Should Dentists Blog?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

blog-pyramidThere has been a big question about whether Twitter and Facebook benefit a dentist’s marketing efforts. While the effects of social networking are yet to be accurately measured, we can say with certainty that blogging (done right) helps search engine optimization – for a dentist or any other business. If you aren’t blogging, you should be.

At TNT Dental, clients have two options for blogging…

1) We can set up your blog and train you how to use it.
2) We can set up your blog and create optimized blogs with our GhostPosts service. (more…)

With TNT Custom Websites, Dentists Become Heavyweight Marketing Champs

Monday, November 30th, 2009

bouldenThe ADA says that about half of US dentists have lost revenue and patients throughout the year. Less revenue means less advertising, but less advertising means fewer patients, and fewer patients means less revenue. It’s a vicious cycle. What if you could take your little website and turn it into a marketing machine that packs a knockout punch? With a little help from your friends at TNT Dental, you can!

Let’s look at this website as an example. Atlanta Dental Spa knows how to work the online marketing machine. You’ve got Facebook and Twitter accounts on the top right corner of the banner. Move down a bit, and you have an eye-catching Flash presentation that showcases the doctor’s awards and services. From there, we move left to right on the main portion of the webpage to see a small sampling of the before-and-after gallery, a CNN video of the doctor, and then we have an email response form on the right. Got a question? You don’t even have to move down the homepage to contact the dentist directly.

What’s the big deal with these features, you ask? Here’s the rundown: (more…)

Making the Most of Your Dental Website

Monday, November 9th, 2009

shutterstock_38281132You’ve probably heard that linking is good for SEO rankings. Truth is, incoming links are good if they’re relevant. Incoming links from great, relevant sites can be awesome. Outgoing links don’t help you much, and they really only benefit your users from a functionality standpoint. You may have also heard about Google Maps. It is important to claim your Google Maps listing if you’ve not already done so. Here are 5 TRUE TIPS for marketing your dental website and improving your SEO strategy:

1. Establish good incoming links.

A little legwork may be required. Sending emails requesting to swap links with folks you don’t know probably won’t help much. Instead, focus on those you do know. Your colleagues in other cities (non-competitive), specialists and labs with whom you work, and dental organizations are good sources for link swapping. Simply contact the webmaster (or your personal contact), and request a link swap. They’ll post your site’s link on their sites, and you’ll do the same for them. Be sure to follow up! After you post their links on your site, see if they’ve reciprocated as promised. (more…)

Dental Websites for More than Marketing

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Your website is an important part of an effective marketing strategy, but it can also become an extension of your dental practice. A solid website can improve efficiency in your front office and provide communication, resources, and quick reference information about your office for patients. When designing or updating your website, the TNT experts may recommend:

arm-extensionIn the front office, your team members invest time answering telephone calls and responding to common questions that your website can answer…

  • Where is your office located?
  • Do you see emergencies?
  • Do you take my insurance?
  • How can I apply for CareCredit?

The time saved by your front office team can be used wisely elsewhere, like in focusing on your patients who are in the office to create that personalized, unforgettable experience.

In the back office, your team can refer patients to your website for information on cosmetic dentistry, what to expect in certain procedures, what type of sedation dentistry you offer. Also, post offer printable .pdf forms of your postoperative or post-procedural dental instructions for patients to easily access from home. (more…)

Dental Websites: Development & Production

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Website Production
• How long does it take to get a TNT Dental website live?

  • If everything flows smoothly, with no hiccups, TNT can create a custom dental website from the ground up in less than 8 weeks. Factors that stall production include: lag time in email responses; not having all materials (forms, bios, logo, etc.); not having domain name secured and accessible; lack of response from client.

• What do I have to do?

  • TNT makes it easy for you. The biggest responsibility you have is in the very beginning. To create a custom dental website that truly reflects your practice and provides interactive tools for marketing and patient registration, you’ll need to do three things… 1) Complete a 30-minute interview call with the writer. The interview questions are available for review. 2) Complete a 30-minute interview call with the designer. Chose 5 websites that you admire before the interview. 3) Provide all “assets” in a timely manner (forms, pictures, bios, logo, etc.).

• Will I be able to make changes after the site is live?

  • Yes. TNT offers full-service support and hosting. Simply call, email, or message your support representative through your TNT Dashboard. Your support request will be promptly processed.
