Blogging connects you to your clients and the community in a way that regular visits can't.
Blogging is a great way to communicate and connect with pet owners, build credibility and expertise in your field, and bring more traffic to your veterinary hospital website from search engines. By adding a veterinary hospital blog to your website, you:
- Enable visitors to learn more about you and your veterinary hospital
- Make personal connections with clients
- Establish a community with you as the central figure
- Increase your veterinary website's Google rankings
- Increase the level of service you offer to your clients without hiring new staff
- Establish your clinic as an expert on pet care topics
- Give your clients something new to look forward to reading at least once a month
Your Veterinary Blog: Getting Started
Many people think creating content for search engines is the way to get new business. However, creating content for users first is a better way. Brief and informal, blogs are a casual way for you to communicate with pet owners on many subjects, such as:
- Photos of clients' pets along with entertaining anecdotes
- Informally written case studies
- Top 10 lists: pet names, breeds, best pet cities
- Employee interviews
- Seasonal issues with anecdotes
- Your pet's day at the hospital
- Disease updates
- Personal events: employee birthdays, anniversaries
- Taking a stand on an issue: dog fighting, polar bear extinction
- Pet-related news and events in your community
- Monthly or weekly awareness campaigns in the veterinary community
- Specific behavioral concerns
The more you mix up the topics, the greater your clients will anticipate reading a new blog. It also sends the message that you care about pets and their families and want to provide as much information as possible to help them have a happy life together.
