How is your practice looking online?

Is your poor online reputation or lack of online reviews costing you patients—and credibility?  Did you know that 88% of consumers use online reviews to influence which businesses they choose to support? As a dental practitioner, you need strong, consistent online reviews if you want to build a trustworthy practice. Patients are searching online for the highest rated practices more than ever before, and if you don’t make the list, you’re missing out on a loyal, growing patient base.

The 5-Star Starter Kit can help you build your online reputation on the most popular review sites, including Google, Yelp, Yahoo and a site of your choice. You’ll also get tools to effectively request online reviews from your patients on a regular basis.

Your online reputation starts in the office.

It can be a challenge to ask patients to recommend you. With the help of Professional Signage and Review Request Cards in the 5-Star Starter Kit, you can easily and consistently welcome patients’ feedback. According to a recent Dental Town podcast, “Smart Strategies for Getting New Clients,” you should also be paying pay attention to the positive feedback you receive from patients and request that they put their praise online. Handing out review request cards to happy patients at the end of each appointment makes it convenient for them to write reviews on your preferred review sites. Plus, the email banner ads you get help direct patients to review sites with every email campaign you send.

BONUS TIP: When it comes to the quality of care you provide, a picture’s worth a thousand words. Ask patients for written permission to share pictures of their smile transformations on your website and social media. In addition to glowing online reviews, compelling images of the work you do bolsters your reputation. See Agave Dental’s Smile Gallery for inspiration.
