Northern Virginia Medical SEO & PPC – Search Marketing Agency

WHY ADVERTISE WITH THE SEARCH ENGINES
While the long term goal of your medical Internet marketing campaign should be to earn high organic (free) page one listings for your important keyword phrases, “buying your way to the top” of the search engine rankings is an important tool to reach your prospective patients immediately until your organic rankings earn the 1st results page.
Actually, most medical practices elect to continue a reduced search PPC (pay per click) advertising campaign even after most of their important keyword phrases are ranking page one on the major search engines.
One of the primary reasons for continuing paid search is that the organic rankings display a “snippet” from the ranking page, but that language is almost never what a doctor’s office or medical practice would most like the visitor to read.

With PPC , you have the opportunity to dictate the exact message that you want your prospective patients to know about your medical practice. And, it’s important to understand that a PPC advertiser only gets charged when someone clicks on an ad (and arrives at the designated web page on the advertiser’s website). All doctor’s and dentist’s offices should seriously consider a pay per click campaign as part of their Internet marketing campaign strategy.

WHY NOT DO IT YOURSELF?
While Google (along with Bing/Yahoo) make it relatively easy to create a basic PPC/pay per click advertising campaign, establishing a campaign that maintains top ad position for the lowest possible cost with high conversions (visitors to patients) is very complex. To list just a few of the paid search optimization techniques that need to be fully understood and incorporated into a campaign if it is to be competitive: identify keyword phrases that have substantial traffic in your target market, select the appropriate phrase match type, install/configure conversion tracking, create optimized landing pages, achieve high quality score for all keyword phrases… The complete list is exhaustive and mastery of all these components is necessary to establish and maintain an advertising campaign with a high conversion ratio and strong ROI.
