Search Engine Optimization For Dentist Offices

Do dentists need SEO?

Yes.

Think of SEO as a long-term strategy to attract new patients. Whereas pay-per click advertising will help you show up to customers immediately, SEO will ensure that you continue showing up for a long time — without paying Google, Facebook, and others to do so.

So what is SEO? Put simply, it’s the practice of optimizing the text and structure of your website to make it more likely that you’ll appear on a search engine results page (also known as a SERP). For example, here’s what appears when you Google “best dentists near me” in Stamford, CT:

If your website isn’t appearing on the top,
IT DOESN’T MATTER
if you’re the best dentist in the world,
because you’re not attracting patients.

An SEO strategy suited to your dental practice

Not every dental office is the same. Some need more SEO than others; some need to focus on different keywords. If most of your income comes from cosmetic dentistry, it’s a good idea to focus your efforts there. If you specialize in family dentistry, your approach may be different. Likewise, approaches should vary based on geographic area.
