Randall V. Wong discusses ways to add content to a website to keep visitors engaged and optimize search engine results. He recommends adding video, podcasts, webinars and presentations to appeal to different learners and broaden exposure. Specifically, he suggests creating a YouTube channel by recording with a phone, computer or DSLR camera and uploading videos with descriptions and tags. Podcasts can be recorded weekly using audio software and uploaded to platforms like iTunes. Webinars allow for remote educational presentations with video, audio and Q&A. Slideshare allows sharing presentations. The document also lists Wong's schedule and courses at the upcoming AAO conference on marketing and website optimization.

Healthcare Marketing 101 | Kickstart Your Website, Social Media and BlogRandall Wong, M.D.
This lecture was delivered at the AAO (American Academy of Ophthalmology) 2018 in Chicago, Ill.
This course has evolved over the past 10 years and reviews the basics of creating, maintaining and ranking your website. SEO, using the concepts of content marketing, is the process where search engines compare and rank webpages.
Each search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) has its own SEO algorithm, a formula to rank webpages. Though each search engine has a unique algorithm, all heavily weight the content (words, articles, pages, posts) of your website to be the most important variable in ranking sites.
Content is usually in the form of text (words) for most websites. Healthcare and medical websites are no different. Other types of content can include: podcasts (audio), images (visual), video, music, etc. At this time, SEO has developed to best rank sites containing text. Using different types of content to appeal to different learners is a method to broaden your digital exposure.
Social media can be used to enhance digital identity. Not all platforms appeal to all users. Identify the platforms which may appeal to your patients before starting a particular social media campaign.
Local SEO allows your practice to rank when patients are filtering a search by location. Ranking well depends upon several factors: consistency and number of claimed review sites, SEO of your website and reviews. Healthy and active websites which rank well have heavy influence on your practice ranking with local search.
All the best!

Live Website Analysis | AAO 2018 | Chicago | Wong | Medical Marketing Enterpr...Randall Wong, M.D.
This is an annual favorite. The "Best" website is defined by value (the quality of content), navigation (user experience), branding and SEO. No medical website is perfect. Blending these attributes is a talent.
Websites are submitted pre-talk and reviewed live in front of audience.
This is somewhat difficult to present on slideshare.net as the live session is not recorded.

"Live Website Analysis" was presented at the AAO 2016. There was a short presentation on what constitutes a good website. An evaluation of several websites submitted by various attendees followed.
A good website must be easily navigated, that is, information should be no more the 2-3 clicks. The home page should be free of clutter and quickly convey the goods and services your provide.
There are other attributes which are important. Pay attention to the Home, About and Contact page.
Do you want your website to rank? If so, it must be optimized.
User experience is fast becoming an optimization variable. If it takes too long for a reader to find what they are looking for, your user experience decreases - same goes for sites which are not mobile responsive (fit on any size screen).
Questions? Here's my email: randall.v.wong@gmail.com
Presented at the AAO 2016 in Chicago Illinois.
These are the basic concepts to understanding "optimization" or what is meant by "SEO." Unfortunately there are too many SEO experts out there that add confusion to a very complicated subject.
SEO is easy if you understand that there are only 3 areas of your web presence which require optimization.

Building YO Brand | Young Ophthalmologists | AAO 2014 | WongRandall Wong, M.D.
This presentation was delivered at the Young Ophthalmologists meeting during the 2014 American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Marketing is different than advertising. Doctors must learn to market - to understand the needs of their patients. Patients are looking for health related information and to learn about their doctors.
Every medical practice needs to have a website. Websites are expected by your patients.
Social media may or may not help your marketing efforts. If you choose to engage social media - make sure your website is current and functional before drawing attention to your site.
Each social medial platform appeals to certain demographics and serves particular functions.
At the very least, a website must be created, now, to start your digital presence.

Every "great" website has a great theme (ease of use), navigates well (readers can find information fast and easily) and has been optimized (so it ranks with Google).
Optimization (SEO) includes both "on-page" optimization and "off-page" optimization.
For your website to rank well, it must be optimized, as well as its content. Make sure your website contains the requisite components (e.g. analytics, sitemap) required by Google, Bing and Yahoo to allow your website to rank.

Every modern website should be created as a blog. Blogs are server based (accessible from any Internet connection), built for customized themes, but most importantly, can be optimized much better than traditional HTML generated sites.
There are only 3 types of websites; resource sites, marketing sites and sites which engage the reader.
Content marketing is the strategy that differentiates the 3 types of sites. For instance, a "resource" site only contains stale information about your business or practice. By using content marketing, a website starts to rank on Google, Bing and Yahoo.
Content marketing is the only way to achieve and maintain high Internet rankings with the search engines.

You Are What You Market: Young Ophthalmologists, AAO By Randall Wong, M.D.Randall Wong, M.D.
I presented this to the Young Ophthalmologists (aka "The YO's) at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in New Orleans, 2013.
The message is simple. All doctors of today, but especially those just starting in practice need to understand the needs of their patients.
Marketing, communicating, engaging on the Internet and transparency are now required by the American public.
Viable medical practices must engage by maintaining a website, communicating digitally and be willing to exhibit both personal transparency and a willingness to operate a transparent small business.
This lecture, course 511, was originally presented at the 2013 Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) in New Orleans, LA.
Content marketing is the only way a website can achieve and maintain high rankings in search.
Content marketing is the only way a website can outrank another as search engines, such as Google, compare websites based upon the relevance of their content.
Hence, great websites have great content.

Lecture delivered at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2013 in New Orleans, LA.
Use of blogging is an essential not only to communicate with patients and customers, but is an easy way to add fresh and original content to your website.
CMS (content management systems) such as Wordpress.org are the keys to high rankings on Google and other search engines as they are coded to optimize the content of a website rather than focusing on design.
Design has no SEO value and does not help rankings whatsoever.

Optimizing great content written in the correct context and providing value will tern your readers into patients making your website a great marketing tool.

These are the fundamental components every website should have to maximize their search engine optimization.
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the technique of translating the text files, or content, of your website into meaningful words and phrases so the search engines can understand your content.
SEO takes your content and tells the search engines how and what to rank your webpage.
There are many variables or components of SEO. Here are my favorite ways to maximize my SEO.

Digital marketing is the art and science of promoting products or services using digital channels to reach and engage with potential customers. It encompasses a wide range of online tactics and strategies aimed at increasing brand visibility, driving website traffic, generating leads, and ultimately, converting those leads into customers.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.\
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover

Editor's Notes
Medical Marketing Enterprises, LLC was started to teach and consult for Healthcare and Medical Internet Marketing. RussandRandy.com is a podcast focused on Healthcare and Medical Internet Marketing.
I am a retina specialist practicing in Fairfax, Virginia.
One advantage of using a CMS such as WP.org is that you can easily change your website depending upon your needs.
Most practices have a “resource” type site; hours of operation, about pages, directions, insurance information, etc.
No marketing value, but at least a footprint on the web.
With time, you may want to change or add function….no problem with CMS such as Wordpress (really anything blog).
