In today's episode, It's all about Youtube ads! I share what you need to know about Youtube ads types, ad placements, the different placements you get to chose, and all the opportunities for your veterinary practice using youtube ads. Here the 6 types of placements are: -Skippable In-stream Ads This placement is the most recognizable and most common choice where you have the option to place at the beginning, middle, or end of the video has to be a minimum of 15 Seconds long or longer. These are a great choice for your first impression so potential clients can get an understanding of who you are by learning more through the ad. -Non-Skippable In-stream Ads  has to be a maximum of 15 Seconds long or shorter. Non-skippable ads are great for retargeting people who have looked into your practice before. -Out Stream Ads This ad placement varies for the others as this ad is an autoplay. This Ad plays automatically and is mobile-only. While you would have great impressions and views its probably not a choice to use for your veterinary practice as there is no intent behind the views. -Conversion Ads Great for online sales and stores and you get to select the outcome you want however it comes with a need for a big budget -Ad sequences  Creates a sequence of videos and delivers to your ad audience in a specific order. Perfect to consider to use for your employment ads -Shopping Ads Great placement to sell physical items in your practice that is underutilized by vet practices Reminder!

In Todays Episode I am joined by special guest Brandon Boyd from Vet and Pet SEO and The Practice Heist Podcast to talk about SEO and digital marketing for your veterinary practice. We share some strategies, approaches, and even misconceptions in digital marketing and SEO. Here are some key approaches and strategies to think about for your veterinary practice digital marketing. -Solve a Problem First Frame your sale in a way that provides your clients with solutions to their problems or concerns by focusing on the benefits of a service, product, etc rather than just the features of the product and service. -Narrow Down Tactics and Strategies  Have a very clear strategy that you can use for your digital marketing that will actually work and help your practice grow. -Create Expert Knowledge Content  Your content that your practice produces is very important because you want to create content that will serve your current clients but also allow you to reach new audiences. Create expert professional level content that is easy for your audience to understand and comprehend but also evergreen that can be relevant at any time. -Create Content First and Find Keywords Second  While keywords in your headlines are great for increasing your SEO ranking be sure to create content for your audience first and then find your keywords. SEO may tell you where you rank but it doesn't give insight into your conversion rate.

In Todays Episode I share updates that are coming to reviews in the future, some different trends and things to think about in terms of reviews of your practice, helpful strategies you can build out for your reviews, and how you can prepare for the review changes coming in the future. Reviews for veterinary practices are very important and following 2020 reviews have begun to change due to fewer reviews being left and become even more important for all businesses. The same way most people look at reviews before purchasing anything online, people will look at reviews for your practice to gauge if they want to become a client. While reviews are very important and a lot of potential clients search for reviews sometimes they are met with very polarizing either 5 or 1 star reviews there are not very many middle of the road reviews. And a lot of people are becoming warier of reviews questioning the legitimacy of reviews in general. Some strategies you can use to get even more good reviews and have people looking  - Turn your best and trusted reviews into a personal recommendation. Ask your clients that have left glowing reviews to say a few words or testimonials on video that you can share on your social media or even website. Giving potential clients a chance to see its not just words on a screen. -Develop a system to incentivize clients to leave reviews pretty consistently  -Integrate your reviews into your website, content, or email newsletters so you own your reviews.

In Todays Episode I share the very important and rapidly changing privacy policies that are going to affect how we run ads in the future. With Google following Apple's lead with IOS 14 Privacy changes we are going to see even more changes from these ad platforms and possibly others too. As we have talked about in previous episodes their is a privacy battle going on between Facebook, Apple, and Google. Apple made the announcement with IOS 14 that they would no longer allow pixel tracking, which Facebook gathers most of its data from. In 2019 Google announced that it would in the future no longer allow third party cookie tracking on Google chrome browsers. Now Cookie tracking (short pieces of javascript code) would only be allowed for first party cookies (owned by the website owner from an independent source) and not third party cookies (from advertisers like Facebook).  Google has now announced on March 3rd that they are changing their rules and will no longer be using the data they have collected from first party cookies anymore. Google is now creating a new system that provides better options for them and their services and products. Which in turn will give google ad users even more options with their advertising. Which for many users who are using Facebook and Instagram exclusively it may be time to diversify your ad platforms for your digital marketing.

In Todays Episode I share 3 common misconceptions that could be holding back your digital marketing and possibly be hurting the growth of your veterinary practice. I also share how you can combat these misconceptions to help your practice's marketing grow and perform better. The 3 marketing misconceptions and what you can do instead: 1) Chasing tactics and gimmicks with your marketing- Instead of relying on pitches from marketing company have very clear goals of what you are looking to achieve in your practice's marketing. Find marketing companies and professionals that you trust and can express your goals and trust their judgment to best execute your marketing plan. 2) Waiting for business to slow down to start marketing- While it is hard to imagine during a super busy streak ever slowing down ultimately it is inevitable and does happen eventually. Don't wait for business to start slowing down to start really focusing on your practice's marketing. Setting up your funnels and all your automation (email, messaging, ads, etc...), while you are your busiest, is one of the best things you can do in your marketing. Be proactive instead of reactive with your marketing. 3) Assuming that digital marketing will stay consistent- Find how you can have steady traffic streams to draw your best clients into your practice. Create through different channels additional ways to keep your clients coming through the door of your practice.
