You likely didn’t hear much about search engine optimization (SEO) during dental school, but that doesn’t make it any less important in running a dental practice. In short, search engine optimization, or SEO, is the process of optimizing your website so that you rank higher in Google search results. And when it comes to marketing your practice, you can’t afford to ignore SEO.
The Importance of Dental SEO
Without an effective SEO strategy, you could miss out on patients looking for your services. SEO can help your website rank higher on searches, which helps more patients find your practice.
You need SEO because it brings more patients to your website, establishes credibility with those patients, and creates a better user experience on your site. Each of these things will not only help you schedule patients but also will help you schedule the right patients.
How to Develop an SEO Strategy
SEO is incredibly important when running a dental practice. SEO helps practices like yours get ahead of the competition, reach patients who don’t trust advertising, and give you big returns. If you rely exclusively on PPC ads for website traffic, you could miss out on more than half your audience. Your SEO strategy should include:
- Optimizing your practice website
- Boosting website performance
- Completing Your Google Business Profile
- Asking happy patients to leave practice reviews
- Creating social media accounts for your practice
- Obtaining quality backlinks
You may not feel like you have the bandwidth to create an SEO strategy. After all, you are busy focusing on procedures, patients, and staff. That is where we can help. We can help your practice develop an SEO strategy to bring your ideal patient to your site. And our clients see an average 300% return on their investment.
But don’t just take our word for it.
