Social Listening Strategies: Improve Patient Satisfaction and Your Online Reputation

May 3, 2018

Love you, hate you, want something from you.

JAMA-Network-LogoWhen any of your patients have these or other strong feelings about you, chances are they’ll turn to social media and share their sentiments in a very public way to a very wide audience.

This makes it essential to stay on top of the latest comments posted online and to respond appropriately. In fact, how you respond to comments (good and bad!) about your organization on social media tells people a lot about your brand and your commitment to providing good care — both in the office and beyond.

Consider this: With the widespread reach of social media, these days a bad review — if left unchecked — can really hurt your business by stopping prospective customers from giving you a chance. Therefore, it’s important to be proactive in finding — and responding — to any concerns and complaints posted online.

In fact, savvy marketers understand that when someone criticizes you, this offers a great opportunity to reinforce your brand and put your best foot forward.
