Three models of Optometry digital marketing pricing

Orthopedic digital marketing, or digital marketing in general, comes available in three different channels: freelance, internal, and agency work. Each of these vary in terms of cost and quality, so it’s important to have an idea what their difference are before you decide to pick which one works best for you.

Freelance

Average Example Hourly Cost: $15 – $45/hour.

There are tens of thousands of freelance digital marketers working across the internet right now. Some of the more common places to find them are marketplace sites such as Upwork or Fiverr. They are often the least expensive digital marketing channel, but the quality of work is highly variable and their rates are subject to significant fluctuation.

Pros:

  • Initially cost-effective
  • Wide pool of experience and talent to pull from
  • Can be uniquely motivated

Cons: 

  • Back-and-forth communication that can slow down project completion
  • Less liability and accountability
  • Extra effort has to be put into ensuring project/client-specific SOPs are followed
Internal

Annual Example Internal Team Cost

Internal digital marketing can be a no-brainer for some companies, as the ability to craft your own brand from inside your company is highly attractive. But keep in mind—this option is only available to those who have the resources to pay for a full digital marketing outfit, like the example team below.  

Example Marketing Team:

  • Senior Marketing Manager: $118,796/yr – $155,433/yr
  • Senior Content Strategist: $86,023/yr – $103,089/yr
  • Project Manager: $74,441/yr – $94,673/yr
  • Senior Front End Web Developer: $111,159/yr – $141,827/yr
  • Copywriting: $61,977/yr – $71,500/yr  
  • Mid-level Visual Designer: $71,910/yr – $89,861/yr
  • SEO Specialist: $51,178/yr – $78,000/yr 
  • Social Media Specialist: $56,090/yr – $45,817/yr
  • PPC/Paid Ad Specialist: $45,638/yr – $62,092/yr
Total Cost: $251,500 – $598,572/yr
 
*Ranges found based on average Payscale Salaries.
 

Pros:

  • Full control over the development of campaigns
  • Quick communication with the marketing team
  • Able to match the brand with incredible precision

Cons:

  • Training can be a significant investment of 6+ months
  • Accountability is limited to the scope of the team
  • Lack of a hyper-competitive space can decrease innovation 
Agency

A digital marketing agency is a third-party group hired by an individual or business to create an online marketing campaign or strategy. While agencies can seem initially expensive, they pay their worth in quality of work, reliability, and experience.

Example Digital Marketing Service Price Ranges:

Brand Identity & Creative Work: $5,000 – $90,000+ *
Website Design, Development, Speed Optimization: $2,000 – $150,000+ *
Web Hosting, Security, Maintenance, Support: $1,700 – $6,600+/year *
Search Engine Optimization (SEO): $500 – $1 million+/month *
Paid Ad Budget: $1,000+/month
Ad Management: $1,000 – $10,00+/month
Social Media & Content Marketing: $2,000+/month
Email Marketing: $300+/month
CRO Services: 800+/month

Pros:

  • Guaranteed quality
  • Dedicated professionals
  • Cost-effective in the long-term

Cons:

  • Not as easy to sign on with as freelancers
  • May be more “big-picture” than internal team
  • Often deals with multiple clients

What determines the cost of your Optometry marketing?

Orthopedic marketing is a large market, with a wide range of pricing options. For most orthopedic practices, a large portion of how they determine the budget and/or cost for their marketing is by understanding and deciding which marketing route to work with, an agency, internal marketing, or a freelancer.

Below, we’ve detailed out each–highlighting the possible pros & cons of each.

9cd4e14c factorsthatinfluencedigitalmarketingpricing 01
Agency

Marketing agencies, such as Aelieve Digital Marketing, are companies that are well-equipped to take care of all of the marketing needs for your orthopedic clinic. Orthopedic marketing agencies are packed full of marketing professionals and most of the time, have access to resources that can really elevate a clinic’s marketing strategy.

Pro: Experienced team of professionals who are well-versed in providing top-notch & quality orthopedic marketing services.

Con: Quality work can sometimes be more expensive than other orthopedic marketing options.

Average Cost: $5,000-$20,000 per project 

Classified as DIFY (Do It For You), or services that a third party provides with little action required on the part of the client.

Internal

Internal marketing is the act of hiring someone within your own organization to manage the marketing tasks. Internal marketing can be beneficial in the way that the person can understand the practice, brand, values & services well.

Pro: Person doing the marketing that has an in-depth understanding of the practice–services, values, and the brand, which can produce solid results.

Con: Finding someone to take on the role, as well as having adequate marketing knowledge can be a struggle for some orthopedic practices.

Average Cost: $60,000 or more per year (equivalent to hiring a new employee)

Classified as DIY (Do It Yourself), or services that are in-house provided, with no outside assistance.

Freelance

Freelance orthopedic marketing is when your clinic hires an independent person to run your marketing. Freelance marketing can be cost-effective but can lack the structure that an agency provides regarding timelines and resource accessibility.

Pro: Can be a cost-effective option.

Con: Might not have access to all of the top software available or be as well-versed as an agency.

Average cost: $50-$200 per hour (or more) depending on experience.

Classified as DIWY (Do It With You), or services provided from a third-party source that requires action from the client consistently.

What to look for when researching Optometry digital marketing costs

As you research online marketing’s costs, pay attention to these three critical factors:

1b04a432 whattopayattentionto 01
Freelance

Freelancers will most likely have the least amount of documentation when it comes to the work they’ve done, which can make it difficult to evaluate how cost effective they might be for your marketing needs. There are, however, a few items to consider that can help you decide:

  • Reviews: Many freelance work sites have an opportunity for customers to leave a review or rating for freelancers. Check these before you make your decision on who to pick for your work.
  • Portfolio: One of the most valuable assets in a freelancer’s arsenal is their portfolio, and most make them readily available on their working profiles for clients to browse.
  • One-On-One Meeting: Freelancers are used to prospective clients wanting a preliminary meeting before they engage. Don’t be afraid to reach out and see what the freelancer is like one-on-one in a short call.
Internal

Internal marketing teams will be the easiest to register whether or not the cost is adding up to proposed benefits. A couple ways you’ll have to examine this are:

  • Internal Analytics: Your marketing team should have some system of analytics that is accessible to you, so you can monitor their performance and spot weak points and strength areas.
  • Customer Response To Brand: One of the most effective ways to tell if your team is doing their job is the customer response—do people receive your brand more positively online? Do they talk about it more? Have you heard about it from people you didn’t think you would? These are all signs of a positive contribution from an internal marketing team.
  • ROI: At the end of the day, is what you’re putting in to your internal marketing team being covered by the business they’ve managed to generate through their efforts?
Agency

Digital marketing agencies are usually the most highly-documented group out of the three, and often have extensive resources for clients to browse before they make their decision, such as:

  • Case Studies: Many agencies have case studies across a variety of industries that demonstrate specific campaigns or strategies and how they managed to increase business within a given vertical.
  • Reviews: Any agency worth their salt has a library of reviews, not just for themselves, but for the websites or campaigns they’ve worked on, too.
  • Past Websites: This is the best measure of any agency’s ability—what do their websites look like, and how do they run?

What services does Optometry digital marketing include?

In reality, there are dozens of digital marketing services, but most fall under five main service branches that include:

25747111 orthopedicmarketingservices 01
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO or search engine optimization is the process of researching & implementing industry-based keywords that Google recognizes, in your website’s copy. By doing this your website becomes more accessible to your patients–meaning that you’re not only easier to find, but able to be more prevalent within your community.

Web Design

Holistic and stunning orthopedic web design services can elevate your website through things such as strong hosting & security to beautiful graphics and pictures. Ensuring that your website runs smoothly for your patients as well as looks engaging, is a top priority when it comes to showcasing your clinic in the best way.

Social Media Marketing

Social media can be a great tool for orthopedic clinics to be able to humanize their brand while also connecting with their patients. Social media management and marketing for orthopedics can showcase a clinic’s services, staff, and values in a way that is digestible and often engaging for patients.

Reputation Management

You care for your patients–which means being able to listen to what they think is an important value for your orthopedic practice. Through Aelieves reputation management services for orthopedics, you’ll be able to, in real-time, respond and see what your patients are saying about your clinic.

PPC Advertising

PPC or pay-per-click advertising is an important resource for orthopedic clinics wanting to expand their patient base. PPC advertising is where advertisers pay a fee each time an ad is clicked on a different or corresponding website. This means that your orthopedic company can increase the patient base far and wide!
