8. Use robots.txt<\/b><\/h3>\n

Robots.txt is a text file that instructs search engine robots on what to read and index for their search engines. You control what pages you want them to focus on, meaning you can also hide pages that are still in development.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Create a sitemap<\/b><\/h3>\n

A sitemap is a list of all the pages that make up a website. When you create a sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console, it\u2019s easier for search engine bots to find your site\u2019s pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Get backlinks<\/b><\/h3>\n

When reputable websites link to your site, it tells Google your website is of high quality. Google wants people to view quality websites, so this improves your search ranking. There are a variety of ways to get backlinks,\u00a0 like promoting your content on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Link out to authority sites<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not just about getting backlinks\u2014you should link out when appropriate as well. Google checks the anchor text of your links to better understand what your content is about. Using links also shows potential patients\u00a0 that your information comes from reputable sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Update your website<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make sure your address, contact information, and business hours are current so potential patients can always get a hold of you. Photographs should show how your practice looks like currently. Updating your website lets visitors know your business is still running and gives them the best idea of what to expect if they become a patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Create a new logo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Trends come and go (and so do logos)! Depending on how old your practice is, your logo may need a fresh update.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Include patient testimonials<\/b><\/h3>\n

Testimonials are a great form of social proof that highlight the excellent service prior patients received. You can incentivize customers to leave reviews as well as pull from reviews on other platforms such as Yelp. (Pro tip: testimonials including a photograph or video will perform better.)<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Allow for online appointment booking\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Many people rather skip the phone and book their appointment online. Make sure your website allows for this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Install\u00a0 a live chat<\/b><\/h3>\n

People who dislike talking on the phone or don\u2019t have time to wait for an email response appreciate a live chat feature on websites. Most live chats are simple to install (just some copy and pasting code). This is a crucial dental office marketing tip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for Enriching Your Dentistry Blog.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Blogs build trust in your brand, improve SEO, and engage your patients. However, not all blogs are created equal\u2014and you should <\/span>only<\/span><\/i> create a dentistry blog if you plan to post high-quality content. Here\u2019s some tips below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Post educational and engaging content<\/b><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t write your blog posts like advertisements. Instead, they should show your dental expertise and have informative content readers will want to share with their community. Professional writers can be very useful in creating blog content that drives traffic to your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Post regularly<\/b><\/h3>\n

It doesn\u2019t work to just put up a few blog posts at the beginning and then never post again. Posting fresh content on a regular schedule looks professional, helps SEO, and regularly brings new visitors to your website. This can have a major impact on the effectiveness of your dental office marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Have both evergreen and timely content<\/b><\/h3>\n

Evergreen content is always relevant and useful, no matter when it\u2019s read. Timely content involves current events and topics that are popular at the moment, but become less relevant over time. Both types of content are great to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Link to your content and other sites<\/b><\/h3>\n

When one of your blog posts mentions a topic you\u2019ve written a more in-depth article about, link to that article. The links help readers learn more about topics they are interested in and keeps them on your website longer. Also link to relevant information on other websites.<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Add social media buttons<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make it easy for people to share your blog posts by having social media buttons they can click to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Add an RSS feed<\/b><\/h3>\n

RSS, which stands for \u201creally simple syndication,\u201d<\/span><\/a> allows people to gather all the content from various blogs that they\u2019re interested in, put it in one feed, and get updates on new content. By adding an RSS feed, you\u2019re allowing people with an RSS reader to add your content and increasing how many overall readers you\u2019ll have.<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Enable reader comments<\/b><\/h3>\n

Some readers will have questions about your content or want to share personal experiences. Turning on the comment functionality gives them that opportunity. These comments can give you insights on what your patients (and potential patients) have experienced and what they would like future content to focus on. Consider an anti-spam filter to weed out spam comments from bots or inappropriate responses.<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Reply to comments<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make sure you answer any questions in your comments.\u00a0 Your answers will show readers you\u2019re paying attention and care what they say. This can make a big difference in your dental office marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Ask for topic suggestions<\/b><\/h3>\n

Reading comments can help you come up with topic ideas, but you can also directly ask readers what they want to learn about. This takes the pressure off of you to always have fresh ideas and ensures you\u2019re giving readers the information they care about.<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Try guest posting<\/b><\/h3>\n

Aside from hosting your own blog, there are benefits to contributing content to other websites. You can link back to your website to increase traffic and get attention from potential patients. Guest posting also opens up opportunities to do partnerships and cross-promotions.<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Embrace video content<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your blog section doesn\u2019t just have to be text and images. Videos can attract attention as well. Upload short videos about oral health and dentistry that people will want to share with others (remember to have social media buttons for easy sharing).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"dental<\/picture><\/h3>\n

28. Ways to Advertise Your Dentistry Services<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your website, blog, and social media are incredible ways to gain patients over time; but sometimes you just need to fill that dental chair more quickly. Advertisements are a wonderful way to get quick boosts in traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

29. PPC Advertisements<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising lets you target potential patients who\u2019ve been searching for a dentist in the area. You pay each time someone clicks your ad.<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Geo-targeting<\/b><\/h3>\n

Geo-targeting, also called local PPC, allows you to advertise to people where your various dental practices are located. It determines a person\u2019s location and returns the page that\u2019s most relevant to their location so they\u2019ll see the practice that is closest to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

31. Retargeting<\/b><\/h3>\n

Create advertisements specifically for people who have visited your website but didn\u2019t book an appointment. This is a really simple yet effective dental office marketing tip.<\/span><\/p>\n

36. Visit the Chamber of Commerce<\/b><\/h3>\n

Attending Chamber of Commerce meetings helps you to network with other local businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

37. MeetUp events<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make an effort to attend fun and informal events found on Meetup.com so that you can network with potential patients and future business partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Join BNI<\/b><\/h3>\n

39. Create your own meetup<\/b><\/h3>\n

If the organized groups in your area don\u2019t appeal to you, create your own networking events. You can promote these events on your social media channels or on Meetup.com.<\/span><\/p>\n

40. Pass out business cards<\/b><\/h3>\n

No matter the networking events, make sure to bring business cards so others can easily contact you.<\/span><\/p>\n

49. Start an email list<\/b><\/h3>\n

Email lists are an amazing way to share valuable content and promote your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

50. Perform live demos<\/b><\/h3>\n

Live demonstrations can create a lot of buzz and interest in your practice. Make sure to heavily promote demonstrations on your website, through social media, and in press releases.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your practice isn\u2019t using social media, you\u2019ll miss out on endless opportunities to reach these people. Social media is an incredible way to promote yourself and to stay in contact with patients. Dental office marketing is very effective on social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

51. Link to your website<\/b><\/h3>\n

While you don\u2019t constantly want to be self-promoting on your social media, occasionally linking to content on your website can boost your website\u2019s overall traffic. Once on your optimized site, you can urge people to book appointments.<\/span><\/p>\n

52. Ask questions<\/b><\/h3>\n

54. Reply to reviews<\/b><\/h3>\n

Claim your profiles on popular review sites and make sure your profile is accurate and complete. Thank patients who left positive reviews and reach out to those who provided any negative feedback. This is a crucial dental office marketing tip.<\/span><\/p>\n

55. Promote discounts and deals<\/b><\/h3>\n

By mentioning current deals and discounts, you can entice new patients to book an appointment. They may also share your post with others who could benefit from the discount.<\/span><\/p>\n

56. Host a giveaway<\/b><\/h3>\n

People like discounts, but they <\/span>love<\/span><\/i> the chance to get something for FREE!. If you have people submit an email address to enter a giveaway, you can use that to market to them later. Make your prize relevant to your field, such as a free teeth whitening or dental products.<\/span><\/p>\n

57. Comment on others\u2019 posts<\/b><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t have your social media plan focus only on what <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> post. Interact with other people\u2019s posts with likes and comments. When people see an interesting comment, it can draw them to your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

58. Link to blog posts<\/b><\/h3>\n

Linking to blog posts on your website increases your website\u2019s traffic. You can pull an interesting quote or statistic from the article to give a hint at what the rest of the article holds.<\/span><\/p>\n

59. Make announcements<\/b><\/h3>\n

Is your location changing? Are you going to have different business hours for the holidays? Regular patients may not frequently check your website, but they are often on social media. Use your media channels to make any important announcements that may affect them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

60. Introduce new services or staff<\/b><\/h3>\n

Get the word out about your new services or staff members with a social post. This can encourage people to learn more about your services and potentially use them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

61. Provide advice<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not every social media post has to be long and elaborate. Patients appreciate short tips and tricks for good dental health as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

62. Position yourself as an authority<\/b><\/h3>\n

Social media allows you to show your expertise. For example, answering people\u2019s dentistry questions on Quora can show how knowledgeable you are about dental health.<\/span><\/p>\n

63. Discuss current events in dentistry<\/b><\/h3>\n

Link to articles about new dental research, upcoming technologies, and interesting interviews. Sharing current events shows you know the latest happenings in your field and these types of posts are often passed on to others.<\/span><\/p>\n

64. Use images and videos<\/b><\/h3>\n

Visuals are reshared more on social media than text posts alone.<\/span> Research by Buffer<\/span><\/a> shows that when they included images in tweets; they received more clicks, favorites, and retweets.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Benefits<\/picture><\/h3>\n

65. Use social bookmarking sites<\/b><\/h3>\n

Social bookmarking websites such as Reddit, Digg, and StumbleUpon can increase your website traffic. However, when using these sites it\u2019s essential to provide as much value as possible and not come off as too self-promotional.<\/span><\/p>\n

66. Facebook Messenger<\/b><\/h3>\n

When people perform a designated action on Facebook, such as downloading something from your website or commenting on one of your posts, they become a subscriber to your Messenger list. Once they\u2019ve subscribed, you can automatically message them appointment reminders, specials offers, or any other type of message.<\/span> Messenger has an over 80 percent open rate<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

67. Create tutorials<\/b><\/h3>\n

One important dental office marketing tip is to create video tutorials showing your services and products. This can be posted to YouTube and shared over other social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

68. Evaluate analytics<\/b><\/h3>\n

Check the analytics of your social media posts to see which type of content is working best for your brand. Do more of what is working and less of what isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

69. Encourage sharing<\/b><\/h3>\n

When promoting a discount or giveaway, encourage users to share with others. Optionally, it can be an entry requirement for a contest. When it isn\u2019t a contest, you can still encourage people to share a post others would have useful. For example, if you linked to a recent blog post about dentures, you can encourage people to share it with someone considering getting a pair of dentures.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Design a Dental Waiting Room Patients Enjoy.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your waiting room impacts the first impression patients develop when they enter your practice. Here\u2019s how to make sure they\u2019re relaxed and not anxious.<\/span><\/p>\n

70. Make it easy to find<\/b><\/h3>\n

Have signs at the building\u2019s entrance that make it easy to locate your waiting room.<\/span><\/p>\n

71. Add cozy elements<\/b><\/h3>\n

Having plants and other \u201ccozy\u201d items will make patients feel more at home and relaxed.<\/span><\/p>\n

72. Have comfortable seating<\/b><\/h3>\n

When patients arrive tired and have to wait for their appointment, you want them to be able to sit somewhere soft and uncrowded. Comfortable, moveable chairs will relax them and give them a sense of control if they want to change where they are sitting.<\/span><\/p>\n

73. Use calm colors<\/b><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t have a plain white sterile feeling room. \u00a0 Instead, use warm and inviting colors like green (which promotes serenity) and yellow (which promotes positivity).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

74. Play music<\/b><\/h3>\n

A study conducted at the University of Montreal discovered that dental patients who listen to music before their treatment have<\/span> fewer stress hormones<\/span><\/a> than people who try to relax their nerves with medication.<\/span><\/p>\n

75. Have a self check-in<\/b><\/h3>\n

A new trend is to have tablets that allow patients to check-in without assistance so they don\u2019t have to wait in line..<\/span><\/p>\n

76. Market in your waiting room<\/b><\/h3>\n

Among other reading materials, include brochures showing services you provide.<\/span><\/p>\n

77. Provide digital entertainment<\/b><\/h3>\n

Televisions, tablets with headphones, and other entertainment reduce patients\u2019 stress as they wait for their appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

78. Update posters<\/b><\/h3>\n

Much like your website, it\u2019s important to keep your waiting room updated. Frequently remove any time-sensitive posters about past events or expired promotions.<\/span><\/p>\n

79. Accessible bathrooms<\/b><\/h3>\n

Signs in the waiting room should make it clear where patients can find a bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

80. Have enough space for movement<\/b><\/h3>\n

People should be able to walk around the room with ease and reach any items they need without obstacles in their path.<\/span><\/p>\n

81. Be minimalist<\/b><\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t need to over-design your waiting room. Simple designs work well too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ways to Make Wait Times More Enjoyable.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Even if your waiting room has a world-class design, patients don\u2019t want to feel as if they\u2019ve been sitting in it for an eternity. Do your best to reduce wait times or at least make it feel as if patients haven\u2019t been waiting long.<\/span><\/p>\n

82. Shorten wait times<\/b><\/h3>\n

According to the healthcare market research company Vitals; people in Alaska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin typically have the shortest wait times. It takes an average of 16 minutes to be seen. In comparison; people in Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi have the<\/span> longest wait times<\/span><\/a>. They spend nearly half an hour waiting. The shorter the wait time, the happier patient!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Short<\/picture><\/h3>\n

83. Have outlets and chargers<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make it easy for people to charge their phones and other devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

84. Add a retail area<\/b><\/h3>\n

Allow patients to browse and buy dental care items. Shopping can make time feel as if it\u2019s passing faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

85. Estimate wait times<\/b><\/h3>\n

Data from the firm Sequence shows that 55 percent of<\/span> patients wish they could see estimated wait times<\/span><\/a> while in the waiting room.<\/span><\/p>\n

86. Have digital signage<\/b><\/h3>\n

Digital signage has been shown to<\/span> decrease perceived patient wait time<\/span><\/a> by about 33 percent. Additionally, it helps you educate your patients and spread valuable information.<\/span><\/p>\n

87. Have a waiting room liaison<\/b><\/h3>\n

A waiting room liaison greets patients, asks if they have any questions, and preferably is familiar with their profiles and situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

88. Provide free WiFi<\/b><\/h3>\n

WiFi is one of the best ways to keep patients distracted and not thinking about how long they have been waiting. Sometimes they are taking off work for an appointment and would like to catch up on emails while they wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental Office Marketing Tips for Providing Great Customer Service.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Providing a great onboarding process and well-trained staff will make a major impact on how positive patients feel about your dental practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

89. Be familiar with the website<\/b><\/h3>\n

People who call your office will often refer to something from your website. Make sure staff are knowledgeable about website content.<\/span><\/p>\n

90. Provide forms on your website<\/b><\/h3>\n

Having forms online allows patients to fill them out whenever it is most convenient for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

91. Have physical forms ready<\/b><\/h3>\n

There will always be people who want to fill out the forms in person (or didn\u2019t realize they needed to fill them out), so always have physical copies ready.<\/span><\/p>\n

92. Know commonly asked questions<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s likely a lot of patients will have the same questions. Be prepared with the answers so the onboarding process goes as smoothly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

93. Keep a positive attitude<\/b><\/h3>\n

Always greet patients with a smile and a good mood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

94. Don\u2019t shame patients<\/b><\/h3>\n

While it\u2019s necessary to teach patients how to keep their mouths healthy, shaming them about poor dental hygiene will make them feel embarrassed and not want to return.<\/span><\/p>\n

95. Update your equipment<\/b><\/h3>\n

Having new equipment shows patients you\u2019re a successful practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

96. Keep in touch<\/b><\/h3>\n

Send your patients mail to wish them a happy birthday or happy holidays. You can also remind them of upcoming appointments or new deals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

97. Ask for advice<\/b><\/h3>\n

Follow up with patients with a short survey about their experience to learn how to improve your practice. An incentive, such as a chance to win a prize, will garner more completed surveys.<\/span><\/p>\n

98. Extend business hours<\/b><\/h3>\n

It can be stressful for patients to take time off of work to go to the dentist. Extend business hours by even an hour earlier or later to give patients the ability to go before or after work.<\/span><\/p>\n

3 tips for providing the best patient experience during COVID-19.<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0Life has definitely entered a period of adjusting to \u201cthe new normal.\u201d People have been staying at home and social distancing from their family and friends. Patients are nervous, and understandably so. But, there are things you can do to ease their mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

99. Use visible sanitization\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The best thing you can do to ease your patients\u2019 minds is to make sure that sanitation measures are strictly followed. Masks, hand sanitizer, and visible sanitization measures should be done at a minimum in front of your patients to show that they\u2019re safe. Provide sanitizer throughout the office. Even though dentists have already been extremely vigilant about sanitation, it\u2019s important to talk about it and let your patients know the steps you\u2019re taking to keep them safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

100. Minimize interactions with people\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Social distancing is one of the main ways we can all do our part to stop the spread of the virus. Your patients want to avoid unnecessary contact with people. One of the ways you can do that is by allowing for contactless check-in, plexiglass between your reception and your patients, and making sure that your waiting room is always empty.\u00a0 Now is a great time to use technology to your advantage. Apps like Opencare, to communicate with your patients and iPads to check-in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

101. Display safety standards and proof of infection control<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0When we asked our Opencare patients how they felt about their dentist having proof of infection control and following proper sanitation guidelines, 29% said they felt confident and trusted their dentist to follow proper protocol. Another 40% said they felt confident, while 18% said they felt worried, and 12% said they felt anxious and would want to see certification or proof. Much like our first suggestion, make safety visible to ease your patient\u2019s mind. Display signs outlining symptoms of COVID-19, reminders to sanitize and wash hands and even email your patient ahead of their appointments or message them on Opencare with a \u201cWhat we\u2019re doing to keep you safe message.<\/span><\/p>\n
