Even more appealing is Facebook\u2019s detailed targeting system. Facebook tracks its user base, gathering considerable information about each person on its platform.

Facebook ads for dentists are also affordable, with Facebook allowing you to set your budget. You\u2019re also <\/span>charged only when someone clicks your ad<\/span><\/a> (an average of <\/span>$0.97<\/span><\/a>). Here are some dental tips for Facebook on how to create a successful ad campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the obvious! As Facebook\u2019s targeting is one of its most attractive features, you\u2019ll be wasting your efforts if you don\u2019t make full use of it. <\/span>Facebook allows you to target<\/span><\/a> based on location (where users are), demographics (e.g. age, gender, education, and job), interests (e.g. hobbies, favourite films), behaviour (e.g. previous purchases), and connections (e.g. if they\u2019re linked to your page). This means you have to fully understand your desired demographics and target accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n
Don\u2019t put out a generic ad that can be used for any dentist\u2019s office! Think about your target demographics and what your practice has that can uniquely appeal to them. If your dental business is known to be family-friendly, use language and colourful images that reflect that, so customers with kids know they\u2019re welcome with you. <\/span><\/p>\n
Understanding your brand will generate more specific interest in your product. You can also add personal touches, such as real pictures of you or your staff, making you feel more reachable and real. Personalized Facebook ads for dentists help put your practice on the map.<\/span><\/p>\n
In a small amount of space, you need to relay a large amount of information to capture your audience\u2019s interest. Make sure every ad includes your business information, features at least one image or video (according to ad type, described below) to capture the audience\u2019s attention, and clearly outlines a call to action – namely, what you want the viewer to do.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t
Opencare is the only risk-free patient acquisition solution for dentists.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Facebook allows you to choose between various ad types. Images and Videos are the simplest, featuring one image or one video, respectively. Carousels can contain up to ten images or videos in a single advertisement, showcasing different aspects of your practice. There are also Stories, which cause your ads to appear as full-screen and vertical, and Slideshows, which flip between different pages.<\/span><\/p>\n
What ad type you choose might be determined by your target audience\u2019s behaviour – i.e. what kind of ads they are most likely to interact with. They should also be influenced by what you feel will show off your dental business\u2019s benefits the best. For example, if you have many high-quality pictures to share, featuring different services you offer, consider a Carousel or Slideshow rather than fit them into one Image.<\/span><\/p>\n
While having a Facebook page is important for your business, especially when using Facebook ads, you\u2019ll also want a personal website to send potential customers to. <\/span><\/p>\n
Your website can feature much more information, organized just how you like it. Design your website carefully and determine which pages you want ad-clickers to end up on when they show interest in your practice. The content they see there can be why they choose you and your services or decide to pass.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t
