What Does Social Media Include?
Your online visibility includes multiple components. Most people know that social media includes Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and other social media channels where you can post and engage with others. However, many medical providers don’t understand that reputation review sites are one of the most viral forms of social media. Click here for information about “Reputation Management for Medical Practices”. Here are some key places that your social media should include:
- Posting to pages such as Facebook and Twitter are critical to keep your information in front of your audience.
- Image pages are a plus in capturing attention. Pinterest and Instagram mesh with your posting pages.
- Reputation review sites contain a wealth of information that people use when selecting a doctor. Check it frequently.
- Online directories often offer a comment section. When is the last time you checked your information?
- Google+ My Business contains the images, videos and descriptions that appear on Google maps and in your Google Knowledge Graph. It also can connect to your Google reviews and your YouTube channel. PUMC’s cosmetic surgery social media marketing consultants can help you optimize your online presence in Google.
- Blogs are an excellent resource for social media pages. Writing one blog can give you snippets, links and a picture to use multiple times in your social media. In addition, it offers excellent SEO options when your blog is part of your website.
- Videos say even more than pictures, especially when they are short. You can add videos on Facebook and your Google My Business listing. Creating your own YouTube channel makes sharing videos as easy as pasting a link.
Search for your name and practice name, especially if you have changed medical offices. Many of our clients find that they have erroneous listings that create confusion among potential patients. If you need help sorting through the clutter, our social media experts can correct these problems.
