Starting a mobile phlebotomy business can be a challenge. Not only do you need to get all of the applicable licenses and deal with insurance companies and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, but you also need to find a way to connect with prospective clients.
As a marketing and web design company that has worked with multiple mobile phlebotomy companies over the years, we understand the unique challenges facing those who want to get started in this industry. In this helpful guide, we’ll lay out a step-by-step plan that will get you headed in the right direction to find success as a mobile phlebotomy company.
Branding and Logo Design
Branding is very important in the mobile phlebotomy industry. You want to have a unique brand that also allows people to readily identify what you do. In other words, you want a brand that stands out and sets you apart from your competition, but isn’t so “out there” that it’s confusing to your potential clients. You want to be sure that it conveys professionalism and trustworthiness—two very important characteristics in the medical services industry.
The right company name is also critical. When you work with Modmacro, we can help you come up with a name for your mobile phlebotomy business if you don’t already have one. We will present you with several options from which you can choose. We can also conduct a focus group to determine which business name will be the best received by your target clients and that will convey the message you want it to.
Once your company name is chosen, we can craft a professionally designed logo for your mobile phlebotomy business. Your company logo will be used in many places—your website, business cards, company vehicles, etc.—so you want to make sure you get it right. Don’t make the mistake of just “throwing something together,” because having to change your logo down the road can be costly.
Mobile Phlebotomy Website Design
After your logo, a company website is the next marketing piece you should tackle. As a mobile phlebotomy company, your website needs to speak to several different audiences, such as doctors, private patients, home health companies, and research laboratories. Your website needs to be clean and professional and contain all of the information that potential clients need to know. If your website is confusing or poorly designed, your potential clients will quickly move on to another mobile phlebotomy company in the area that presents itself in a more professional manner. Your website should outline your services and have clear calls to action.
At Modmacro, we specialize in creating websites that look great and communicate clearly with their intended audience. The sites we design are also mobile responsive, meaning they look great on all devices—desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for Mobile Phlebotomy Websites
With more and more people using search engines to find the service providers they need, it is important that your mobile phlebotomy company’s website is optimized. That way, it will appear as one of the top results when people are searching for a company in your area with the services you offer.
Roughly 80% of people research companies online first. Are they finding your website or one of your competitors?
The SEO experts at Modmacro research the best keywords for your business and location, and craft a strategy around those keywords that help search engines like Google understand what you do, and help potential clients find you online.
