Editor's Notes
Patient/people graphic? Like we had on a previous version of the infographic with a bunch of people on it.
- Images of social media icons vs. TV/radio/magazine ads
Check marks – possibly the graphic from the front page of infographic where it says “Say It Loud” with the mouth and sound waves.
We can use the star rating graphic from the interior of the infographic here.
Graphics meant to show that these websites show up in search engines. Sales note: on some sites you must update the information every 6 months for it to stay current. It takes XXXXXX amount of hours to get that done – on JUST one site in some cases. Also, use wrong phone number example we just encountered with Orlando Health and OOC?
The stats up there can all be replaced by graphics from the infographic.

On the heart of the matter page.
Top is on the front page of infographic and bottom can be the blue 434% box from the front page as well
Image of social media icons. Sales note: good place to mention that Facebook alone has more than 600+ million users and it grows every day. Lots of potential to put a face on the practice – share photos, videos, news, trends, specials, offers, etc.
Graphic of all the local search sites here. Sales note: good to mention that the more information that’s listed, the more patients will trust you. When it’s up to date, it will help with search and patient loyalty.
Youtube Logo – sales note: might be important to say here what you get with video. For instance, we’ve had patients tell us that they chose one of our client’s practices for surgery solely because of YouTube videos we’ve done. Ideas for videos include physician profiles, explanations on various procedures and even patient testimonials.
