Social media is no longer a fad or trend that’s going to go away anytime soon. As a business, you need media engagement to remain relevant and potentially attractive to new patients. At MDPM Consulting, we strive to make this easier with our free social media kit. The kit provides customizable content you can share on your social networking accounts. There are a number of reasons why your practice needs social media engagement.
How Does Your Front Office Team Answer The Phone?
Have you ever asked yourself this question? As a dentist, you have a front office team to answer calls, speak with patients, and schedule appointments. Outside of your website, they are a potential client’s first encounter with your practice. With that in mind, how would you grade their performance? A solid front office team is an essential component to your success. You may even consider a secret shopper scenario to find out how you might improve patient experience at your office.

3 Local SEO Moves You Can Make This Week
The quick fix isn’t always the most effective route, but when it comes to local SEO, it’s all about knowing which actions to take to benefit your potential patient. If you’re a local business, local SEO is important to your online marketing strategy. Whether you focus on organic, paid, or content marketing, your website and online presence needs to be optimized locally. Your potential patients are within a certain proximity to your brick and mortar business. Ignoring local SEO is like running a practice without a postal address. Your patients will rarely be able to find you, and you probably won’t get any mail. Your business address is just as important online as it is offline. Read More

What Are Business Citations For Local SEO?
A citation is a reference to your business online. What does this mean? Your name, address, and phone number (NAP) is your citation. Search engines use your NAP to determine the authority of your business online. These citations, however, do not need to be linked to your website to count. They just need to be accurate and consistent wherever they are listed. Not interesting enough to care? What if you lost nearly 75 percent of your potential customers because your business citation listings online were inaccurate, incorrect, or non-existent? A mere 20 percent of those customers raise your profits by quite a bit. Consider your online citation accuracy, and how you can update it. Read More
Who Owns My Google+ Page?
Recently, we encountered an unusual issue. We took on a new client who was transferring from another company.

They claimed they had the right to do this, as the Google+ page was their “intellectual property.” Is this true? No. That’s why we’re posting this blog today, to let you now that nothing could be further from the truth. So… who owns your Google+ page?
