SEO management
Search engine optimisation increases the visibility of a website in search engine results, thus making it a core feature of your dental marketing plan. SEO techniques include optimising content, link building, and keyword research, among others, and are used to generate organic search results that are more relevant to users. If your page is not attracting as many new patients as you would like, it may be time to look at your SEO!
Content creation
Content creation for dental websites involves creating content that is both educational and engaging for people searching for information related to dental health and treatments. This could include blog posts on topics related to dental hygiene and care, in-depth guides on common procedures, patient testimonials, and answers to frequently asked questions. This content should be optimised with keywords and phrases to help potential patients find the information they need online and encourage more traffic to the website. Our team at Dental Focus can offer trained SEO writers to oversee this area to help reach more potential patients.
Social media marketing
Social media is an increasingly important marketing tool for dental practices. It is a powerful way to attract new customers, build relationships with existing patients, and strengthen your dental brand. It allows you to connect with potential customers and showcase your team’s value and expertise. You can share useful information through blog articles, videos, and infographics to demonstrate your knowledge and skills.
Social media is a great way to let your existing customers know you appreciate them and build relationships with them.
