Get Your Dental Practice on Yelp Immediately

Sticking with social media, this blog pays special attention to a site underutilized by many dental practices: Yelp.

Generally pigeonholed as a site to review restaurants and bars, Yelp is actually for all local businesses. On average, annual revenue increases $8,000 for companies that have claimed their Yelp profile.

Considering that it costs no money, there is nothing but incredible upside to having a claimed Yelp profile.

‍Top Takeaway: Only 53% of dental offices are on Yelp, despite the fact that it's free.

But there's so much more to increasing production, like sending proper follow-ups or ensuring patients know how to get the most out of their insurance. Don't get complacent if your appointment confirmations are solid; there are plenty of other areas to maximize!‍

Top Takeaway: Increased production extends well beyond appointment confirmation.

New Dental Patients Are No Silver Bullet

We love bringing in new patients. They're the lifeblood of any healthy practice.

However, don't have tunnel vision when it comes to patient acquisition. Educating and engaging with existing patients can be a cheaper and more effective way to grow your practice.

Proper programming can entertain, inform and ease anxiety. Waiting room televisions can serve as much more than a distraction.

‍Top Takeaway: Waiting room programming can improve patient satisfaction and provide and increase case acceptance.
