Is your veterinary practice investing in digital marketing strategies that truly deliver value?

Digital marketing is changing fast, and there’s probably a lot digital marketers don’t want business owners to know. With all these tech advancements, there are tons of opportunities, but also a lot of confusing stuff that’s hard to keep up with. It’s really important to remember that much of the digital marketing lingo and research comes from and is for businesses that sell things ONLINE. A vet practice usually doesn’t do that, which can make interpreting results really misleading.

So, let’s dive into some things business owners should know, that the internet gurus might not be telling you.

• Watch out for misleading digital marketing terms! Words like “conversions” can sound great, but for a vet practice, it usually just means someone clicked a link, not that they actually bought something. Don’t be fooled by fancy reports from Google Ads or Facebook campaigns that make it seem like you’re getting tons of sales when you’re not.
• You don’t need a marketing company for content anymore. Seriously, AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini can write awesome newsletters and even create unique images for you in minutes. Just give them your ideas, even if they’re messy! And a few seconds later you have a newsletter. Repurpose this further by always publishing it on your website in a blog.
• AI search is coming for Google’s crown. Get ready for a world where people use AI for searching, not traditional search engines. This means good riddance to Google Ads and their costs! Within the next 5 years, AI search is going to dominate.
• Get ready for AI search NOW! SEO companies might tell you otherwise, but the best way to get found by AI is to constantly publish useful info about your practice on your website (like copying your newsletters into a blog). AI wants real information, not just who pays the most. If you don’t start publishing legitimate news on your website soon you will be playing catch-up later. And you need to write the content because only you know your business and it’s points of difference best.
• Stop sending generic newsletters. If you’re using a bland, copy-and-paste newsletter that everyone else is sending, you’re just annoying your clients and hurting your email reputation. Customers want relevant info for their pet, at their pet’s life stage, and about services they haven’t already bought. What’s more, if AI sees the same newsletter from hundreds of businesses it will ignore it.
• Direct marketing is still king (and AI will make it even better!). Use your existing client list! AI can help you send super-targeted messages – dog info to dog owners, cat info to cat owners, and special offers only to those who haven’t used them. This gets way better results than digital ads.
• This does not mean that Facebook and Google reviews are history. It’s important to remember there’s a real difference between simply running Facebook ads and regularly sharing meaningful posts on your practice’s page. Informative updates don’t just engage your clients—they actually get picked up by AI searches as well! This means you can get extra value from your newsletters by making just a few tweaks and posting them on Facebook at no additional cost. The same goes for collecting Google and Facebook reviews. While there aren’t many other review platforms widely used for veterinary practices, AI still relies heavily on Google and Facebook to understand what your clients think. Best of all, these opportunities are free—it just takes a little encouragement for your happy customers to leave a review.
