1. Intuitive User Experience

85% of tech users are smartphone owners which means that a large part of the population have the ability to access your website through their smaller screens.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

In order to optimize your website, there are a certain set of items that search engines look for when they give internet users their search results. Domains, phrases, tags in images and titles, keywords, page speed, mobile-friendliness, and other such factors are sought for and measured to determine if your website will show in the first page – or page 100+ when internet users type in “veterinary service” or “veterinary clinics” in the search box. 

Pay-Per Click Advertising (PPC)

When potential clients look for veterinary websites, sponsored PPC ads come up at the very top of the list as well as the bottom of the page. What’s great about this marketing strategy is that you will only need to pay should anyone click those sponsored ads – if they don’t, then you won’t need to pay and feel like you wasted money on internet advertising.
