Execute a marketing program to support NY Foot Center with visibility in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and to generate sales leads.
Aliments for feet include many different target audiences. These issues are painful and serious enough to prompt patients to search online for a solution. They search on Google to locate a qualified and experienced physician located close to them. They also tend to research affordability, treatment options, and recovery time prior to making contact.
As a result, several well coordinated digital touch points are necessary to run a successful, comprehensive and cost effective marketing campaign. The proposed strategy aims to engage users when they search online for specific procedures and link them to a corresponding, relevant landing page that has been specifically written and designed so the prospect can learn about the procedure and inquire.
When a prospect inquires via the consultation request form on the landing page, an email is triggered to notify your staff of the inquiry, and another email is automatically sent to the patient thanking them for their inquiry and asking them to take next steps (call the office). Prospects will also see retargeting display ads for a period of up to 2 weeks as they visit other ad network supported websites. Calls to the office from digital ads, the landing pages or the follow up email are tracked and recorded to aid with analytics and optimization.
We recommend adding social media marketing if a higher lead volume is desired. Social media campaigns will target audiences not actively seeking foot related procedures or services. As a result, messaging should include video and custom content like blog posts to engage potential patients with information they can consume without becoming a patient. This approach builds trust and generates awareness so that when consumers living near the practice need services, they prefer NY Foot Center due to familiarity, established expertise and proximity.
Tracking, reporting and optimization of the campaigns is included with the monthly services fee. Green Dot also provides inbound phone call tracking resulting from the ad campaigns and can provide physicians with a CRM to manage the leads if this functionally is desired by the physician’s office staff. The Green Dot marketing team reviews monthly marketing reports with the physician’s team by phone and answers any questions about past or future promotions.
Green Dot will design and customize a dedicated landing page for each procedure with the physician’s contact information, as well as update the contact forms to connect with the physician’s inbound email system.
Each landing page is designed for both mobile devices and desktop computers with mobile responsive code ensuring content renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
Google AdWords allows a website or landing pages to be listed prominently on Google when people search for relevant keywords. A Google AdWords certified marketer can help you write targeted ads that cost less than your competitors are paying by optimizing each part of your campaign.
Cost-per-click keyword rates for NYC foot related services range between $3 -$5 on Google depending on the geographic area and the targeted keywords. Green Dot recommends a media budget for Google of $2,000 – $3,500 per month, depending on the number of leads that need to be generated. The cost per marketing qualified lead will likely range between $60 – $120, resulting in 30 – 40 leads per month using the recommended budget.
We strongly recommend retargeting landing page visitors for a period of about 2 weeks. Digital display ads can used to retarget all prospects who visited the landing page but did not complete the desired action. The retargeting ads run on a wide network of websites that support display advertising and “follow” your prospects from site to site as the browse the net, giving you a second and third opportunity to close the deal.
Emails can be used to nurture a lead and promote a specific service. Even in a crowded inbox, an email with a good subject line and relevant content will stand out and drive action. Green Dot has experience with a wide array of email marketing platforms including MailChimp, HubSpot, ActiveDemand and many more.
The program includes a follow up email triggered automatically once a prospect submits the consultation request. Another email alerts your staff that a new lead has come in.
Engaging and original content is vital to the success of every advertising campaign. Content can be shared via email and social media while helping to drive SEO rankings and free traffic for important long-tail keywords. Proprietary content in the form of well researched blog posts, and branded social media graphics engage visitors who are researching brands and evaluating the competition.
This service provides clients with individually researched and well written blog posts, as well as customized social media graphics on an ongoing basis.
Green Dot ensures you know how your campaigns are performing at all times. Clients have direct access to the marketers working on their campaigns as well as to reporting platforms like Google Analytics (landing page performance) and ActiveDemand to view a live campaign dashboard detailing the performance of the campaigns.
Green Dot publishes monthly reports detailing every lead that was generated, the source and the cost. We also review reports with clients by phone or via a virtual meeting platform.
How much you spend on media every month is totally up to you. The more you spend, the greater your reach and frequency. Green Dot provides recommendations and guidance based on campaign performance and objectives, while allowing clients to adjust their budgets as needed.
Green Dot does not bill clients for media insertion, or require a minimum budget. Instead, we only invoice for media planning and campaign management. We manage and execute the media buys, create all ads, a/b test the ads, optimize your monthly spend (we may suggest increasing / decreasing the budget allocation depending on a channel’s performance) and report on the results.
All media expenditures are the responsibility of the client and are billed directly to the client by the media vendor or advertising platform. This approach creates pricing transparency and trust, while allowing media budgets to be adjusted as needed.
Green Dot includes these media management services at no additional charge with your marketing retainer up to the specified monthly threshold. Scaling the media buy beyond this baseline triggers a media management fee of 12% applied only to the net new spend above the included monthly threshold.
