Here’s why your dental practice should consider joining TikTok:
Reach a Huge, Engaged Audience: TikTok boasts a massive user base, particularly with younger demographics like Gen Z. This is a great way to build relationships with potential patients who could be loyal to your practice for years to come.
Informative Content in a Fun Format: People on TikTok are looking for short, engaging videos. You can create educational content about oral health, debunk common myths, or showcase new procedures – all in a way that’s fun and informative.
TikTok SEO: While not exactly traditional SEO, TikTok has its own search algorithm. Optimizing your videos with relevant hashtags, captions with keywords, and trending topics can help your content appear on the “For You” page and in search results within TikTok itself, leading to more views and engagement on the platform.
Google Search Results: Interestingly, some TikTok videos have started appearing in Google search results. This means if you optimize your video content for relevant search terms, there’s a chance it could show up when people search on Google, generating traffic from both sources.
Brand Awareness and Website Traffic: Even if your videos aren’t directly ranking high in Google searches, a strong TikTok presence can boost brand awareness. People who discover you on TikTok may then search for your practice website directly or find you through other channels, ultimately driving traffic to your site.
Build Trust and Show Your Human Side: TikTok is a great platform to show the personalities behind your practice. You can feature your hygienists and dentists in lighthearted skits or informative videos. This human connection can build trust and make patients feel more comfortable choosing your practice.
It’s Not Saturated Yet: While TikTok is hugely popular, it’s not overrun by dentists yet. This means you have a chance to stand out and establish your practice as a leader in the dental social media space.
Overall, TikTok offers a unique opportunity to reach new patients, educate the public about oral health, and build trust with your community.
