Having a successful online presence is much more than having an attractive website. In order to remain competitive, your dental website needs to be easily  found online by people searching for the services like yours.

 

This article lays out the basics steps to having a successful internet presence.

 

Step one: decide your objectives

Firstly decide your online marketing objectives e.g.

● Increase the status and reputation of your dental business.

● Get more customers.

● Reduce reception and administration staff workload.

Then decide what do you want people to do once they have found you online e.g.

● Make a booking.

● Fill in an enquiry form.

● Subscribe to your newsletter.

● “Like you” on social media.

 

Step two: indentify and use your business’s keywords

More and more consumers are finding businesses online through search engines like Google by using keywords. Your next step is to identify the keywords relevant to your business that consumers will use to find you online.

 

Once identified, incorporate your keywords into your website. This increases your chances of being found by people searching with those keywords, and drives more and better quality traffic to your dental website.

 

Step three: create blog & other content

Having a blog and creating great content is the best way to create traffic to your website. Your blog should be a section of your business website (not on a separate site). Search engines reward higher rankings to websites that consistently add fresh content, this then translates into new visitors and leads for your business. Creating blog content that other websites want to link to is another great way to increase your SEO ranking.

 

 

 

 

Step four: take part in social media

Social media allows your customers and potential customers to communicate directly with your business and encourages interesting content to spread quickly. Share your blog content in social media and attract more links to your website.

 

Focus on the major players: Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.Step five: build an email list

Collect people’s information and build your contact database with a newsletter subscription facility on your website.

 

People will typically not contact you the first time they visit your website. It is therefore critical to have a way to collect their details. You can then nurture these leads with email marketing.

 

Step six: constantly monitor & refine your strategies

Track your results, understand what these mean and make necessary changes.
