If you want to build a very successful dental practice, you need to start acting like a successful practice, before you become one. You need to start doing all of the little things at a much higher level of quality than other dentists are doing before you see the results.

A transition statement is a very simple, but very powerful tool for engaging with patients. Make sure your staff know how to use it, and make sure they use it on every call, because it’s going to make a huge difference in the quality of conversations they are having with patients, and ultimately in the amount of appointments you book.

This is custom heading element Your dental patients don’t really care about all of the fancy equipment in your practice.

In this video we’re going to talk about what you need to consider when selecting a name or a website URL for your dental practice. Should you just use your name as the dentist? Is it better to name your practice after the street you are on? If you’re in Minnesota for example, should you register “dentistinminnesota.com”? What will get you the best result?

If you want to turn more website visitors into patients, focus on talking less about yourself and your practice and more on just being helpful to people who are looking for specific dental procedures. Do an excellent job of answering their questions without any sales pitch.

Link building is arguably the single most important thing you can do to increase your rankings on Google. It is the biggest factor that Google looks at in order to determine whether to show your practice to potential patients or show one of your competitors instead. It’s a difficult part of the SEO process and funny enough it’s something many SEO companies don’t really know how to do very well.

If you want to rank better on Google, it has a lot less to do with little tricks and technical hacks than it has to do with just creating good, useful content that helps your potential patients understand how different dental services work and how they can help them.

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. While a new website, some SEO, or Google AdWords can help more people find the practice, often the reason a practice isn’t seeing more patients is a myriad of small operational issues in the practice day-to-day.

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.

Running a dental practice is a heck of a lot harder than running most other businesses. So how does one throw marketing into the mix without worrying that this is just going to become another project that no one really has the time to take care of?

In this latest interview, we talk to Dr. Carlo Biasucci about how he grew his $2.5 million dollar practice in Northern Ontario to $7 million dollars of production in only 3 years. It all started with an unfortunate scuba diving accident that almost cost him his life and left him unable to practice dentistry for many months.

If you’re investing money into marketing your practice, I’m pretty sure your goal isn’t just to build a pretty website or to get a bunch of “website clicks” or a bunch of “Facebook likes”. I’m pretty certain your goal is to drive more new patients.

We track how many real patients you’re booking each month and where they came from. We don’t care about website clicks or Facebook Likes or other vanity metrics.

A higher number of backlinks tells Google that your dental practice is more popular than the competition. The more backlinks your website has the more Google trusts it and the more authority it has.

When it comes to marketing your dental practice, you have many options to pick from. You can send out flyers, post on social media, perform search engine optimization, or run Google AdWords.

Patients aren’t dentists. They don’t have the clinical skills to evaluate dental work by simply looking at before & after photos. People often make decisions based on emotion, especially when it comes to dentistry.

You may be familiar by now that when people search for “dentist in my area” your site could show up at the top of the results – bringing you a lot more visitors, and more patients.

When it comes to marketing your dental practice, the sheer number of marketing at your disposal can seem overwhelming. The temptation to simply pick a few at random and see what works is understandable, but is it really the best investment for your dental 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.
