Content marketing for animal hospitals: wall notices that point to each door

Content marketing for animal hospitals, in our hands, is the run of notices hung along the corridor walls: short pages that answer a stranger's question about finding a hospital and then point an arrow at the right door. We call each notice a Strategic Content Asset. Every month's batch is planned with you, written by us and held back until you approve it.

None of it carries care advice. A notice answers where, which or how to arrive at reception, and stops there.

Between the doors

A corridor of doors still needs words on the walls

Department pages are the door signs. A stranger standing between two doors, though, is still asking something: which of these is mine, does this place reach my town, which entrance do I use. A wall notice answers that question in a few short paragraphs and ends with an arrow to the matching door.

This is the part of content marketing that suits an animal hospital, because every topic comes off your own lists. Your department names, your list of animals, each town you serve and every way into reception: we turn each of those into a notice. A searcher who types pet hospital near me might meet a notice first and a department page second.

Where a notice would need a claim to work, it stays in the drawer. Where it cannot be written as a pointer, it is not hung.

Four kinds of notice on the wall

  • Door note

    One notice for each door on your list

    Written from your own department names and finished with an arrow to that department's page.

  • Town note

    A notice for each town you serve

    Says which towns the hospital serves and how the roads reach the entrance, using road names you supply.

  • Animals note

    A notice for the animals you list

    Names the animals you chose to list, in your wording, and points to the matching door.

  • Arrival note

    A notice beside the sliding doors

    States which entrance to use and how to contact the front desk, taken from the details you give us.

What each notice answers, and what you hand over first

A month on the rota, from topic list to wall

  1. Pick topics from your lists

    Departments, towns, animals and entrances are the only well we draw from. The count for the month is set by the plan you hold.

  2. Draft each notice

    We write in your hospital's voice, one question per notice, ending in a single arrow to a page.

  3. Hold for your approval

    No notice goes up unread by you, and a revised notice returns to you before it replaces the old one.

  4. Hang, link and tally

    Each notice goes up with its arrow in place. The handover sheet counts calls and forms by page, one month's work passed on as one shift passes to the next.

Rules a wall notice must pass before it goes up

  • It says where, which or how to reach, and holds no care advice.
  • It names only departments, towns and animals from your lists.
  • It carries no price, no hours promise and no comparison with another hospital.
  • It finishes with an arrow to one page.
  • It keeps clients, pets and records out of its text.
  • It speaks in the hospital's voice, not ours.
  • It waits for your approval.
  • It is revisited when a department or town changes.

A notice that fails a rule is rewritten or dropped, never hung as it stands.

Three beliefs owners bring to content marketing

Overheard at receptionA blog the hospital must keep feeding is what content marketing means.

What the floor plan showsOurs are notices with one job each, pointing to a page. Volume follows the plan you hold, not a posting treadmill.

Overheard at receptionGood content has to explain how animals are looked after.

What the floor plan showsCare advice lies outside our work and outside the notices. Ours answer how to find the hospital and choose a door.

Overheard at receptionMore notices mean more calls.

What the floor plan showsA notice counts only if its arrow lands on a real page. The handover sheet shows which notices sent calls and forms, and quiet ones are rewritten.

How long the wall runs for each corridor length

A longer corridor has more wall to hang notices on. The cards below show where each plan stops; the starter corridor sits beneath them.

Questions owners put to the notice desk

Do the notices give care advice?
No. Each one answers a question about finding or reaching the hospital and then points to a page.
Who approves a notice before it goes up?
You do. Drafts are held until you have read them.
Which topics do you pick?
Only the ones that come from your lists: departments, towns, animals and ways to reach reception.
How would I know a notice is working?
On the handover sheet, calls and forms are tallied per page, so each notice's arrow can be followed to the door it serves.
Does this replace the department pages?
No. Those are the door signs, and the notices hang between them; see animal hospital SEO for the door signs.

Tell the desk which walls are bare

Name the departments you want noticed in the message box, or take a callback slot and have the CEO ring you at that time.

Which departments should be signed first?

Tell us which departments should fill up first, which towns send clients your way, and which shelters, rescues, trainers and breeders refer them. Leave client names, pet names and record details out entirely.

Tell reception about the hospital

Name the departments to build up, the towns you draw from and the groups that send you clients. A short paragraph is enough, and a human reads every note.

Pick a weekday and half hour. When it arrives, the phone number above rings, and the voice is our CEO, Ross Cohen.

When should we ring?

The time you choose will appear in this line.

Slots are weekday half hours, converted to the zone you select.

Every floor line ends at one front desk

On the call we choose the first departments to sign, the towns to aim at them and the platform to open with, then sketch the first month together.

These doors slide open for the drawing alone and promise nothing.
