See your overall digital marketing reach and measure its results
According to the Chiropractic Economics 2021 Salary and Expenses Survey, the average chiropractic professional spends $6,304 on advertising each year, while group practices spend more than three times that amount, $21,016. By monitoring the effectiveness of your advertising campaigns, you can know if you are generating enough revenue. One way he does this is by measuring the reach of his digital marketing practices and evaluating their results.
What is reach in digital marketing?
In the digital world, the term “reach” refers to the number of people who have seen an ad or other online content at least once. For example, if you run a Facebook ad and 200 people see it, your ad has a digital reach of 200.
Technically, digital reach can be divided into three categories:
- organic reach is the number of unique users who saw a particular type of content you posted but didn’t pay. Examples of content that thrives in terms of organic or free reach include blog posts, social media posts, and online videos.
- Paid reach Refers to the number of people who have seen content that they paid to post, such as when running advertising campaigns on social media sites. Paid reach can be affected by many factors, including your budget and how you target your audience.
- viral reach is the number of people who saw online content and posted it to their social media news feeds because someone they knew interacted with it. If they also interact with it, your content will be even more viral, giving you even more digital reach.
Why Digital Reach Matters
One of the reasons you want to know reach in digital marketing is that it can provide insight into whether your content is meeting its goals.

By paying attention to your digital marketing reach, you can also tell if your posts and ads are encouraging people to engage with your practice. The more people feel compelled to interact with your content, the greater your reach, both organically and virally. And if they feel compelled to respond to paid advertising, your paid reach is well worth the cost.
Digital reach measurement option
Some platforms provide this information when measuring reach on social media.For example, when posting to Facebook, below the post is[インサイトと広告を表示]You can click the link to This will give you reach for your posts. Also, post impressions (the number of times a post has been viewed, which can include multiple views by the same person) and post engagement (likes, comments, or shares).
Other social media platforms do not provide reach statistics. Twitter and LinkedIn are two. Impressions are provided to show how many times your content has been viewed, but you can’t necessarily tell how many unique people viewed your post and how many people viewed it multiple times. So while this metric may be better than nothing, it also gives an incomplete picture.
If you’re working with a marketing company, they may be able to provide you with digital reach data. With access to more measurement tools for the digital world, you can better determine how many people are watching your content.
assess the extent of practice
Once you have the data, consider how well your content is performing in terms of reach.
- Have you reached your desired number of people?
- Do some types of content reach better than others?
- Limited reach, good conversion rates?
- Or do you have great reach but few conversions to actual leads?
Look at your overall digital marketing reach and evaluate the results. If your reach is high and your practice is growing as a result, keep doing what you’re doing. But if your reach is low or you’re not converting leads, it’s time to take a look at your online content and how it’s communicating with your customers and potential new patients. Modifications may be required for better results.
