Why Do Dental Websites Need A Responsive, Mobile-First Design?

How often do you actually use your desktop or laptop to search for a business or service online? Most people use their smartphones, even when looking for dental care! In fact, mobile internet usage beat desktop usage in 2016 and even by 2012, smartphone sales exceeded desktop purchases. Way back in 2010, Google’s CEO urged designers to focus on mobile-first designs. We say all of this to remind dentists that having a site that looks good and is easy to navigate on a smartphone or tablet is crucial for staying competitive, attracting new patients, and enjoying improved SEO. With that in mind, let’s learn a little more about responsive, mobile-friendly design, and you should consider this when redesigning your website or formulating your online marketing strategy!

Are You Reaching Enough People With Your Website?

When you set up a website for your dental practice, you can set up a digital platform that helps you extend your reach in important ways. The right online marketing strategy can help you reach more people, but it can also help you make sure that you reach the right people, and turn site visits into new patients. If you want to see the most value from your site, your approach to SEO is certainly important. By building up a digital marketing plan that focuses on organic SEO, we can help you consistently connect with more people. Because we take special care to focus on your local search efforts, and building a site that has beneficial technical information, we can also help you make sure that the people you reach could potentially schedule appointments. A targeted approach is important – after all, having more visitors may be reassuring, but what you really want from your website is the ability to attract more patients! Read More

Building The Right Website For Your Dental Practice

Online marketing has become increasingly crucial for businesses of all sizes, in all fields. For your dental practice, the right website can give you the ability to make yourself known to people in your area searching for oral health care. It also gives you a way to “introduce” yourself to people who have been referred to you by another doctor. Going without a digital platform today makes effectively invisible to many people, and limits your ability to interact with your current patients. In our work with dental offices throughout the country, we create custom websites that boast impressive technical features, as well as SEO-friendly content that makes practices easier to find on Google and other search engines. We can work with you through every step of the site creation process, and provide a website that lets your practice make the best first impression. We also provide ongoing support to boost the visibility of your links, and to help you take advantage of online reviews and social media marketing. Read More

When Is It Time To Replace Your Website?

Thanks to your website, many people will form a first impression of you, and your practice, before they ever set foot inside your dental office. After all, when an individual has a question about their oral health, or when they want to find a dental office near them, they almost certainly turn to the internet for help. Is your site making a first impression you would be proud of, or does it suffer by comparison to websites that competing practices host? For the sake of your online marketing success, you need to pay attention to the life cycle of your site. After three years, your digital presence can appear outdated, it can lack important SEO features, and it may run poorly compared to newer sites. We regularly help our clients, like Dr. Gregory Wright, when they need a new website. We are also ready to help new clients who want to replace their previous page, create a site for a new practice, or establish a microsite to help them focus on a particular area of dental care!

Putting The Wrong Images On Your Site Can Have Consequences

So you have a visitor to one of your webpages…what happens next? Capturing someone’s attention is important, but there is no guarantee that this person will set up an appointment with your practice just because they found your website. While you should be concerned about the quality of the content you share, you also need to think about how it is presented. Images break up text, and ensure readers are less likely to lose interest. With that said, finding the right pictures can be more difficult than it seems. If your photos are acquired inappropriately, you can be liable for copyright violations that can become costly! 

We provide properly sourced images for your posts, so you do not have to worry about this issue. We also take care to provide digital content that is SEO-friendly and engaging, so your posts are more likely to motivate someone to schedule an appointment with you! Read More

We Provide Responsive Sites For Our Clients: Here’s Why

As smartphones continue to improve, people can find that they use them more frequently, and for many different tasks. Because of this, you should expect people in your area to look for a nearby dentist, or look into a recent dental problem, by searching for information on their phone or tablet. Google certainly expects people to use their phones and tablets in these (and many other) situations – they are transitioning to mobile-first indexing. This means that a site is evaluated based on the way it functions on mobile devices. We provide our clients with responsive sites, which means their pages will automatically adjust to fit a mobile device’s smaller screen, while retaining all the same information. This can ensure that your site is easy to navigate on mobile platforms, and it can ensure your SEO is not hurt by the move to mobile-first indexing! Read More

Client Feature Friday

Each Friday, we feature a client who recently launched a new aspect of his or her web presence. Why? So that we can congratulate our valued clients on taking their websites to the next level and to show how we work with our clients to design and execute online marketing plans to fit their unique needs and reach their target audiences.

But, when is the right time to launch a website for your practice? For Tomball, Texas, dentist Dr. Ginger McElravy, the answer was in April of this year — 4 months before her practice, Spring Pearl Dental, opened its doors in early August.
