Doctors and nurses are similar to air, in that they’re vital, and you don’t miss them until you need them. If you’re in the pharma industry or manage a medical supply store that offers medical equipment to professionals (scrubs/uniforms, shoes, stethoscopes, otoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, pulse oximeters and so on), medical professionals are the air you breathe and your organization’s lifeblood. Facebook offers a number of options to target healthcare professionals, from RNs to specialized nurses and surgeons, hospital administrators and beyond. In this week’s edition of the Psychographic Targeting Hot House, Lea Scudamore, Production Manager at aimClear, prescribes six targeting tactics to reach these compassionate audiences: from medical professionals on the front lines in the fight against breast cancer to hospital administrators seeking the latest screening equipment within their hospital’s budget.

How Medical Practices & Practitioners Should Set Up Google My Business
This gets especially tricky when trying to manage Google Plus pages properly, as there are many guidelines and best practice solutions that one should adhere to when using the Google My Business product. The Basics: Page Types Before doing anything in Google My Business, it’s important to first make sure that we have a foundation of understanding to build upon.

But we do get reports like this from several other companies, including YP, xAd, JiWire and Verve Wireless, giving us a window into local and mobile search categories and queries, which can largely be extrapolated to the market as a whole.
