REPUTATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
FORDOCTORS
METHODOLOGY USED
HMCOE performed detailed market research about patient & referring physician online behaviors.
Analysis is supported by our data gathered over 11 years of medical practice marketing
HMCOE created website content and internet marketing for specific patient & referring physician demographics
HMCOE tested engagement on content via targeted ads. ROI tracked with analytics system & patient appointments
WHAT DID WE FIND?
PATIENTS & REFERRING PHYSICIAN BEHAVIORS
Patients and referring physicians alike were leaving websites for “background” checks on:
#1 = Physician Ratings Sites#2 = Google
Behavior Analysis: In May/June 2012 – 80% of website traffic
was diverted (60% to physician rating sites)Comparison: In 2011, 10-15% of all website traffic was
diverted to Google (only 1-2% to physician rating sites)
What does that mean?
That’s a change of 65% in a specific
behavior in less than 1 year!
IMPORTANT FINDINGS
Once a visitor Googled the doctor with bad reviews he was not coming back
ROI from internet marketing improved while costs decreased for all campaigns with reputation management platform
Case Study #1 - One review spells Disaster
Result: Surgical-patient volume dropped by 15 patients the following month
Could this review have been prevented if the doctor asked for feedback during the follow
up?
Solution by HMCOE - Case Study #1
Doctor subscribed to HMCOE’s reputation management
Within 7 weeks he was able to gather 55 great reviews from his patients, and caught one complaint before it was published
He now dominates 2 first pages of Google results
Result: in 8 weeks his new surgical-patient volume increased by ~9 patients per month – without spending ANY money on advertisements.
Case Study #2 - “group mentality”
Once a bad review is posted, other bad ones are sure to follow
Same Doctor … Another review… Is it Credible?
This was written by a staff member to do “damage control” (this is illegal)
Case Study #3 - Patients Google the doctor of choice
HMCOE ran two well-tracked Google advertising campaigns for a 50-practice-group
One for brand advertisements (i.e. “best doctors in …” +brand)
One for each doctor’s expertise & reviews
Result: Campaign for Doctors’ Expertise resulted in 200% increase in new appointments.
Case Study #4Increasing Out-of-Network patient volume
HMCOE ran a 2 month advertising campaign for a 3-surgeon Orthopaedic practice resulting in 40 new patients, 5 of which were out-of-network
Next month we ran an ads specific to the reputation of each doctor (Average of 30 new reviews/doctor)
Result #1: $84,000 profit from out-of-network
Result #2: Only 5% of traffic was lost to Google after seeing the published verified reviews.
ROI
That equals to 1766% ROI
on a $4500 investment
Fee-For-Service Patient #1 Fact
Customer service & background checks matter to educated shoppers who pay out of pocket!
