According to a research by Greystone, the health care industry is lagging in terms of digital marketing. In fact, the study concluded that health care institutions and organisations as a whole may need to further their efforts online to gain more digital footprint. That being said, businesses in this industry are commended for actively using their websites in their marketing strategies.

Elements of a Good Healthcare Website
- Responsive
Your website should be responsive and can be navigated or viewed properly when using other platforms or devices. This is a must since more than half of the people in the United States alone are active smartphone and tablet users. More importantly, it is seen that by 2017, almost 90 percent of the online traffic will be from smartphones and other handheld devices.
- Design
A good healthcare website has a modern design. It should be able to augment the presentation or dissemination of the information found on your site. Incorporating relevant images or videos will definitely make your website more appealing to the audience.
- Easy to understand
Information on your website should be accessed easily in a way that visitors need not to perform extensive navigation on your site just to extract the data they need. More so, the call-to actions (CTAs) of your website should be consistent and sensible.
- Optimised
Apart from having a visually pleasing web design and being responsive, your website should have contents that are optimised for search engine results. In doing so, your prospective clients will see what products or services your business are offering. For a more optimised result, you can research on your target consumers and find out what they are looking for in a certain product or service. For instance, if you sell nutraceuticals, incorporate keywords that are related on nutraceuticals in your content.
