Traffic & Social Lift Potential When a Practice Blogs

Actively blogging practices attract up to 55 % more monthly visitors and long‑form posts earn up to 56 % more social shares than short pieces. 

Why is this important?

Traffic is nice; booked appointments pay the bills. Practices that publish consistently see up to 67 % more inquiries andslash cost‑per‑lead by roughly two‑thirds. Riley pairs every article with clear calls‑to‑action and analytics reviews, helping you turn readership into revenue while staying budget‑friendly—a promise grounded in data, not hype.

How Patients Start Their Care Journey Online

About 77 % of patients begin with Google, 72 % read reviews first, and health queries make up 7 % of all Google searches.

Why is this important?

Search drives up to 3× more traffic than any other channel, and the top three organic slots grab more than half of all clicks. Riley’s keyword mapping and on‑page SEO give you a fighting chance to climb that narrow podium—then stay there through ongoing Evaluate → Yield iterations. No shortcuts, no guarantees—just a proven process that steadily compounds visibility.

Why is this important?

More eyes ≠ more authority—unless those eyes land on quality content. A 55 % jump in visitors and a comparable lift in social sharing show what happens when search‑optimized articles meet genuinely helpful insights. Riley’s Research → Ideate → Launch workflow is built to capture up to those gains while protecting brand voice and clinical accuracy, so new traffic translates into lasting credibility—not empty clicks.

Blogging Drives More Leads at Lower Cost

Companies that blog capture 67 % more inbound leads while content marketing costs 62 % less than outbound tactics.

Why is this important?

When three‑quarters of patients start with Google and reviews, not showing up—or showing up without helpful content—means losing the conversation before it begins. Riley’s editorial calendars weave education with reputation‑building assets (think physician‑reviewed posts, patient‑safe language), positioning your practice where today’s digital journey actually starts. Results vary by market, but the stakes are universal.

SEO Advantage: From Visibility to Clicks

Search brings 3× more traffic to hospital sites than any other channel, and the top three organic results capture 54.4 % of clicks.

Content Types That Keep Audiences Engaged

Healthcare emails average a 41 % open rate, while posts that include infographics see 80 % higher readership than text‑only articles. 

Why is this important?

Getting a visitor is step one; keeping their attention is the long game. Healthcare emails already outperform most industries, and adding visual assets like infographics can boost on‑page readership up to 80 %. Riley integrates multimedia and drip‑email strategy into the same content stream, nurturing prospects until they’re ready to book—while respecting inbox fatigue and compliance standards.
