How to Leverage Social Media for Podiatry with Stratedia

For patients, healthcare is about more than in-office visits—it’s about maintaining trust and communication between appointments. Social media allows your practice to stay present in patients’ lives, sharing important updates and creating meaningful connections.

With over 250 million Americans on social media, these platforms are a prime space for reaching your audience. By posting valuable content, running targeted ads, and engaging with followers, you’ll stay ahead of the competition while reinforcing your brand.

1. 1. Identify Your Target Audience
   Your audience is anyone in your area who may need podiatric care. Use surveys or feedback forms to discover what your patients want to see on social media. By involving them in your strategy, you create a more tailored and effective approach.
2. 2. Start with One or Two Platforms
   Social media success relies on consistency. Begin with one or two platforms—like Facebook and Instagram—that align with your audience’s preferences.

• Facebook: Ideal for sharing updates and interacting with an older audience.
• Instagram: Great for visual content, such as staff introductions, office tours, and infographics.

By focusing on a manageable number of platforms, you can build strong relationships without spreading your efforts too thin.

3. 3. Plan Your Content Strategy
   Content should be engaging, informative, and reflective of your practice’s professionalism. Here are some content ideas to kickstart your strategy:

• Updates and Announcements: Keep patients informed about office hours, new services, and events.
• Staff Spotlights: Build trust by introducing your team through bios or short videos.
• Educational Posts: Share tips on foot health, explanations of podiatric procedures, or common myths about podiatry.

4. 4. Choose a Social Media Manager
   Whether it’s someone in-house or an external expert, having a dedicated social media manager ensures your content is consistent and impactful.

• In-house management: Train a team member who understands your practice.
• External specialists: Stratedia’s social media team offers a wealth of experience, ensuring your platforms are optimized for success while your staff focuses on patient care.
