Local factors that shape dietitian advertising performance in Portland and Oregon.
Healthcare advertising must comply with HIPAA for patient testimonials, FDA regulations for treatment claims, and state medical board guidelines. Insurance network status must be accurately represented.
Population aging, insurance enrollment periods, and preventive care trends drive demand. Medicare open enrollment (Oct–Dec) creates major seasonal spikes for many specialties.
Seasonal patterns vary by specialty — allergy seasons for allergists, flu season for primary care, winter for mental health, summer for dermatology and sports medicine.
Google Search (50–70%), Google LSAs (10–20%), Healthgrades/ZocDoc (5–15%), Meta (5–10%). Directory listings matter more in healthcare than most verticals.
