The Veterinary Marketing Podcast Brandon Breshears

In this episode, we're unpacking everything you need to know about Google Ads for your vet practice. It's like finding a map to buried treasure, but instead of gold, it's full of strategies to attract the perfect pet parents to your clinic. We're not just talking about any clicks here; we're aiming for clicks that count, clicks that turn into loyal clients who trust you with their furry friends.
Now, let's chat about the magic of targeting the right crowd. Picture this: you're not casting a wide net hoping to catch a few fish; you're choosing the right bait for the fish you want. That's the minimum viable audience for you. It's about getting super specific with who you're talking to, so your message hits home every time. And when it comes to where your ads show up, it's a whole buffet of options. Search campaigns are your go-to, but there's also this new kid on the block called Performance Max campaigns. They're like the smart kids in class, using all the data to make sure your ad gets seen by folks who are actually looking for vet services.
But hey, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We've got to talk about the pitfalls too, like those sneaky smart campaigns that might drain your budget faster than a puppy chews a slipper. And then there's the art of choosing the right keyword match types – it's a balancing act. Plus, we can't forget about display and shopping ads. They've got their quirks, but they can work wonders for your brand and online store if you play your cards right.
So, to wrap this up, mastering Google Ads is like being a digital marketing wizard for your vet practice. It's about making smart choices, analyzing the heck out of your data, and always keeping your eye on the prize – helping pets and their humans. Tune in to the episode, and let's take your practice to the next level together. Here's to making your vet practice the talk of the town (or the internet, in this case). Catch you on the podcast!

I've got some fresh, hot-off-the-press content for you today. First off, I've got to say sorry for the unexpected break—caught a bit of a bug, but I'm back and better than ever, ready to roll out weekly episodes just for you.

Now, let's get into the good stuff. I had this amazing chat with Harrison King, the marketing whiz who's been shaking things up over at All Star Veterinary Clinic. This guy's story is like a rollercoaster—he went from dreaming about video game design to diving headfirst into video editing and social media, and boy, did he make a splash. He crafted this killer business plan that rocketed his folks' vet clinic into the limelight of the digital world.
We talked about how he navigated the social media maze, shifting gears from Facebook to Instagram, and then hitting it big with TikTok. His focus on content that educates and inspires led to a client boom at the clinic. Sure, they hit a few snags with ownership changes and sponsorship hiccups, but Harrison's a firm believer in the power of strategic partnerships, even for the little guys. And when I poked around about ROI, he admitted it's tough to pin down the direct effects, but consistency is your best friend when it comes to content and making those social media ads pop. Plus, with folks leaning towards more personal, phone-friendly content, it's time to rethink our approach to production and quality.
Wrapping things up, Harrison gave us a peek into the future of social media marketing, talking about TikTok's shopping features and how targeted advertising is shaping up. He's all about planning with purpose and creating content that hits hard. And let's not forget the art of the hook and storytelling—because let's face it, those flashy edits just aren't cutting it anymore.

In this episode, I'm the guy behind the mic at the Veterinary Marketing Podcast. I just wrapped up an amazing chat with Esteban Sotomayor, the mastermind running All Pets Hospital Veterinarians in Quito, Ecuador. We really got into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to stand out in the bustling vet scene over there, and let me tell you, Esteban's insights are pure gold. I can't wait to share with you all the smart strategies and deep dives into the world of veterinary marketing that we covered.
Ecuador's vet market is something else, with more than 700 clinics in Quito alone! Esteban shared how he's making waves by doing things differently. He's got this killer approach to bringing in and keeping top-notch talent by giving vet students real-world experience and then making sure they stick around by keeping the job fresh and exciting. And when it comes to marketing, he's all about that premium client experience – think short wait times, spotless facilities, and a personal touch that makes all the difference. Plus, he's got social media down to an art, using Instagram to show off just how great his clinic is.
Esteban's also big on learning from the best, taking cues from Disney to up his communication and client service game. He's a pro at understanding his clientele, using tools like WhatsApp to keep the conversation flowing, and he knows the importance of aligning his brand with what pet owners are looking for. We even talked about how these strategies aren't just for Ecuador – they're universal. Your team is your brand's biggest cheerleader, and getting that client-practice fit just right is key. I'm already looking forward to catching up with Esteban again to dive even deeper.

In this episode, I've got to tell you about this amazing chat I had with Derral Eves. If you haven't heard of him, he's the genius who's been helping YouTube stars like Mr. Beast become household names, and he's the brains behind Vid Summit. We got together to talk about something I'm super passionate about: leveraging YouTube for local businesses, especially for my fellow vets out there. And before we jump in, a huge thanks to WhiteSpark and CallRail for supporting our show and helping businesses shine with local SEO and call tracking.
Now, let me tell you about Derral's journey. This guy started his digital marketing agency way back in '99 and pivoted to YouTube when it was just a fledgling platform in 2005. He's not just a marketing whiz; he's also a dad to five kids down in southern Utah. His personal story is a testament to how YouTube can revolutionize the way we build audiences and make money.
In our conversation, Derral dropped some serious knowledge about the unique advantages YouTube has over other platforms like TikTok. We're talking about real revenue and engagement potential here. He shared stories of success from all kinds of niches, proving that no matter how specialized your interest is, there's room for you on YouTube. For us in the veterinary field, this is golden. I even shared how Dr. Cody Gillman's YouTube channel skyrocketed to 60,000 subscribers, boosting his practice and making it a magnet for young talent in the industry.
Derral's parting wisdom? Focus on your passion, not just the views. Whether you're starting a new channel or building on an existing one, clarity and consistency are your best friends. And don't worry about being too niche – it's all about finding your unique specialty and owning it. Remember to check your YouTube data now and then, but don't obsess over it. Keep an eye on metrics like click-through rates and viewer behavior post-video to keep improving your content.
Wrapping up, I'm just blown away by the potential YouTube has for vets and local businesses. It's not just about growing your practice; it's about building a community and sharing your passion with the world. So, if you're a vet looking to make a mark, or you're just starting out, consider this your sign to dive into video marketing on YouTube. It could be the best move you make for your business. Thanks for tuning in, and I can't wait to see where your YouTube journey takes you!
