Optimizing your presence on Vetster

Are you looking to expand your client base and maximize your impact on Vetster? Follow these tips to increase your visibility to potential clients.

Being available during high-demand times such as evenings, overnights, weekends, and holidays when clients are searching is key to being booked. By expanding your schedule to include these periods, you increase the likelihood of getting booked by pet owners seeking timely assistance for acute needs.

Your visibility to potential clients is optimized when you confirm appointments in a timely manner.  Missing appointments because your calendar isn’t up to date can negatively impact your visibility to potential clients. Put Vetster’s time management tools to work for you, such as our one-click “pause my availability” feature, and consider syncing your calendar with your Vetster availability to make updating seamless.

Confirm appointments as soon as possible after receiving notification. Declining should be a rare, last resort for unforeseen, extenuating circumstances and decline rates are tracked - so please reach out to our support team if you are having a recurring issue. Owners prefer to see the veterinarian of their choice, so accepting all of your appointments optimizes your visibility on the platform. Keep this in mind along with our other Standards for Virtual Care Appointments so you can boost your visibility.

Selecting the shortest booking notice time you can manage improves your ranking with potential clients, especially when they have acute care needs. Most clients seek appointments within a 30-minutes window which means your responsiveness is key!

Use the full appointment time booked to give clients a level of care that leaves them eager to give you a 5-star review. Stay informed on virtual care best practices and exercise your communication skills so clients have an excellent experience. Address their main concern and provide additional care and coaching to deliver a valuable experience.

Use a profile picture and bio to present a professional image. Make sure prospective clients can see your face clearly, and consider holding a pet to promote your appreciation for the human-animal bond. Take the time to complete a profile that is easy to read and understand, and showcases your expertise so clients can get to know you.

Broaden your appeal by adding to your list of species treated and expanding the areas of interest listed in your profile. Catering to a diverse range of pets can attract a wider audience of potential clients.
