An online patient attraction system is necessary for making sure that you have a successful dental practice that can continue to grow in this overcrowded market. To make sure that your website is attracting the right patients, you need to develop and maintain a strong search engine optimisation (SEO) campaign for your dental marketing.

Successful SEO means that when patients search for their dental needs, Google will list your dental practice at the top of the search results list so that the patients know that they will find answers on your website. You must be listed within the first three results to draw the attention of prospective patients and give them a positive impression.

Competitor analysis

There are many different techniques and strategies that you can employ to help you stand out from the crowd and provide an excellent user experience to showcase your dental practice to its maximum potential. You may want to carry out a competitor analysis to find out what the other dental clinics in your area offer. The more you can learn about your competitors’ marketing strategies, the better you can enhance your own website to attract more patients to you. Analysing your competition will also help you identify gaps in the market, which you can address to further attract more patients.

Publishing content with keyword research

Once you know what your competitors are offering, you can set your own USPs and create branding that stands out from the other dental clinics in your area.

It is important to be active online; this means that you need to publish new content regularly, optimise it often so that it continues to attract new patients and carry out keyword research to make sure that you keep up with current trends.

Keyword research tells you what treatments and procedures are being searched for most commonly in your area, and it also tells you which dental issues are a common topic. With this information, you can create plenty of fascinating articles or blogs, which will help attract many patients suffering from a certain common disorder and encourage them to address their dental needs with you. This research needs to be carried out regularly to, once again, make sure you are up to date with the current trends. Including keywords in your website and creating new content on a regular basis will help boost your position in the search results list.

Audit your website

You must carry out regular audits on your website whilst publishing new content because your previous content will eventually stop attracting new website traffic. Certain posts may become outdated with advances in dental technology, your competitors may offer special promotions, which you must try to match, or you may want to offer promotions of your own. You may even have changes in the members of your staff, or there may be new happenings at your dental clinic itself. Enhancing and updating the relevant content on your website can help make sure that your website is optimised and able to rank highly on Google’s search results lists.
