Demonstrate Thought Leadership
Being a thought leader establishes your dental office as a reputable source in the dental industry, an important quality to potential patients. Post dental news and participate in industry Twitter Chats and Facebook Live opportunities.
Optimize Your Search Ranking
Claim Your Google “My Business” Page
With more people looking for a dentist on search engines, such as Google, this will help your practice show up in their search for dentists close to them.
Use Keywords
Include important information such as your practice’s name, dentist names, address, contact information and specific location information.
Trusted Referrals
As a dentist, you know the powerful connection between oral health and overall health. Connecting with local doctors for their recommendation can be a powerful patient-recruiting tool. This will require relationship building and networking. Make sure to get recommendations from dental specialists too—such as oral surgeons and orthodontists.
