The Benefits of using Social Media for your Dental Practice

Be a Social Media Nut!!

The days of trying to impress someone by saying “I don’t have a Facebook page” or “I don’t need a website” have quickly become as archaic as plaster impressions.

Today more than 85% of the dental practices have a website and just as many are getting involved in some type of social media. It is important not only in new patients finding you, but in keeping your current patients up with what you are doing. It is a free resource you can use.

The main goal should be to be the number one name that pops up when someone “Googles” for a dentist in your area.

Here is a list of what your practice should have:

1. Search Engine Optimized Website and it should be “Mobile device friendly”
2. Facebook Page
3. Google+ Page
4. A Blog
5. YouTube
6. Twitter

Don’t worry there are people who can do all this for you. Please contact me for some references.
