Coming Soon… New Practitioner Profiles
- Posted by Fahed Bizzari on Dec 20, 2014
Healthcare practitioners don’t usually have their professional websites because they’re too much hassle.
You have to work with designers, developers and hosting companies. You then have to rank well in the search engines. You also have to manage the content. And, to get social proof, you have to ask for, collect and publish testimonials. You also have to prove that they’re not fake.
Well, the new Silla practitioner profiles will change this for you. They’re more beautiful, comprehensive and personal than ever before.
So, what does that mean?
More Personal
To make your profile as “yours” as possible, we’ve decided to step out of the limelight.
Your photo now takes centre stage and we’ve faded our logo out. We also hide the rest of our website and only show it when someone clicks on the faded out logo. And, at a technical level, your profile gets a weblink like silla.co/drmichael. And, if you like, we can even help you get set up with your own domain name (like www.drmichael.com).
This means that your Silla profile can act like your own professional website.
More Comprehensive
Silla has always been great at helping prospective patients find you. Now it helps practitioners wanting to connect and refer patients.
Practitioners can learn about your clinical specialities and interests, the symptoms you treat, the procedures you perform, any recognitions you’ve received, articles or research you’ve published, presentations you’ve delivered and relevant multimedia.
Most interestingly, they can see the list of practitioners that endorse you. For them, that’s far more important than seeing your recommendations (which are still there).
More Beautiful
Everyone appreciates our commitment to aesthetic appeal. And with the new profiles, we’ve taken that commitment even further. “Bright and Alive” is our design team’s guiding principle. And it shows in the new design.
So, not only do you get a comprehensive profile that looks like your own website. But it’s beautiful too.
The best of both worlds
Having your own website is good because you can personalise it. It’s bad, though, because you have to work with designers, developers and hosting companies. You also have to make it findable and manage the content. And after all that, people often find self-published recommendations suspicious.
With the new Silla profiles, you get the good without the bad. You get a comprehensive profile that acts like your own professional website. Its beautiful, easy to manage and ranks well on Google. And we – a 3rd party – verify your recommendations.
And the pricing is fair too.
If you’ve got a super tight budget, a free profile gives you everything except that visitors only see 5 patient recommendations and practitioner endorsements. They also see a list of “similar practitioners” on the side.
Otherwise, if you appreciate the value of social proof, upgrade for a small fee. Visitors will then see all your recommendations and endorsements. We’ll take the list of similar practitioners off your profile. And, if you’re recommended, we’ll list you as a similar practitioner on other free profiles.
And if you need help with your bio or photo, we can help you for a small set-up fee.
New profiles are coming soon
We’ve finished designing the new profiles and they’ll go live on our new site. We do, however, want to work with a handful of Early Adopter practitioners to make sure they are truly comprehensive. If you’d like us to consider working with you as an Early Adopter, please contact us ASAP.
