The Veterinary Marketing Podcast

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.

In today's episode, I am talking about Facebook ads! I share some of the big changes that have happened recently to Facebook as a result of the big tech wars that have been going on this last year and even before. I also share how these changes affect veterinary practices, what you can do to improve your targeting, how you can keep your ads from going crazy from all these changes, and some things you can think about for the growth of your marketing using Facebook and Instagram Ads. Because of the last few years of controversies with Facebook, they have been made to change their tracking and data collection thus changing how their ads ultimately work. With the newest wave of scrutiny coming from apple with their IOS 14 update of not allowing third-party pixels or cookies to be used on their users it has been impactful for the platform. By using their aggregated measurement tool Facebook now has a new way to track conversion events from ios 14 users.  Other ways you can collect conversion events and data include:  Using UTM tracking- UTM codes are a great method to use for analytics for your ads. Creating the UTM codes at the end of your URLs allows you to gather data from each platform in an easy way. Create Landing Pages - Creating landing pages for each platform and every ad. You will be able to easily see where traffic is coming from. Reminder!

In Todays Episode I share how you can use paid ads to attract new people to work in your veterinary practice. I also talk about what works and what doesn't with employment ads on each platform and 3 placements that will be beneficial for your veterinary practices employment. 3 of the best placements for employment ads 1) Facebook- Facebook is great for ads however when it comes to employment ads the rules are a bit different and have only limited targeting options, but is still a good option to get organic engagement. Your reach can expand from shares and tagging. 2) Google- Google Ads is another good option for employment ads as the people searching for a job actively need or are wanting a job. While on one hand, it may not be a lot of volume in searches their searches are filled with the intent of seeking employment at a veterinary practice. Keeping your employment ads to search ads through google is the best option as you will reach a more interested audience looking for a job in a veterinary practice. 3) Linkedin- Linkedin is a great place to have employment ads running. Linkedin platform allows for the most targeting when it comes to employment ads allowing targeting through company, length of employment, degree, field of study, current job title, and region. There are also two placements you can run your ads, Through their content feed (almost like a Facebook post outlining the job description, benefits, and more) and through their In Mail messaging ads (custom detailed messaging about job opportunities).
