Along with the challenges of operating your own dental practice, you must also implement effective dental marketing strategies that bring in new patients.
Digital marketing is crucial for growing your practice, but you are a dentist, not a marketer! How are you supposed to know what to do?
Don’t fret, we can teach you about four online tactics we highly recommend. Keep reading to learn more about digital marketing for dentists.
1. Facebook Marketing.
Want quick results? Try online advertising! We recommend using Facebook ads that direct traffic to your website. But proceed with caution. You’ll waste time and money on ineffective campaigns if you don’t know what you are doing.
Although setting up a Facebook campaign is pretty basic, optimizing the campaign for the best results is quite complicated. You will need to consider:
Nailing these down will help you identify the best advertising opportunities. But even creating the ad headline, image, and copy is no easy task. The ads must be able to grab the attention of your target market and convince them to click.
To avoid wasting money on ineffective campaigns, hire a professional campaign manager who will develop a customized plan that fits your budget and meets your goals. With the guidance of a highly-skilled expert, you can rest easy knowing your ads are bringing in more patients.
2. SEO
Does SEO intimidate you? That’s understandable, considering how challenging it is to rank on the first page of Google. SEO is complicated and can be difficult to master, and even the right tactics might take a long time to produce noticeable results. But if you are willing to be patient, a proper strategy can pay off big time in the long-run!
In our opinion, it’s necessary to address SEO. Why?
Because you want potential clients to find you online. If search engines don’t give your site greater visibility, potential patients will never find it and will continue to be unaware of your existence.
If you want to implement an SEO strategy, here is what you need to do:
As already mentioned, SEO requires a patient commitment. It won’t bring instant success. Instead, you will gradually climb the ranks, leading to increased online exposure and lead generation.
SEO also entails constant monitoring and analysis to ensure you are on the right track. Taking a look at the results of your SEO strategies lets you know when to make adjustments that produce more favorable outcomes.

Your Online Reputation has the power to make or break your practice. Keep in mind that ORM:
Both of those reasons for treating ORM seriously are pretty convincing, but how do you maintain a great reputation? You can accomplish this by:
It’s hard work managing your reputation on every single site your business is listed.

4. Website Development
What do all of the dental marketing strategies we have discussed so far have in common? A stellar website!
Your website should give visitors a taste of what it’s like to visit your office while standing out from your competitors. Here are some qualities your website absolutely needs to have:
You will also need to consider your website’s color palette, design, and different functions. It can be helpful to look at other websites for inspiration.
But you’re already busy caring for patients and running your business. Do you have time to learn a whole new skill, especially one as challenging as building a quality website?
