PMM only builds and markets websites for medical
practices .
Having a WebMD or POL site is more like having a
Yellow Pages listing in one city phone book, rather than having
a widely-accessible "real" website. It's fine if the only purpose
is for you to give the address to patients in lieu of a brochure,
but would be inadequate if you expect it to attract patients to
your practice.
If your current website is not attracting enough
patients, or even a Google search for your name doesn't turn up
your website, we can help.
The difference between having a website and being
found on the internet is like the difference between having a scalpel
and knowing how to use it!
Most webmasters know HTML, XML, CSS etc coding -and maybe even Search Engine Optimization ("SEO"), but they don't know the culture of the medical community, or how patients -or potential patients- find physicians and their practices. We do (credentials below).
Many components can impact website popularity
(find-ability) on the internet: content ("is king!");
architecture, structure & engineering; coding & programming;
heading; search engine attractiveness and profile; use of titles,
keywords, body content, linking; W3C compliance; video-embedding; all have impact.
Often techniques that make a page "pretty" (like Java and Flash), actually interfere with
it being found! We can remodel almost any web site to increase
traffic using only legitimate medical practice Search
Engine Optimization "SEO" techniques.
PMM's clients' websites typically experience increases
in appropriate traffic of 500%-3500%. It is not too difficult
to increase "gross" traffic ("hits"). Increasing "appropriate" traffic -resulting in more patients or referrers- takes some knowledge of
medical practices and each specialty's unique needs. We know the difference between a general practice and general surgeon, an intern and an internist, and a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon! ;-)
Services typically include geographic exclusivity
by specialty for one year, with extended terms available.
PMM is also expert on ethical, appropriate on-line
and off-line advertising & marketing for physician practices. PMM does not endorse
-nor provide- Internet spam or pop-up advertising in any way. Your
web site is typically part of your overall Marketing Plan, with-which we can also assist you.
