Dental Practice Marketing

The medical field is competitive, no matter where your business is located are or what services you provide. Even in the smallest of towns, you’re tasked with making sure that the locals trust you over any other dentists in your nearby area. Word of mouth is one of the best ways for dentists to find new patients, but word of mouth alone is rarely enough.

If you want to make sure you reach the widest potential number of new patients possible, stand out easily with quality content marketing. Many dental practices recognize the importance of reaching out to patients, but waste their money on expensive television, magazine, or billboard ads. These reach a limited audience and are only displayed for a limited amount of time at a very high cost.

An ad in a local magazine, for example, can cost upwards of $2,000, and while it may reach the local market, the number of people reading the magazine that are also looking for a dentist AND notice your ad is often in the single digits, if not fewer. But for the same investment into online content marketing, you can:

  • Reach Far More People
  • Target Outreach to Those Already Searching for Dental Care
  • Generate Leads Indefinitely – Your Content is Permanent and Always Online

These are just a few advantages online marketing has over more traditional forms of advertisement. When you start marketing your dental practice online, youโ€™ll find that more patients will be able to find you and seek you out for dental information and treatment.

What Is Online Content Marketing for Dental Practices?

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is key to marketing your dental practice online. Content in a variety of forms is the best way to optimize for search anda make sure that people seeking dental care can find you, whether theyโ€™re searching โ€œdentist in [your location],โ€ or a specific service, like โ€œbraces,โ€ or โ€œcavity filling.โ€

Search engines present websites with relevant and fresh content to potential patients first, before websites that havenโ€™t been updated more recently or that donโ€™t have as much information on them. Content marketing is one tool, along with social media, Adwords, and more, that helps make sure they find you first.
