Beyond ‘Time on Page’

Measure What Really Matters

Traditional metrics can’t capture real HCP intent. Discover M3’s evidence based framework designed to give pharmaceutical marketers a clearer, more accurate view of digital engagement.

Why Time on Page Isn’t Enough

An HCP spends five minutes on your page while switching between patient notes and phone calls. Another reviews key sections in seconds, interacts with multiple elements, and saves the content for later.

Which one is genuinely engaged?

Time alone can’t tell you.

As therapeutic areas become increasingly complex, marketers need metrics that reflect true professional intent. Time based measures often blur passive browsing with purposeful activity — making it difficult to understand what’s resonating.

Leaders now expect customer experience insights that link engagement to prescribing behaviour and patient impact. Your measurement approach should support that level of precision.

The M3 Solution

Introducing M3’s Three Tier Engagement Framework

Built on decades of HCP behavioural analysis, M3’s proprietary framework combines multiple engagement signals to more accurately identify intent. The result: three clear and actionable audience segments.

Deep Engagers

(25%)

Your most valuable audience. These HCPs interact meaningfully — viewing all content, returning four or more times, making multiple clicks, or engaging for 240+ seconds. This behaviour strongly correlates with clinical interest and prescribing potential.

Core Engagers

(50%)

A consistent and highly relevant group. These users scroll 10%+, return once, interact within the content, or stay engaged for 13+ seconds. Ideal for targeted education and nurturing.

Casual Engagers

(25%)

Lighter touch, but still important for awareness. Understanding their patterns helps shape content and pathways that encourage progression over time.

What This Means for Your Strategy

Tailor your content to where each audience segment is in their decision journey — from advanced clinical resources to structured nurture pathways.

Link engagement behaviours with downstream outcomes, including regional prescribing trends and adoption rates.

In some therapy areas, improved experience has shown to increase prescribing odds by 3–4×. Our framework gives you the insight needed to consistently optimise.

Simple, well‑defined segments with direct strategic implications — helping you communicate value and secure investment with confidence.
