woman happy looking at website Can you still count on your website to reach people in your area and bring in more patients for your dental practice? Over time, a site that was optimized for SEO can fall in relevant search rankings, even though nothing about it has changed. That stasis can be the root of your trouble—as new features and site technology are introduced, newer pages gain advantages over yours.

What A Free Site Audit Can Do For Your SEO

SEO conceptOnce your website is made public, all you have to do is set back and let potential patients find it…right? Maintaining a digital presence is important, as people increasingly depend on the internet as their sole resource for finding dental care. The trouble is that because so many people understand this, you can count on other practices to be present online, too. That means your website may be more difficult to find simply because others have done a better job with their SEO.

SEO—search engine optimization—refers to efforts to make your webpages more valuable to Google’s search algorithm. The right kind of SEO efforts can ensure you rank highly in relevant searches, so people who are looking for what you offer are more likely to find you. Having a website matters, but you see less value from yours when you receive low rankings. MDPM Dental Marketing provides free site audits that evaluate your appeal to search engine algorithms. The feedback we provide can help you understand why your online activity is not yielding the benefits you hoped for, and it can give you a path for making improvements. Assistance with organic and technical SEO are important, but they are just a few forms of support we provide our clients. We also provide new website builds and designs, social media support, and guidance in beneficial matters like PPC advertising and digital reputation management. Read More

Understanding Organic And Paid SEO

SEO conceptYou can provide important information about your practice on your website. Details about your staff, your services, and the ways in which you can be reached can be easy to discover as visitors browse your different site pages. While you can easily share your website information with patients at your practice, you also want people who have never met you to locate you online—to ensure that people can do so, you need to think about your SEO efforts.

SEO stands for search engine optimization, which refers to efforts that make your site links more appealing to Google and other search engines. A number of factors affect just how likely you are to appear in relevant searches. The content on your pages, the quality of your site, visitor experiences, and even technical details can shift your space on search engine results pages (SERPs). MDPM Dental Marketing provides important support in the form of organic SEO, which refers to efforts that help you maintain a site that has more appeal to the Google algorithm. This differs from what is known as paid SEO, also known as pay-per-click (PPC) marketing. Sites can pay to have their links appear in the ads section of relevant search results in order to gain visibility. Organic efforts can offer lasting value and do not depend on recurring payments, but you can benefit from the addition of PPC marketing to reach more people. We can help you understand the advantages to each, and we can work with you to create an overall marketing strategy that truly benefits your practice! Read More

With the right approach to search engine optimization (SEO), website management, and digital marketing, you can make your services easier for people in your area to find. However, when you are not keeping up with online marketing trends and best practices, you can effectively shrink from view while competing offices become more prominently placed in search engine results pages (SERPs).

The Limitations Of An Outdated Website

Your ability to reach people in your area and bring them to your dental practice for care can depend on how you present yourself online. The importance of digital marketing in a wide array of fields is difficult to overstate. Breaking through and reaching high ranks in relevant Google searches will depend on your SEO efforts, but you may be limited in what you can do by an outdated webpage.

SEO refers to search engine optimization. Better SEO means your website does more to effectively communicate with Google and other search platforms, which can ultimately make you appear higher in the right searches. Both content and technical features contribute to it, but what you can do may be hurt by a lack of the right features. Your pages may not be fully responsive, which means they are less readable on phones and tablets. You can also miss out because you lack the ability to add metainformation that makes your links easier to read and rank. With the support of MDPM Dental Marketing, you can move on to a new site or make updates to your current one. Our services also include dedicated support after your site has been improved to connect with more people and make your outreach online more impactful. Read More

Boosting Your Reputation With Online Marketing

Someone who has never set foot in your practice can make assumptions about it, and about the kind of experience you provide patients, after going online. This can work to your advantage if you have the right information available. The right website, online reviews, and other forms of digital information can help you build a solid reputation with people in your area who have yet to visit you. As a result, you can grow your office and fill your schedule!

Working with MDPM Dental Marketing ensures you have comprehensive support for online activities. Building and maintaining a website is certainly important, but it is just part of what you can do to effectively make yourself more visible and attract more patients to your office. One way we help is by offering reputation management support. This takes different forms, as it can range from making sure your information is in the right places to coordinating your social media efforts to reflect you and your approach to dental care. It also means support with online reviews, including coaching and support on responding to less favorable feedback. Read More
