Challenge
While Cornerstone DPC offered exceptional care, their online presence needed improvement. Their website, while informative, presented several challenges that hindered their ability to connect with the community:
- Outdated Design: The website’s aesthetic lacked vibrancy and failed to capture the clinic’s warm and inviting atmosphere. This could potentially discourage potential patients seeking a welcoming healthcare environment.
- Limited Patient Information: Crucial details regarding offered services, insurance options, and appointment scheduling were not readily accessible. This created a barrier for patients seeking quick and easy access to this vital information.
- Technical Expertise Gap: The clinic lacked the in-house resources to implement a comprehensive digital marketing strategy. This limited their ability to effectively reach a wider audience and attract new patients.
These limitations highlighted the need for a strategic approach to bridge the information gap and illuminate Cornerstone DPC’s exceptional services to a broader audience within the Sandpoint community and beyond.
