Using 10x10x4 Formula for Local Doctor..

13 years ago

Both. As well as common mistakes they need to be aware of and how to avoid them (question they should be asking).

Don't worry about competing videos, the focus is to dominate his targeted market and position him as the authority.

Have fun,

I agree with the above post. I do this often for my Veterinarian clients. I'll usually interview them and break each question into separate videos - film them performing a surgery - and a few random vids of the clinic. I'm not a fan of those Fiverr style videos that people are creating.

I usually just type in the doctor's keywords & add the local keywords as well.. I always get my vids to rank well. As mentioned earlier, the idea is to get the dr to look like the industry expert.

Now, I'm stumped as to exactly what my client should make content about because we are targeting people locally. Obviously the SEO part and Google Maps will be handled. But I want to use videos effectively to target locals and need to know what route to go in terms of:

- Should I be telling him to make videos on FAQ's that his patients TYPICALLY ask, rather than making general videos about GI stuff?

Everything will be leading to a report called "7 Critical Mistakes You Might Make When Choosing a ==AREA== Gastroenterologist...And How to Avoid Them!"

So if you guys could please give me insight on how you've done your campaigns I'd highly appreciate it.

Key things I really need to know is...

-Base it off general questions about his niche, or specific things his patients ask, or all of it?

Thanks

Same here! Hell the videos don't even have to be informative to get them to rank. Proper use of title, tags, and location takes care of the ranking most time.

Hi, I've been lurking on this site for a few months, and have decided to pipe in on this topic for my first post.

I handle marketing for a few small businesses in and around the Oklahoma City area, and have been a sponge when it comes to information regarding online marketing for offline companies.

I personally think the FAQ format for your particular client is a fantastic idea. I would compile some questions, film some friends and family (who don't need to be paid for helping you out) asking those questions with sincerity, then for each question film the physician giving the answers while he sits in his office or a professional looking environment. This particular format would, in my opinion, be providing a service and therefore value for any viewers of the video and would position your client as THE expert in his or her field.

Here in Oklahoma City, there is a fellow who owns a oil and lube business. He usually buys minute-long slots on the radio during morning and evening drive times. His commercials are that long because he always gives a car maintenance or safety tip or little known car repair fact during the spot. He gets tons of clients because people have come to trust him. One of his best was just this month when he told a story about a guy who came in for the $29.99 A/C check. He was dismayed when his bill had a $185 charge for freon and servicing on the A/C. The owner, in his commercial, stated that he personally went to the man's house and refunded his money because the service person did not adequately describe that the service would have additional charges if the A/C needed freon or other repairs. The owner then went on to explain how the service works and what the costs may be. This is GENIUS! His company makes a mistake and the owner ADVERTISES the mistake! Because he did that, he has been flooded with business from people who were duly impressed.

I relate this story as an anecdote of how the Expert Positioning model can be successful. I hope it gives you some ideas.

Thank you

Just to add to what everyone has already said.

Use a commercial style video for the main "local" keyword. I.E. Gastro Doc in City Name.

Then do the FAQs and SAQs.

Blast them out all over the place for links.

And add them to the actual web site.

I don't remember ever going to a doctors website and seeing him answer questions in a video format.

That would set him apart immediately.

That is a GREAT move! That was smart use with his radio time - a quick reminder tag "visit us @ www. --- would be perfect as well - that spot probably created a ton of good will - We have a similar guy in the Pacific NW - tire dealer - because of spots like that,people won't go to anyone else - they don't seem to even shop around...

Try to think from the customers point of view... what would they value in reading or seeing in a video?
- some clips of what the clinic looks like.. maybe something like a walk through the clinic on a busy day.. just saying hi to employess... just showing the size of the operation... new equipment.. whatever... this type of clip would offer familiarity to prospective clients.
- definitely a video on FAQ's
- Maybe a series of videos based on certain issue according to the seasons? maybe most common foods to stay away from? or to consume?
- a video on the newest research out.. this would support his expert status

just a few ideas there.

Could you make some videos with the doctor illustrating the top 3 or 5 common procedures he performs?

I am familiar with acid reflux, but I imagine the doctor handles more than just that type of problem. Get him to explain, in REALLY SIMPLE terms, why people come to him, what their problem is and what treatments are available.

One glaring thing that stands out.

The only people seeing these videos are the people actually trying to do something about the problem...and that doesn't even begin to cover the total number of people suffering, that are within reach of this doctor.

Wouldn't it be a goldmine if you could get the attention of all the rest of those people and get them thinking along the lines of doing something to solve their problem, and point them in the right direction?

aside from just acid reflux....there area a whole host of major health issues associated with problems in our intestines....truth be known...pretty much every household within his reach is a potential client.

If only there was a way for him to educate all of them and keep them thinking about him. Like flashing a sign in front of the face of every possible client simultaneously, anytime he wanted to. That would be the ultimate perfect scenario.

I agree with what others have said here but let me add my two cents.

As for what types of vids to shoot I say do them all. You can start at general health and progress into gastro-intestinal. You can also have short staff video introductions.

One thing to remember is its not just about showing up in the search engines. That's part of it. But its all for naught if you don't add a customer. Focus on those things that add patient value so they see the doctor not only as an authority (which is a given, after all they have M.D. after their name) but as the person best suited to solve their particular problem.

You should submit the vids to all the usual places but you should also put them on the doctor's site. You could even have a "virtual video clinic".

If the doctor has some free time on the weekends you might think about doing a weekly hour long webinar where he answers health questions. You could also use a service like UStream or check out leased access at your local cable station.

And by all means tell the doctor to show some personality in the videos. They don't need to be a comedy all-star but showing a bit of personality, warmth, and caring will go a long way.

Kevin

P.S. I'am not a fan of the Animoto/movie trailer types of vids. They have their place but are usually misused because they're quick and expedient. They look kinda pretty, kinda, but aren't nearly as effective as other simple techniques. Just my opinion. YMMV.

I didn't read the whole thread because (1) I am zazy, and (2)I just don't have but a few minutes a day here because I am busy making money.

Sorry, Im in a sarcastic mood.

I have HUNDREDS of chiro clients around the country and here's what we do...

1. Radio ads saying something like "Are you suffering from back pain?..... call "800 number" or go to LandingPage.com and request a free report.

2. "Infomercial" type TV ads, saying same.

3. Postcard drops to addresses, saying same.

We generate about 150,000 - 200,000 leads from the "free report" requests monthly. We ask for "snail mail" and the report is MAILED.

This becomes a lead and is sent to the client who is in that ZIP.

We also train the clients on a sequence to convert leads into patients.

Nothing holds a candle to good old fashioned DRM. Ask our friend, Dan Kennedy.

Study "Ben Altadonna".

Of course, study me. :-)

hello all. here's my first post as well. I'm a foot doc looking to expand an online presence. I had some one minute FAQ videos made professionally, and next will be some saq's but I will use a flip cam for most of them and do them on my own. we also use the flip cam to gather patient video testimonials and will look to optimize seo with them. love the idea of a virtual clinic, and adding personality - not easy to portray for most docs. many 'cutting edge' sites I see have a welcome video come up immediately on the main page. I keep hearing that video is the way to go nowadays. a YouTube video channel is a must as well. does it make sense to end each video with a call-to-action? if so, any recommendations e.g. 'call our office today to claim your free book' or 'enter your name and email address for our free report on xyz'? I guess my question is this: is list-building more important, or is getting the patient in the door? I have eight books to offer and tons of free info products... just not sure what direction to go with the videos. any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

What you will find is that people are at different stages of their buying cycles. So by doing lead generation you may have people that convert right away (a patient in the door) and others that are not quite ready to take action yet (list building).

If you have that many info products you can bury them in the reality that you are the Doc they need to see when they are ready. It is your job to stay in front of them until they are.

Hope that clarifies things for you.

Thanks

Another idea is to record a testimonial from a client who for example was suffering from acid reflux and the relief they enjoyed after receiving care from your client. Social proof is always helpful, especially to position your client as an authority in their field.

These ideas are great. I am just developing a business plan that includes just this, video marketing, promotional videos, photo slideshows, video testimonials, etc.... I will go to their store with camera/camcorder and shoot these.

I find myself guessing on the pricing for certain service.

For example:

-weekly question & answer session
-video testimonials

-I was thinking a 2 min promo video that outlines their company, this includes 1 hour of film time for $350.00

-3 promo videos, 2 min each, 2 hours of film time for $997.00

Say for video testimonials I was thinking pay per testimonial and the more you buy the cheaper the rate.

If anyone might be able to pm me, I would appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Never forget what the CLIENT wants. LEADS. PATIENTS.

Believe me, they could careless about videos, social media , whatever.

They won't pay $997.00 for any of that. What they will pay $997.00 for (or multiples of that) is RESULTS.

We're dealing with OFFLINE clients. RIO is all that matters.

You could deliver leads via social media, or messages in bottles.

Nobody cares.

Figure out HOW to deliver results, and money's in the bank.... even if those results are delivered via telegram.

That's the name of the game. If you can use video to deliver these results then more power to you. Just don't make that the pitch.

The pitch is the RESULTS.
