KaylaI tend to do things the grassroots way first – just type your company name or service/product offerings in to a search engine and see what comes up. Are there very direct competitors of yours showing up in those paid ads on page one? Even if you’re on that page organically, you’re missing out on a possible second lot of real estate and/or losing business.
KaylaThe other side of that is that you have to be prepared for all the different kinds of searcher preferences you may encounter along the way. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the psychology behind who searches online, how, what they want as an outcome, etc. are all fascinating to me. If your site isn’t set up to provide those different conversion opps, you may upset potential customers, consumers or clients more than you help.
KaylaFor example IU Health’s website allows you to very quickly get to a contact form and submit your info so that someone from the IUH team can get in touch.
KaylaHowever they also give you the option to click around and find your own information, even a self-diagnosis widget. We’ll talk later about how you can and should still track all of these different quasi-conversions, but providing options is your best bet when it comes to removing vulnerabilities.

KaylaIt is not an easy task to determine how much or what kind of budget you should and can allocate towards PPC marketing, especially if it’s a new venture. Whether you’ve already started dabbling in online paid advertising or not, my first notion is to look at those marketing channels you’re utilizing that definitely aren’t working and try to leach the money from there, first. This can vary depending on what exact healthcare niche you’re in, but it’s no longer a secret that online ad spend is far outpacing more traditional, print or radio mediums. If you’ve started seeing diminishing returns on things like billboards, catalogs, direct mail, etc. – is it possible to grab some of that budget for PPC?
KaylaAdditionally, many of those traditional methods lack the same degree of trackability (short and long term) that PPC can provide. You can know in almost all situations that a click came from here or here, that person then interacted again here and then reached out with their information here with online marketing, PPC in particular sometimes in real time.
KaylaThere’s also the very important note to remember that you do NOT have to immediately dump thousands of dollars in to PPC if you aren’t quite sure of the return or aren’t necessarily even sure how to go about it. Just like this octopus quilt…your PPC budget can end up being comprised of systematically pulled budgets from other areas of your marketing scheme that over time turn in to a rather large investment.
Kayla Depending on the exact niche (insurance specifically) keywords can be a bit expensive, so also don’t set out a test budget that will actually hamper your ability to learn anything substantial. For example, if your average estimated CPC on keywords you want to bid on is $20 and you’ve set aside a $1000 budget…you’ll get about 50 clicks which isn’t enough traffic to make decisions on, anyway.
