and pay-per-click (PPC) to help your brand stand out from the crowd in the overly competitive chiropractic space online.

Crafting an Effective Chiropractic Website

The first place to start when you want to attract more clients to your chiropractic practice is your website.  An effective online presence (that converts anyway) begins with a well-crafted website at its core.

Your website is your digital storefront and should look just as nice as your practice. It's where potential patients can learn about your services, your approach to health, and even book appointments.

Here's the WellWritten way to make a website truly effective:

Design with Purpose

First, your website should be professionally designed to reflect your practice. It should be clean, easy to navigate, and visually appealing.

More than just aesthetics, your website should guide visitors towards taking action, whether that's booking an appointment, signing up for your newsletter, or calling your office for more info. Remember, every element on your pages serves a purpose!

Optimize for Mobile

It's no secret that most people browse the web on their smartphones. If your website doesn't look good or function well on a smaller screen, you risk losing potential clients. Ensure your website is mobile responsive, meaning it automatically adjusts to fit any screen size, from desktop computers to tablets to smartphones.

Highlight Your Services

Take time to clearly outline your services. A potential patient should easily find what treatments you offer and the conditions you treat. If you don't do it anymore, redirect it so prospects and your front desk don't get frustrated. Always lead with the services you like most and want to be known for.

Marketing Tip: Use descriptive, easy-to-understand language to explain your treatments. A FAQs section can be useful to answer common questions and address any misconceptions about chiropractic care.

Promote Patient Testimonials

Nothing speaks louder than the words of satisfied patients. And we believe you should use their feedback on every channel possible.

On the website, include a section for testimonials, where potential clients can see the positive experiences of others. Not only does this build trust, but it also gives potential patients a glimpse into what they can expect when they choose your services.

Include Calls to Action

Last but not least, don't forget to include clear calls to action (CTAs). Do you want visitors to book an appointment? Make sure there's a prominent "Book Now" button. Want them to sign up for your email list? Include a simple form and encourage sign-ups with a compelling offer.

Having a well-designed, informative, and user-friendly website is the first step in your online marketing journey. It's your chance to make a great first impression and set the stage for what potential patients can expect from your chiropractic practice.

Leveraging Social Media for Chiropractic Marketing

Now that you've created an effective website, it's time to leverage the power of social media for your chiropractic marketing.  Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn offer unique opportunities to connect with potential patients, build relationships, and extend your brand's reach.

Remember: one size does not fit all when it comes to social media. Different platforms attract different demographics, so you need to determine where your target audience spends their time. A younger audience might be more prevalent on TikTok, while an older demographic may lean toward Facebook. Research to establish where your ideal patients are most active. Then spend time creating quality content there!

Remember consistency is key to building a strong brand presence! Use the same logo, color palette, and tone of voice across all platforms. This helps potential patients recognize you instantly, no matter which platform they're using.

WellWritten Tip: Video content is a powerful way to engage users. Consider sharing short clips of your treatment techniques, patient testimonials, or tips for maintaining spinal health. You can also share compelling images, relevant articles, or even behind-the-scenes peeks into your office. We believe the goal is not just to promote your services, but to build a community around your brand.

Interaction is Key

Don't just post and run! Social media is all about interaction. Respond to comments, join relevant conversations, and take the opportunity to provide value beyond just a sales pitch. Show your audience that you care about their well-being, not just their patronage.

If utilized effectively, social media can be a powerful tool for growing your chiropractic practice. Remember, the goal is to build relationships and offer value, turning followers into patients. Don't be afraid to experiment, track your results, and adjust your content strategy as needed!

Building & Nurturing an Email Subscriber List

Building an email subscriber list is an integral part of your digital marketing strategy too. Email marketing allows you to directly reach current & potential patients who have expressed interest in your chiropractic services. While there is typically a small investment to send these, it's nominal. (And trust us, well worth it.)

To start, you need to collect email addresses. Permission to contact people, especially in health & wellness fields is paramount. Here's how:

• Website form: Include a subscription form on your website. Make it simple and easy to find. Many visitors won't mind sharing their email if they believe your content is valuable and relevant.
• Client intake forms: Booking a first visit? That's a great time to collect all their contact information and get permission to add them to your list. Keep it to reminders about their appointments, and unique health needs and they are sure to stay subscribed.
• Social media channels: Promote your email list on your social media platforms. Entice your followers with exclusive updates, events, or health tips only available to your email subscribers.
• Offline methods: Don't forget to ask for emails in person during appointments or at local community events. People often respond positively when asked directly.

Email has a great return on investment! When used along with appointment reminders, it is a great way to keep your practice no-show rates low and get more reviews after the visit. Email also is a wonderful way to reengage past patients who haven't had a chiropractic session in over 90 days.

Drive More Traffic through Pay-Per-Click Advertising

Now that you have a good grasp of organic marketing tactics, let's consider pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. With this form of digital marketing, you pay a fee each time one of your ads is clicked. Think of it as a way to buy visits to your site. And it works! Especially for local businesses like chiropractic practices, where competition can be fierce.

So, how can you make PPC work to scale your local chiropractic brand? Here's how:

Set Clear Marketing Goals

Before you dive into PPC, it's important to determine what you want to achieve. Are you looking to increase traffic to your website? Or do you want to boost conversions, meaning turning site visitors into actual patients? Setting clear goals will guide your PPC strategies and help measure success.

Marketing Tip: If it's conversions you're after, make sure you have a strong mobile-responsive site with very clear CTAs and a visible (clickable) phone number. Put yourself in the client's shoes when on your website - would you book you?

Choose the Right Keywords

PPC success largely depends on choosing the right keywords and phrases! Your ads will show up in search results when people look up these keywords. It’s essential to select relevant keywords that potential patients might use when looking for chiropractic services.

Tools like Google’s Keyword Planner can assist in finding the most effective keywords for your campaign, but you or your marketing team should refine these for the best performance at least monthly or you'll risk spending for related, but not actual services your chiropractic office offers.

Target Your Local Audience

Remember, your chiropractic practice caters to a local audience! This means you have to tailor your PPC campaigns to target users in your specific geographic location. Most PPC platforms like Google Ads allow you to set geographic targeting (AKA geofencing), ensuring your ads reach the right audience. We like to target the local area and confirm the best zip codes in Google Analytics.

Create Engaging Ad Copy

Your ad copy is the first thing potential patients will see, so it needs to grab their attention (and make them want to take action)! Highlight your unique selling points—maybe it's your years of experience, those phenomenal patient testimonials, or perhaps it's a special offer you're running.

PPC advertising can be a powerful tool to drive traffic to your chiropractic website and convert clicks into clients.

WellWritten Tip: Don't advertise for your company name. Mark it as a negative keyword/phrase. Those prospects already know you - therefore, why pay for a possibly expensive click?
