4 Keys to a Powerful Dental Practice Home Page


Posted on 8/18/2016 by Wendy Hensley, Marketing Manager
Anyone can put up a website these days but putting up a powerful website that's geared toward patient conversion isn't easy. It takes skill and time. In this article we've highlighted a few things to keep in mind while building your site to ensure you're maximizing your efforts.

1: Contact Information


What's the primary thing you want people to do after getting to your site? You want them to call or come into your office, right? In order for them to do that, they need your contact information and it's always in your best interest to provide that information as quickly and easily as possible. If they have to scroll to the bottom of your site to find a phone number or address, you're likely to lose them.

Website Example


We recommend placing your contact details in the top banner of your site so that it's one of the first things they see and when they're ready to call, that info isn't something they need to search for.

2: Calls-to-Action


Perhaps you want to call attention to a new service you offer such as Invisalign®, CEREC, or All-on-4®. Or, you want your site visitors to schedule an appointment online. Maybe you want them to download and complete your patient forms. A call-to-action is essentially the action you want a user to perform on that page. It's important to identify these actions and keep them above the fold. Above the fold means that the user doesn't need to scroll to see the action. They have immediate and quick access to that information when they first land on that page.

Website Example


You might have several calls-to-action on your home page and that's ok. Make sure you have a primary call-to-action identified and lead with that. Then use the remaining calls-to-actions as follow ups. Using buttons or other graphic elements to call attention to these actions is a good way to direct attention to the action.

Identifying the actions, making sure they are highly visible, and keeping them above the fold will help convert your site visitors to new patients.

3: Use Video


Studies show that having video on your site greatly impacts your overall SEO. Google loves video content and ranks sites with videos higher than those without video.

Video Example


Not only does video help get people to your site, it also keeps them there. Studies have also shown that people are engaging with video more than ever and this allows you to showcase your practice in a whole new way. Instead of flat images, you're able to actually speak to them, show your brand and personality, and digitally "click" with them as they make a decision about a dentist.

Video also helps with patient conversion. Both Google and MSN have reported that video can increase conversion by as much as 73%. Once they see you and your practice, they are much more likely to call you.

4: Have a mobile version


Website ExampleThese days it's not enough to just have a website. You have to make sure your website is mobile friendly. Mobile friendly means your site renders well on phones; the content is readable without pinching in or out and scrolling is kept to a minimum. Although some websites offer mobile templates, truly optimizing your site for mobile is a different task. On a mobile version of your site, you wouldn't want all of your content available. You need smaller content blocks, more calls-to-action with bigger buttons and easier to read formatting.

A website is a big investment for your practice and making sure you're working wisely to create a site geared toward patient conversion will help guarantee your site's success.

Along with the basics, we also offer a wide-variety of additional marketing services. Some of these services include:
• 

Credit Card Processing:

We have partnered with an online credit card processing company to help your patients pay through your website. Our partnership also helps you save money with lower rates and transaction fees.
• 

Dental Practice Photography:

As we mentioned in a previous section, custom photography can help potential patients feel connected to your practice before their first appointment. If you need an experienced photographer to update your online photos, our team is here to help!
• 

Direct Mail Campaigns:

Believe it or not, direct mail campaigns are still a powerful promotional tool, especially for people that have just moved to your area. If you want to target this demographic, we can design a custom campaign tailored to your office and brand.
• 

Email Based Newsletter for Patients:

An electronic newsletter is one of the best ways to stay in touch with your current patients. We want to avoid the old adage, “out of sight, out of mind.” Staying visible with a newsletter can lead to more scheduled appointments and better patient loyalty.
• 

Email Hosting:

We offer email hosting to ensure your business email matches your website domain. A matching domain and email address is much more professional that using Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail.
• 

Facebook Ads:

Due to Facebook’s popularity, paid ads can be a fruitful way to generate new patients leads. Facebook ads are also unique in that they allow us to target your key demographic (with laser focus) based on age, gender, geographic location, relationship status, “likes,” education, job title, and other aspects.
• 

Logo, Design, and Branding Services:

Your logo and brand may be more important than you think. Talk with our design team to learn more about your possible options, whether you need a new logo or want to update an existing one.
• 

Online Bill Pay:

Much like our credit card processing, online bill pay makes it easier for your patients to pay for their treatments, especially if they need a payment program. We use the latest software and security measures to ensure a seamless billing process.
• 

Patient Forms (Fillable PDF):

A fillable PDF makes it easier for your patient to complete their paperwork before their first visit. This reduces your set-up time, allowing you to see more patients throughout the day.
• 

Patient Forms (Secure Online):

Secure online forms cut paperwork out altogether, meaning your staff will not have to waste time transferring the data to your computer system. It is also a more environmentally-friendly option, a nice selling point for patients that want to keep it green!
