24. Poll: Does Parallax have any impact
on healthcare?
24
1. It will change what consumers expect, but
isn't viable in any way for healthcare orgs.
2. We may incorporate elements of Parallax for
a microsite or landing page, but not our main
website.

of Parallax.
4. Our next website will carry every element of
Parallax.

29. Mobile-first is Google-friendly
GoogleBot needs to detect that
the site:
Avoids software that is not
common on mobile devices,
like Flash
Uses text that is readable
without zooming
Sizes content to the screen
so users don’t have to scroll
horizontally or zoom
Places links far enough apart
so that the correct one can
be easily tapped

“Traditional” or “low-risk” marketing initiatives
Low-risk = you know they work

Blogs for service lines/boosting SEO or digitizing patient instructions
10% Experimental
“Fail fast” with new initiatives like Google Helpouts
