The Pros VS Cons Of Owning Your Dental Practice Website

Posted on March 14, 2023 by DocSites

Does it make sense to own your dental or medical practice website?

 

PROS of Owning Your Practice Website:

  • Save a little money on your monthly hosting fees – typically $30-60/mo
  • You can make updates yourself without waiting for a company to do it for you
  • If you part ways with your marketing company you can “take your website” with you

CONS of Owning Your Practice Website:

  • You’re at a disadvantage with marketing your practice. Since most marketing companies prefer to work on websites they’ve built they won’t touch your website. It’s like if you want Tesla service you can’t take your Toyota you have to have a Tesla.
  • You’ve essentially bought yourself another job. Not only are you responsible for web updates but you have to ensure you’re up to date on latest things like ADA compliance and privacy policies are up-to-date. Good luck on that!
  • Your website and online presence will become stagnant faster than usual because you don’t have a dependable person or company updating it regularly.

Fee For Service Dental Marketing – How To Attract Quality Dental Patients From The Internet

Posted on March 8, 2023 by DocSites

 

Dental insurance sucks! How can you attract more quality, fee-for-service patience to your practice?

Do these four things:

  • 1 – Double your 5-star reviews on Google as fast as possible…10-20…20-40. And keep doing it. The Key here is to ask!

 

  • 2 – Make it easy to book appointments. Where most practices fall short is on the phone, so either train and keep training your front desk to improve or hire a professional company in the US that knows the dental industry to take all of your calls and fill up your chairs.

 

  • 3 – Create an SEO optimized website to increase your visibility on Google and be sure your site personalized with photos and videos. Patients want to see who you are and what they can expect.

 

  • 4 – Put marketing dollars into SEO & Google Ads – where is the first place people go searching for a dentist? And second? These tend to work better than ads on say Facebook or Instagram….

Must Haves For A Successful Practice Website

You can’t have a successful practice website without having these two things on your homepage.

1 A professional photo of yourself – this is your patients first impression of you so make it count!

2  Showcasing your 5-star reviews! You’ve already done the hard part of earning all those reviews on Google, now make sure your website shows them; it will build instant credibility.

No matter what type of marketing you do – postcards, Google ads, carrier pigeons – they all lead patients to one place, your website! By showcasing these two things on your homepage you’ll increase your credibility and trust leading to more booked appointments.

Want to learn how to improve your personal brand as a doctor without dancing on TikTok? Watch this.

Typically most doctors are great clinicians but they don’t understand how to their website and Google to get themselves known.

 

1️⃣ Hire a videographer to create a personalized video of your practice and place it prominently on the homepage of your website.

2️⃣ Take photos with your patients in front of a wall showing your logo and brand colors and post that on social media. Better yet – assign a team member to be responsible for that!

3️⃣ Post simple videos of yourself on Instagram talking about your treatments and procedures.

“Should I Build My Own Practice Website?” The Dangers of DIY Dental Websites

Posted on February 16, 2023 by DocSites

Are you spending too much time trying to figure out how to build your own website?

Has your wife, husband or family member promised they would update your practice website and it still remains old and stagnant?

Although your family loves you and cares for you – that doesn’t qualify them to market your practice.

Hire a reliable and responsive professional to take care of it for you so you can spend your time where it will have the most impact on your practice.

5 Types of Marketing Every Dentist Should Know

Posted on February 9, 2023 by DocSites

 

As a dentist, it’s important for you to know these different types of marketing. You don’t necessarily have to do all of them in order to be successful but at least knowing the distinctions between them will allow you to make smarter use of your marketing dollars.

1️⃣ Marketing on Google – This includes being found for “dentist near me”,  SEO and Google Ads

2️⃣ Social media marketing – Personalization is the name of the game!

3️⃣ Internal Marketing – Build a relationship with your patient starting with a pleasant phone experience and first appointment

4️⃣ Community Building – Pick a community (ie. Your kids school, running club, etc), show up consistently and be known in that community

5️⃣ Mailers / Postcards – In some areas this can actually still work, especially if you’re a new dental startup!

Avoid This Dental Marketing Scam! 30 New Patients Guaranteed!

Posted on February 2, 2023 by DocSites

Kayvan Mott, Co-Founder – The DocSites

I was just talking to a practice owner, who got burned by one of these companies, who had promised him 30 new patient a month. What he learned from his mistake, and what you should avoid is to not fall for these false promises.

Remember that acquiring new patients is a two fold process and they work together:

1. External Marketing – Things like Google ads, search engine optimization, going out there in the community making sure you’re known in that community by people, volunteering, getting your name out there with postcards.

2. Internal Marketing – This includes your communication and phone skills. How effective are you in making the patient feel comfortable to book an appointment and then get them to show up? Do you follow up and procedures and phone calls and systems and ensuring they have a good experience in your practice and treatment plans and things like that?

New patients – not just leads – but actually patients in the chair that contribute to your production – only come about from the combination of External AND Internal marketing working together.

Make sure you’re working with a dependable, reliable company like The DocSites and that you have the right systems in place to ensure a great patient experience.
