Utilize Social Media

Social media is an effective way to reach potential and current clients and to participate in industry news and innovations.

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
This is important to do for people who search for dentists either on Google Maps or on search, as it helps establish which practices are closest to them.

Use Keywords
Include important information such as your practice’s name, dentists’ names, address, contact information and specific location information on your website.

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.
