These are the 5 best, and FREE, ways to drive more patients to your practice.

In order to drive more patients, dentists often seek external improvements to what are very often internal issues.

One of the most challenging things that I have to explain to dentists is that you can’t just throw a bunch of money at marketing and expect results.  There is a lot of ground work that needs to be done by both the doctor and the team first before we can really start driving patients to your practice.

Are the before and after photos on your dental website actually attracting more patients? Is this really what patients look for when deciding on a dentist? Well we’ve run some A/B testing experiments and determined that these photos may be doing more to scare away your potential patients rather than attracting them.

One of the biggest challenges we see at RevUp Dental is that there are a lot of really great dental practices out there with great dentists, with amazing staff, and they deliver amazing dental care, but because their marketing isn’t up to par, they remain kind of like a “best kept secret” in their area.
