Patients too are using new ways to find doctors. They are depending on non-traditional sources, such as the internet, for example.

One reason for this is the migration patterns. Many professionals have moved to new cities, because the new home offers better job prospects. However, they have limited knowledge of the new city, and are thus using the internet and apps to find a variety of things and services, such as doctors, schools, and even restaurants and entertainment.

There is growing competition in the healthcare sector too, at least in the big cities. Just do a search on Google for the keyword "ophthalmologists in Bangalore" – you will find 3,29,000 results displayed. With so many options to choose from, it is difficult for a new ophthalmologist to find a constant flow of new patients. You really cannot blame a new ophthalmologist when he tries every new marketing technique to boost his service.

Most healthcare professionals, however, are not marketing savvy. They don't know how to advertise in Google or improve the web visibility of their websites. So they are always asking how to make the marketing more efficient.
