That’s a main concern and a very good question. The short is answer is, “Yes”.
Now, here is why promoting your dental practice online is actually a smart idea.
One of the main concerns any medical professional has is generating revenue through services and the competition is fierce. Did you know now more people in the United States look up information online instead of cracking open the Yellow Pages for their city? You want to make sure that when people look for a dental professional, they find you.
It’s a good idea to have a website that tells about your services, show photos so people can understand what you do and how well you do it. “Before” and “After” photos of your patient success stories will go a long way to giving who is on the fence about using your services the confidence to become a patient.
Having a Facebook page isn’t a bad idea at all. Many dental practices have a company page. Make it clear that you don’t do diagnosis nor schedule appointments online or via Facebook (People will indeed ask ) but do post news about your practice. New employees, new services, new locations or anything you want to share with the public will show a personal side that will also give people confidence to be your patients.
Getting listed at a service like FindaDentist is also a fantastic idea. Often when people want to find a dental professional, they will turn to a service like ours where there is a virtual repository of dentists of every specialty in their area. You can get a free listing or choose a detailed premium listing.
