[table_of_contents include=’h2,h3′]

55% of Google keyword searches now involve videos. With videos, you can increase the chances of your content being seen by searchers before anyone else’s.

Here are the top three ways medical video production amplifies your SEO campaigns.

Enhances the Depth and Quality of SEO Content

Search engines prioritize quality content and want the users to have a seamless experience. Videos allow you to present valuable information efficiently, ensuring that users don’t only grasp it but also remember it for longer.

Telling your audience about something is one thing, and showing them why it is so great is entirely another!

Websites that offer video content perform better than others. When search engines see that your website yields high user engagement, answers all searchers’ queries, and provides a positive experience for the users, you’ll automatically be rewarded with a higher rank.

Encourages Users to Spend More Time on Your Site

Let’s get real; nobody has the time, patience, or interest to read through long paragraphs. While images help, they are no longer enough to make visitors stay on a page for long anymore. Healthcare marketers are focusing on videography to engage users and it seems to work wonders!

Videos ensure an excellent experience for your website visitors. Visitors are likely to spend twice as long on a page with a video than without one. You may also enjoy a 157% increase in organic traffic by adding a video on your page.

With video marketing, you can boost your click-through rates and lower your bounce rates. Ultimately, the top spots in search results will be yours!

Helps Earn More Backlinks

When people like a video they see, they like sharing it with others. This is especially true for videos shared on social media channels.

The presence of videos allows you to earn more quality backlinks related to your site content, which drastically improves your SEO rankings.

The key is to create engaging videos that your audience finds relatable and valuable. You may find several healthcare blogs wanting to write a feature about your content, which is an excellent opportunity for you to reach the masses as well as earn link equity from the backlink.

Types of Medical Practice Marketing Videos

According to a 2018 study, 85% of internet users like to watch online videos. Hence, you need to develop a variety of content that meets their unique needs and preferences. Typically, healthcare marketers utilize the following forms of videos to gain the attention of the audience.

Promotional Videos

Promotional videos help promote your medical practice and bring in patients. Healthcare marketers create the following types of promotional videos to advertise and grow their business, depending on their specific goals and needs.

Virtual Office Tours

A great way to promote your facility is by offering virtual office tours for convincing patients that it is the best place for them to receive care and treatment.

Why wait to impress patients until they walk through your doors when you can create a video to show off your great your facility is!

From the waiting area to the examination room, cover everything in your videos to ensure maximum peace of mind for the patients.

Let’s create videos that describe the procedure in detail, shedding light on its benefits and what patients can expect when they opt for it.

Patient FAQs

You can make a video to answer questions about health problems, medical procedures, and your medical facility. It may be easier to understand and is likely to keep the audience engaged.

Some types of customized videos are about the clinic narratives, patient case studies, TV ad style promotions etc.

Stock Videos Insertion With Editing

Such projects are simpler in nature and may be less expensive than others.

The cost of stock videos mainly depends on the length of the video. It may include the purchase of the original stock footage, video editing, sound editing, and extensive feedback rounds.

It is important to understand your audience and the use of such videos. They make a great explainer video and depending on the style can be used for both adult and children’s audiences.

Often, specific elements can be used on live footage or in the introductory elements of a customized video.

Blog / Testimonial Videos

While it is important to understand that these can be highly customized pieces of video content, more often than not, a specific set up is used to shoot a number of such videos in one setting. These types of videos are either educational or serve a marketing purpose and producing them in series is key.

Our video marketing experts usually shoot a series of these videos at your location and allow you and your customers to star in the videos.
