Why Do Dentists Need a Website Nowadays?

| Dental Website Benefits |
With the increasing usage of internet people search online almost for anything before they try it out therefore dentists are no exception. If a dentist does not have a website in place chances are that people wont be able to find them easily. Believe or not people expect businesses to have an online presence since they want to learn more about your services from the comfort of their own home.
Secondly, if you perform a web search for example “Dentist in Boston, MA” you will notice a few search results from many dentists in the area but also other results form directory websites like Yelp.com, Yellowpages.com, Angieslist.com, Superpages.com, Doctoroogle.com etc. These sites show reviews about many dentists good and bad.
Now at first you may think this is great since your business is listed there free. However, if you think about it, people will click on these directories first versus going on your own website. Most of these directories will have other dental offices listed there as well so people will eventually browse through other listings and eventually forget about you. For instance look at the yelp example below. On the top right you will notice “People Who Viewed This Also Viewed…” which clearly makes people think twice. And if any of this dental offices have better reviews than you they will most likely call them to make an appointment.
Now.. if you had your own website and whenever someone searched for your office and visited your website first then you will not lose that person to another office since you can have them land on your website rather than them going to other places. And if you have any questionable reviews people will bypass them.
Another benefit of having a website is about “patient education” informing your existing patients about you and your office. If a current patient searches online for your office hours or simply just to learn more about your services e.g if you do root canals, implants etc. It will be great if you can have some informative content describing what you do and who does it. This information gives the patient the attention they need and keeps them informed. A website will cut down on wasted time, reduce cost and increase profitability.
A website is a must and a smart investment for any dentist who is looking to take their business to the next level.
