Digital marketing is powerful.
For veterinary clinics, it not only helps to attract new clients, but also to engage existing ones and boost revenue. That’s because unlike other marketing methods, veterinary digital marketing reaches pet parents where they spend much of their time: online.
With a few key strategies and tools in mind—all offered by PetDesk—you too can help your veterinary clinic thrive in the digital world.
Build a Strong Online Presence for Your Veterinary Clinic
Your veterinary clinic’s website isn’t just a virtual brochure; it’s a user-friendly hub of valuable information for all types of web traffic. At least, it should be.
It’s important that your veterinary website: 1) shows all of your services, 2) highlights your team’s expertise, and 3) provides easy-to-follow instructions for appointment scheduling and billing. Pet parents are often on the go, so optimizing your website for all mobile devices will ensure a great experience no matter where they are.
But a good-looking veterinary website isn’t very useful if it’s hard to find. That’s why it’s important to optimize your website and online listings for local keywords that attract nearby pet parents, like those searching for “veterinarian near me” or “pet wellness clinic.” Ensuring keyword consistency across all platforms, like Google My Business or Yelp, can increase your clinic’s visibility in local search results and help attract new clients.
Because keywords and trends change with the times, we’re here to run, manage, and update your custom veterinary website as your own team of web experts.
Whether you’d like to make a major change or a minor update to your site, we’ll take care of it while answering any questions you may have about PetDesk. Plus, we’re proud to ensure your site looks and functions beautifully on all devices.
Engage with your Veterinary Clients on Social Media
Facebook and Instagram are among the most beneficial platforms for engaging potential and existing clients.
There, you can share informative content about pet health, showcase success stories, and run contests or giveaways to spark and keep interest in your veterinary clinic. Responding quickly to social media comments and messages is also a great way to foster trust for your community.
But we know managing your social media takes time, so PetDesk does it for you. From content creation and post scheduling to engaging with all of your comments and direct messages, we’ll be sure to provide you with the professional social media channels you’ve been dreaming about.

Master Veterinary Email Marketing
A strong community means staying connected with pet parents at all times, even when they’re not in your veterinary clinic.
To keep your business at the top of your clients’ minds and to encourage more preventive care visits, it’s a good idea to regularly send out newsletters that offer pet care tips, appointment reminders, or special offers. This not only helps keep your returning clients happy and informed, but also your clinic’s schedule full.
Paid Advertising Prowess for your Veterinary Clinic
With a good-looking veterinary website that’s easy to find and use, you just need people to start visiting it.
Investing in pay-per-click (PPC) advertising will help attract new clients to your website by targeting specific demographics or pet-related searches. Social media platforms also offer robust targeting options to reach your ideal audience effectively.
The best part? You don’t have to do it alone. PetDesk’s new advertising model can help you find pet parents in your area, and will continue to serve ads to those who have visited your website but didn’t book an appointment.
Our advertising platform will bring a constant stream of new clients to your business, period.
