How Does A Google Broad Core Update Affect Your SEO?

Will you be affected by Google’s latest broad core algorithm update? Earlier this month, the search engine announced that it was implementing another one of its algorithm updates, one that can affect all search results and topics. This is not a change in response to a specific issue, or one that is meant to correct an ongoing issue. As new links and websites continue to appear and require indexing by search engines, broad core updates help ensure that pages are being properly evaluated and ranked over time. As a result, some sites can slip in search engine results pages (SERPs), even if they have not done anything wrong. It is worth noting that in addition to evaluating a site’s content and features, Google relies on user engagement and user experience to gauge where different links should be ranked.

So how will your SEO efforts be impacted now that Google has implemented a new update? If new dental practices have opened up around you and created websites of their own, or if your website is aging to the point where it is not as user-friendly as it could be, it can be hard to maintain your visibility in relevant searches. We have experience helping dental practices generate better results through digital marketing because we focus on organic SEO efforts. In addition to making your sites more attractive, and providing valuable content for your pages, we can talk to you about efforts that go beyond website management to help you connect with more people online, and attract new patients.

More SEO Trends To Help You Promote Your Practice In 2020

The internet tends to be the first place people look when they want to find a nearby business or service, which makes it hard to overstate the importance of having a website that is easy to both find and use. When we approach SEO support for clients, we make quality site content a priority, as the information you share can help you establish your value with search engine algorithms and earn higher rankings.

Because Google and other search engines are growing more sophisticated with what they can analyze, and because they are able to provide more information to their users on their SERPs (search engine results pages), a successful SEO strategy should rely on technical support as well as content.

Are You Prepared To Enjoy Digital Marketing Success In 2020?

The start of a new year is a good time to reassess the strategies you use to reach people online, even if your current strategy has felt successful to you. Your approach to SEO can – and should – change periodically. This is partly because your practice can go through changes over time, but it is also because the world of online marketing can leave you behind if you are not paying attention. Without the right adjustments, you can struggle to reach people in 2020, and fall behind as other dental offices become more visible in important online searches. We provide dedicated SEO support to our clients, and we monitor trends in digital marketing and website design so we can discuss when it might be time to make a change. You can rely on our experience in the fields of website development and maintenance, content creation, and even in efforts like reputation management to make your online presence more appealing to people.

How Keyword Optimization Fits Into Modern Digital Marketing

As Google and other search engines have made updates to their algorithms, they have become increasingly capable of recognizing websites that try to “trick” their way into better rankings. Thanks to search engine improvements, sites that once received high spots in important search terms because of heavy keyword and link usage have lost out to pages that have more value for visitors. With that said, you should NOT assume that keywords and links have no more value in site content. The presence of both can help Google and other search engines index sites, and determine when they might be relevant in different search queries. When we discuss organic SEO support for our clients, we emphasize the value of website content that is original, relevant, accurate, and user-friendly. As part of our commitment to creating and sharing useful content, we pay attention to keyword research, and take care to use the right words and phrases to make sure you are receiving high rankings in the right searches.

Why Your Site Needs To Provide An Inclusive Web Design

With the right commitment to organic SEO, your website can hold incredible value for your dental practice. In the simplest terms, SEO improvements help you reach more people by raising your rank on Google and other search engines. A successful online marketing and SEO strategy can call for improvements to your site content, technical updates to your pages, or even the building of a brand new website. It can also be important to think about site design. If your website design is older, it can appear outdated and unappealing to people who visit. It can also be poorly suited for people who try to navigate your site while using a mobile device. These problems can hurt your SEO, and lead to negative first impressions with potential patients. With that said, there is an important additional reason to think about making an update – you may need to implement changes to make your site design more inclusive. An inclusive site design can ensure that more people who find your website can use it without difficulty. In addition to creating a better space for people with disabilities, maintaining an inclusive site design can protect you from a potential ADA lawsuit! Read More

How Online Reviews Fit Into Your Digital Marketing Plan

When someone in your area wants to find a dentist, they may start their search by checking the online reviews of practices in your area. If you want to have a real chance at attracting these potential patients, there are two issues you need to worry about:  a lack of online reviews, and negative online reviews. By providing quality service to your patients at every appointment, and building good relationships with the people who come in for care, you can feel confident that people have positive feelings about your practice. With that said, you may be less sure of how to motivate patients to share their valuable opinions online, or how to make sure people see positive feedback. As part of our overall commitment to helping our clients reach more people through online marketing, we offer assistance with reputation management. In addition to helping you make smart use of Google My Business, we can offer strategies for encouraging more reviews. These efforts, along with steps to ensure your location and contact information are accurate, can help you benefit from better local SEO, and reach the right people more easily. Read More
