The plastic surgery market is booming. Thanks to the influence of Zoom Meetings during the pandemic and beyond, facial plastic surgery procedures saw a 40% increase in 2021. After so many Americans found themselves on Zoom calls for hours each day, we’ve had ample time to over-analyze our imperfections and be motivated to seek aesthetic procedures like never before.
Pair the “Zoom Effect” with a more flexible, work-from-home environment that allows for an easier recovery from surgical procedures, with a surplus of disposable incomes saved from almost two years of being mostly at home, and you’ve got a steady stream of patients who want to look better on and off camera.
Are your marketing strategies effective enough to captivate this audience of potential new patients? These six digital marketing tips for plastic surgeons can help you stand out from the competition, attract and retain new patients, and grow your practice.
When it comes to digital marketing for plastic surgeons, strategies for managing reputation, online optimization, and content are major drivers of your practice’s success. These elements help establish relationships with future patients, make it easy for them to find you online, and offer valuable, educational content for men and women in your area who are considering plastic surgery.
It’s important to take an integrated approach to attracting new, high-value patients, so digital marketing strategies drive traffic to landing pages or your website, and prompt patients to call you, schedule a consultation, or enter their contact information so your office can reach out to them. A successful digital marketing strategy also helps establish your unique brand and credibility in your specialty areas.
Consider these tips when you need to establish or rethink your digital marketing strategies.
Make it easy for patients to find what they’re looking for, such as the types of procedures you offer, and invest in professional before-and-after photos for your website. Photos speak volumes about your work, and allow new patients to see the success of others who have undergone similar types of plastic surgery procedures.
Online reviews are the first step in choosing a new physician for three out of four patients. Before someone even visits your practice website to learn more about you and your providers, they read reviews to see if others had a good experience. Reviews are third-party proof that your practice is reputable.
Reputation management means your online presence accurately reflects the care your practice provides. When you use an automated review platform like SocalClimb’s, patients automatically receive a text or an email asking for feedback within 24 hours of an appointment. This feedback gets pushed out to Google, Healthgrades, and other review sites so you can be found in searches for reputable plastic surgeons in your area.
