DIGITAL ADS FOR DERMATOLOGY CLINICS
Digital advertising is a critical asset for dermatology clinics looking to attract patients seeking specialized skin care. Through Google ads, clinics can target their service areas so that their ads appear at the top of search results for searches like “dermatologist near me.” Social media ads are great for creating brand awareness and staying at the top of patients’ minds when they need care in the future. These ads will direct them to optimized landing pages that provide all of the essential information they need to book an appointment!
The digital ad landscape offers analytics to track metrics like click-through and conversion rates, helping clinics make data-driven decisions. However, when running dermatology advertising, it’s crucial to comply with healthcare privacy regulations like HIPAA. Digital ads offer dermatology clinics a cost-effective method of reaching their target audience, starting to bring in new patients on a consistent basis.
Our Approach to Dermatology Advertising
Our approach to dermatology digital ads can be broken down into a few categories: Google Advertising, Social Media Advertising, and Retargeting. Each of these requires a slightly different process, but our main goal is always the same: to help new patients find your clinic. Here’s a breakdown of how each of them works:
Google Ads
Positioning your clinic in front of your ideal patient when they are searching on Google can result in more patients coming through your doors. Google Advertising, also known as PPC or “Pay-Per-Click,” offers you the ability to do just that. These strategies fall into two different categories:
Search Ads
Google Ads for dermatology clinics help position your ads in the search results right where patients are currently seeking the services you offer. When potential patients are searching for dermatology services, your ads show up right in their search, increasing the chances that they pick your clinic over others. Unlike SEO, dermatology Google Ads allow us to feature special promotions or offers, making patients even more inclined to visit your clinic.
Display Ads
If Google Search focuses on text, then Google Display is all about visuals. Creating eye-catching visuals for your dermatology digital ads is essential in drawing attention to your campaign. The Google Ads Display Network spans over 2 million websites and reaches 90% of internet users, providing your dermatology ads the potential to be showcased across a vast array of websites, mobile applications, and video content.
Display advertising can be broken down into two categories:
Website Retargeting
When a potential patient visits your website, an embedded code tells Google to display your ads across different websites they visit afterward. This keeps your clinic at the forefront of their mind, increasing the chances of revisiting your site and booking an appointment.
Behavioral Advertising
We can target individuals who frequent certain websites or search for services your clinic offers. When they enter relevant keywords, your ads will be displayed on their devices.
YouTube Ads
YouTube is a rapidly growing search engine, perfect for pediatric ads. Video ads on YouTube can appear before, during, or after other videos, allowing you to connect with a vast audience. Types of YouTube ads include skippable, non-skippable, display, overlay, and bumper ads.
Types of YouTube Ads
Skippable Ads
Skippable Ads are the most common type of ads on YouTube. However, users are able to skip them after a few seconds.
Non-Skippable Ads
Non-Skippable Ads vary in length ranging from both short-form and long-form videos. Short, non-skippable ads run around 30 seconds. Viewers do not have the option to skip these ads but they can mute the audio. Non-skippable ads allow you to have higher visibility but also come with a higher cost per view.
Display Ads
Display Ads show up to the right of a YouTube video and are optimized more for desktop devices than mobile devices.
Overlay Ads
Overlay Ads are displayed at the bottom of YouTube Videos and take up about 20% of the screenspace. They are similar to display ads and are optimized for desktop.
Bumper Ads
Bumper Ads are a great choice for advertisers who do not want to use skippable ads but want to avoid the higher cost that comes with non-skippable ads.
Social Media Advertising
Social media advertising is a great avenue for dermatology clinics to reach targeted potential patients in real-time. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok allow clinics to target demographics like age, location, or even skincare interests. These platforms help dermatology clinics with brand awareness within their community while promoting their services such as acne treatments or skin cancer screenings.
Facebook and Instagram
Facebook allows dermatology clinics to connect with their target audience through a community-centric platform, while Instagram focuses on visual engagement. These platforms enable us to target specific demographics such as behaviors, skincare needs, and different age ranges. Facebook and Instagram Advertising are great for helping with brand awareness in your area, especially for promotions, special offers, or new service announcements.
TikTok
As one of the fastest-growing social media platforms, TikTok’s advertising tools allow you to create informative videos that raise awareness and educate viewers. These short-form videos are perfect for quickly capturing your ideal patient’s attention to get them to book an appointment.
Retargeting
No matter how you’re advertising, one of the most important processes is retargeting. Through retargeting, we have the ability to re-engage visitors who have checked out your ads or visited your website, ensuring you consistently stay top of mind as they’re searching for dermatological care. This process increases the likelihood of converting interested visitors into actual patients.
