1. Invest in a responsive and SEO-friendly website:

Local SEO helps in targeting local patients. There is an increase in search of “near me” while looking for anything.

Basic information such as Name of the Healthcare, phone number, address, website, and some photographs of your organization.
3. Content Marketing:
Content marketing can be used to educate and aware of patients. Providing answers to patient’s pain points and queries, sharing some inspiring and encouraging stories of your old patients, etc. will definitely create a sense of trust and confidence towards your healthcare organization.

Sometimes reading a piece of information becomes boring. Videos are getting more engagement than that of written content or images. A professional doctor, giving a talk related to the current health issues or providing any information related to technological advancement in the field of medicine will prove engaging. And chances are there you can generate leads.
