Social Media Builds Awareness, Not SEO

If your business relies on a website (and let’s face it, who’s doesn’t in 2018?), then you’ve got to be tuned into search engine optimization. You need the infrastructure of your website to stay in tip-top shape so that search engines like Google show your business to those who are looking for it. A useful, easy-on-the-eyes website is part of your overall web presence, and so are social media channels. Free platforms like Facebook and Instagram contribute to your branding and presence, but not your SEO rankings. Does that make them less valuable or important? No. Here’s why: Read More

Trouble On Social Media Can Hurt Your Business

When your pages are used effectively, your social media presence can help you grow your practice, share important information, and help patients feel connected to you and your staff. While you can benefit from your social media activity, your practice can also be hurt when controversial posts are made on your page, or by employees. When controversy leads to negative reviews on your page, and your overall score is lowered, potential patients can worry because all they see is a lowered rating. Talking with your employees about smart behavior online, and being prepared for social media issues that might hurt your customer ratings, can help you protect your practice. Read More

Make Effective Use Of Your Social Media Presence

Your online presence is more than just your website, though your website is definitely important. By creating and maintaining an effective social media presence, you can create a link with your patients that allows you to provide them with updates and information in spaces where they are regularly engaged. These accounts let you share new information, or let people know about a change in your office hours, but they also give you a chance to create a sense of connection. By sharing behind-the-scenes activity, and introducing people to your staff, you can establish a more personal relationship with your existing patients, and look more attractive to people in your area looking for a dental practice.

While a social media influencer may wish to amass a large following, your social brand might focus on targeting a smaller collection of the right people. If you manage your social media channels well, you can build a consumer community that wants you to sell to them! Read More
