Episode 203: Exciting New Updates To Make Your Digital Marketing Better

In today's episode, I cover some new and exciting updates that are coming to YouTube, Google Ads, Google My Business, and social platforms that you can use to help your practice's digital marketing. Starting with YouTube, Google now offers a youtube form ad that lets you customize what your clients can request from you. I always like to say that veterinary practices should be running ads on Youtube. YouTube is a great place to run ads for your practice as it gives potential clients the opportunity the ability to see your practice and get an idea of what to expect when they come to your practice. It's also one of the less used ad platforms making the competition very light. Google My Business- Now makes it easier to make adjustments to your hours and modified services. You can let clients know your new temporary hours, curbside services, or even temporary closures.  Social Networks-With social networks changing so frequently (Tik Tok may be banned in the US in the coming months, constant changes to algorithms on both Instagram and Facebook ) it is important to remember that social media is just a rental space for traffic. Make sure you are collecting emails and phone numbers from clients to create your own lists for email and text message marketing. Google Ads Call ads-Google has now changed its format for Call Ads. A few things to make sure you have in place before running these ads. 1) make sure you have your keywords very locked down to avoid getting junk calls and attracting the wrong kind of clients. 2) Only have your ads running when you are open to taking calls. 3) and lastly provide your front desk with scripts they can refer to help get your potential clients in your practice. Be sure to listen and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or need help with anything!
