No ad budget? No problem. Here are 5 things any dental practice can do today ā for free ā that will start bringing in more patients online. š
1ļøā£ Claim and fully complete your Google Business Profile If every field isn't filled out, Google doesn't trust you enough to rank you. Categories, services, hours, description ā everything.
2ļøā£ Upload 15ā20 real photos of your clinic Real photos of your team, operatories, reception, and before/afters build instant trust. Stock photos hurt your ranking. Real photos help it.
3ļøā£ Respond to EVERY Google review ā including the negative ones Google rewards engagement. A professional response to a bad review converts better than a dozen five-star reviews left unanswered.
4ļøā£ Make sure your Name, Address, and Phone number are identical everywhere online Your website. Yelp. Healthgrades. Facebook. One inconsistency confuses Google and tanks your local ranking.
5ļøā£ Add individual pages on your website for each service you offer One page for "teeth whitening." One for "dental implants." One for "emergency dentist." Google ranks pages ā not entire websites.
These 5 things alone can move your practice up significantly in local search results.
