The most common is Google Analytics, which is also free, but will require website knowledge in order to implement.<\/li>\n<li>Second, you should determine what actions you want to track. This could be button clicks, calls to a phone number, landing on a page, filling out a form, or scheduling an appointment.\n<ul>\n<li>Note that you can also track the performance of specific campaigns by adding tracking code to URLs used in the campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Once you have this, your next step will be to configure your online analytics account, and properly implement the software to work with your website. This is where the help of an agency, consultant, or freelancer is handy; they\u2019ve done this dozens, if not hundreds of times and can save you time, hassle.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, carve out time in your schedule each week, or month, so that you can understand which campaigns are driving which actions, as well as calculate your return on investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pro-Tip #3<\/h3>\n<p>You can get started with online analytics by simply selecting a tracking software, determining which actions to track, and then carving out a time to review the results consistently.<\/p>\n<h2>Full Episode Transcript<\/h2>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>00:00<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hey, everyone.

This is episode number 12, Refining Your Internet Marketing with Tracking and Analytics. With you as always, I&#8217;m your host, Garrett Smith, here with my co-host Don Lee. And we&#8217;re excited to bring you our 12th episode and talk a little bit about figuring out what&#8217;s working and what&#8217;s not when it comes to your Internet marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Don Lee:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>01:10<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, Garrett. Last episode, we talked a bit about how we&#8217;ve built a system here. You&#8217;ve walked us through all the various components of this broad system for marketing practice, and putting your brand out there, and testing your messaging, and everything else. And it seems like the perfect time to sit back and say, &#8220;Okay, with all of this in place, and all of it working, how can I tell what&#8217;s effective, what&#8217;s not, what needs to change? How do I ratchet this thing up and continue this journey for marketing my practice?<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>01:41<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Absolutely. And I think, first and foremost, the place you have to had is &#8211; is your analytics. And so to get started, let&#8217;s talk just a little bit, for those who maybe aren&#8217;t as well versed, and this as you and I, Don, what is online analytics? And so online analytics is simply software that gets installed on your website. Sometimes it&#8217;s used in conjunction with little tracking codes on specific pages or codes that are appended to URLs used in your marketing campaigns. And really what online analytics allow you to do is to monitor and report on all of the data that&#8217;s associated with these campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>02:15<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Online analytics are a great way for understanding and improving the way that you are attracting, converting, and even retaining patients through your marketing campaigns. And so, really, the underlying principle with online analytics is that if you can track, monitor and report on enough data, you can gain continuous insights into how to best improve your Internet marketing campaigns, and also the performance of your website. More often than not, these analytics programs are enabled by placing a piece of JavaScript on your website. And this JavaScript sort of works with the third party analytics program to collect certain data about how patients got to your website, what actions they took once they arrived, and even what prompted them to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>02:57<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Obviously, the most popular online analytics program is Google Analytics. It&#8217;s a free program. And because it&#8217;s free, that means that you have no excuse not to be using it.<\/p>\n<p>Don Lee:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>03:06<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Right on. And this is, uh&#8230; I mean, bottom line, this is not &#8220;set it and forget it&#8221; stuff. All along the way, your marketing, your messaging, this is all experimentation, and continuing to look back at use these tools to find out what&#8217;s work and seems like a no brainer.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>03:20<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes. Obviously, there are best practices for certain strategies and tactics. But inside of that, the goal here is to use online analytics to continually refine and hone your efforts so that you can get the most out of it. So you want to eliminate waste and increase performance on an ongoing basis. None of this happens in a vacuum, no online marketing, no offline marketing happens in a vacuum. Obviously, once you start doing things, your competitors are going to do things. And so this is a great way to get evidence-based data and make evidence-based decisions on where to direct your marketing<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>04:00<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pro Tip number one, online analytics enable you to monitor and report on website usage for the purposes of understanding and improving the effectiveness of your Internet marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Don Lee:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>04:10<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alright, Garrett, so you gave me a look at what is online analytics in that first segment and even started to allude to the why you would be utilizing online analytics. But can we take a second here and really dig a bit deeper into a crystallized for the practice listening and let them know, like, why do they really need to be digging into these a- analytics at this point?<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>04:36<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As you said, I &#8211; I think that, and as we alluded before, I mean, obviously, the idea of tracking performance is pretty straightforward. But I really think that what you&#8217;re using online analytics and tracking for is just to great&#8230; gain a &#8211; a greater understanding of your patients, first and foremost, how they&#8217;re using your website, as well as to learn what&#8217;s working with your marketing campaign and what&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>04:59<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Again, if you are not doing these things, if you are not using analytics, you&#8217;re not tracking your performance and you&#8217;re not consistently looking to get better, you&#8217;re probably spending too much in getting&#8230; you&#8217;re not getting a high ROI or the same ROI that you&#8217;d get if you were spending the time to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>05:16<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And so, the other thing with online analytics is you can learn a lot from the data, and you can gain some insights into opportunities that may not be visible without looking into the data. And so with online analytics, really, you can start to track all sorts of things, the major things being how many patients is your campaign reaching and what&#8217;s the demographic of those patients? How many new patient appointments are being driven as a result of your marketing campaigns? What&#8217;s the conversion rate of the campaign itself, your website or a particular landing page that you&#8217;re sending patients to? And also, you know, patient retention. Are you sending out those emails and are people clicking on the links to come back and schedule a new appointment for services or treatment again?

Maybe it&#8217;s not clear the action that you want the patient to take on the page.

Uh, as I said before, the most common is Google Analytics, which is also free which is nice, but installing any online analytics software is going to require some knowledge of your website in order to properly implement it. So this is something that you&#8217;re gonna wanna to reach out to &#8211; to your webmaster, your agency or consultant, your freelancer. If you&#8217;re proficient in HTML and are managing your website yourself, obviously, you can take a go at installing it. If you have the chops, it&#8217;s not that hard, but this is a quick simple thing that somebody with a little bit of experience can easily do for you.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>09:25<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Once you get through there, obviously, you know, you&#8217;re gonna wanna determine what actions you wanna track. So you may wanna track certain buttons being clicked, certain people clicking on a phone number, perhaps visits to a particular landing page, maybe when someone fills out a form like&#8230; such as an email subscribe or even just, uh, filling out that &#8220;schedule an appointment&#8221; form.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>09:44<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One of the things that should be note is that you can actually track the performance of specific campaigns by adding tracking codes to the URLs that are using the campaign. So for example, those Facebook campaigns, those Instagram campaigns, even Google Search campaigns allow for each of the URLs to be upended with specific codes that give you a little bit more insight into what&#8217;s happening once those people get to your website or your landing page.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Smith:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>10:11<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Once you&#8217;ve got an eye on or, you know, once you&#8217;ve picked your software, you know what actions you wanna track, obviously, the next step is going to be to configure your online analytics account, and properly implement the software to work with your website. Again, this is where the help of an agency, a consultant or a freelancer is really handy. They&#8217;ve done this dozens if not hundreds of times, and can really save you the time and hassle of doing it yourself. And once you&#8217;ve got this set up, lastly, one of the things, and this is what a lot of people miss, is that you wanna carve out time in your schedule each week or month, uh, so that you can understand what campaigns are driving which actions as well as calculate your return on investment based on the data that you&#8217;re seeing in your online analytics software, and thanks to the tracking that you&#8217;ve placed on your campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Don Lee:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>10:53<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, you mentioned Google Analytics here, the free tool available to anybody that has a website.

There are other options. I would say that for the average private practice, Google Analytics is the way to go. You know, the paid programs tend to be 10s of thousands of dollars, typically annually. There are also open source alternatives, which are great if you have that kind of staff.

And so I usually say, given the fact that the average practice that I see is only spending anywhere from 12,000 to, let&#8217;s say, 60 or $70,000 a year on their marketing, spending thousands of dollars on analytics software is probably a poor use when you could pour those into ads or search engine optimization campaigns or a nicer looking website. And so they do exist. But I don&#8217;t necessarily advise that, uh, practices spend the time to research them or make the investment into them.
