We know all there is to know about online marketing of dental surgeries and can provide services ranging from making over your surgery website and writing blog pieces, to even helping with the writing of scripts for vlog videos.

But before you employ us, you will probably have some queries about dental SEO and its importance in the development of your surgery. In this article, we aim to answer common questions that we have been asked by previous clients.

Why does my surgery need SEO?

Your surgery needs dental SEO because online, your website is your calling card and the only way you will get it noticed by people who may become your patients is by investing in SEO or search engine optimisation. By not investing in this area of marketing, you are losing patients to your nearest competition, which will hurt your surgery’s expansion.

What does it involve?

SEO involves a range of tips and techniques that our team at Dental Focus can offer to make your website more visible to Google bots. Typically, SEO provided by our team will involve the creation and maintaining of a blog, making over your website so it follows a logical order and ensuring that there is only unique content on your web page. Your dental team also need to have their own targeted pages on the site, so potential site visitors can get to know a bit more about you all.

Are the plans you offer targeted?

Every dental surgery has different requirements and niches, so the plans that we offer relating to SEO are targeted to what your team requires. This could be anything based from targeting a specific area of the dental market to simply increasing patient numbers. So, whatever your area of growth is relating to SEO and your dental surgery, please call us for a breakdown of the best plan for you.

How long before we see results?

This will depend on where you are located. If your surgery is somewhere in Central London, it may take up to 6 months for the SEO process that we offer to work. If you have a more remote surgery, then you may see results from our plan in as little as a month.

Is it a long-term process?

Yes, it is. SEO is an ongoing process with different requirements based on the Google algorithm and what the bots search for. But as before, we can target your plan to your requirements and the length of time that you feel you need it for.
