Here are some reasons why you should include LinkedIn in one of your physical therapy marketing strategies:

First, when it comes to the type of ads to use, there are a lot of options to choose from depending on your preference, from images, texts, videos, and even email/messages!

a. Single image ads – If your goal is to attract more patients to your physical therapy clinic, adding relevant images to your advertisements is a good strategy to increase engagement and interaction with your prospective patients. This type of ad emphasizes the use of images to grab the attention of people interested in physical therapy services, so make sure to use high-quality images for this one.

b. Text ads These are the type of ads that you can see on the right side of your LinkedIn newsfeed. You can even choose how to display it to people looking for physical therapy services or going through rehabilitation: if you prefer a square, tall, horizontal, or link format.

Just remember that when creating text ads, make sure to use a strong call-to-action such as “Call Now” or “Schedule an Appointment” and a catchy headline.

c. Video adsWhen creating video advertisements on LinkedIn, you should first decide on your objective. If it’s about getting more clicks and impressions, you should create a video telling about your physical therapy clinic’s story or patient testimonials but if your goal is getting a lot of conversions, your ad should be about your physical therapy services or a tour around your PT clinic.

Note: Make sure to show the message you want to deliver to your patients within 10 seconds or you might lose your prospective patient’s attention.

d. Message adsthis type of ad allows you to send a message to each of your prospective physical therapy patients when they are online. It has a CTA and a hyperlink that’ll guide them on what to do after reading your message.

Another reason why you should try LinkedIn is that you can easily monitor all of your marketing efforts through the use of a Campaign Manager. It is an ad management tool where you can choose your marketing objectives, and create and manage ad campaigns which make it easier to measure the results of your marketing efforts on LinkedIn.

Lastly, you can use this platform to increase your brand’s credibility. How? Through the recommendations of your previous physical therapy patients.

One of the first few things that your potential patients usually look at is your recommendations. When people see that you are getting a lot of recommendations from your previous patients, they’ll have the impression that your PT services are indeed effective.
