LASIK Marketing and Online Lead Generation
Posted in Internet Marketing for LASIK, Online Lead Generation by Michael Guerin 2 CommentsTo generate leads online for your business, there are a few key principles to understand. And then put into practice. Or better yet, use a company with a proven track record to help generate new business for you.
Now, before we discuss the three essential steps EVERY business needs to follow to turn the web from marketing EXPENSE to business ASSET, it’s important to underscore one essential FACT:
Internet Marketing & Lead Generation…
is PROCESS driven.
Let me explain.
Too many times we speak with business owners, professionals, LASIK doctors, dentists and other and they all seem to have one idea in common…
that marketing online is somehow “easier” than other forms of marketing.
Now, I’m not sure why they seem to think that way. Maybe it’s because marketing online:
- is usually more cost effective than offline methods
- is easier to implement than offline marketing (if you know what you’re doing)
- generates faster results than offline marketing
Or maybe all of the above. Whatever. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that, to do online lead generation effectively (as in, get more leads to call your office) you need to focus on…
PROCESS.
What does that mean for you. And your lasik practice or laser treatment center?
Let’s review the three essential steps hinted at above, and link them to the crucial need to set up a process for lead generation:
- Generate Traffic
- Your Landing Page
- Converting Traffic into a Lead
Sounds simple enough. And when you break each component into actionable steps, it’s not that difficult to get things up and running. And working for you.
But the thing is, without a process you’ll never achieve the results you could. And the results you want.
Why?
Because a process helps you to optimize your performance. A PROCESS helps you analyze where elements of your marketing are breaking down. And once you identify the steps that are not working, you’re able to implement changes to boost performance.
For example…
A good friend (and client) mailed postcards as a way to drive traffic to his site. We set up a page on his site that could only be reached if you typed in the page – which was found on the postcard. This allowed us to track the results of the mailing.
From the webpage, people were asked to either schedule an appointment or to request more information. This allowed us to track elements on the page.
So what does this mean for you?
Breaking each element of your online lead generation into discrete steps means you can TEST and MEASURE your performance. And identify problem areas in the process to make changes and improve results.
It’s not rocket science. But it does require a bit of effort.
So What’s Next?
As of today we are in the process of completing our certification with Google to become an AdWords Qualified Company.
Even though we’ve been managing pay per click for clients for a while (along with other elements of online marketing), we only just decided to get “qualified.”
And though we are busy helping LASIK practices like yourself generate more business, we anticipate that there will be an increasing demand for our services increases. And when that happens two things are going to happen:
- We will raise our fees.
- We will turn people away (actually, we’re already doing that).
That’s not being mean. Or arrogant. It’s just reality. So, to learn how we can help you starting today, you can:
- Leave a comment here (and we’ll get in touch with you), or
- Call us (our number is on the right side of the page)
- Request your free 30 minute consultation by following the link to our internet marketing coaching program
It’s that simple.
So why not get started today? It might be the best thing you can do to grow your business and build your practice.
