SEO Secrets to Make Your Dental Website Shine!

Written By Justin Lockwood

Alright, listen up doc, it's time to turn your dental website from plaque-ridden to positively gleaming in search engine results! Let's unleash your inner SEO rockstar with some killer optimization tips:

Keyword Party!:

Imagine keywords like "sparkling smile" and "cavity crusher" being confetti raining down on your website. Research the phrases potential patients use to find dentists in your area. Sprinkle those keywords throughout your website content, but remember – it's a party, not a lecture hall. Don't stuff them in like an overstuffed piñata!

Content that Rocks:

Your website needs content that's more captivating than the gas laughing you offer (hopefully!). Create informative and engaging blog posts about dental hygiene myths, the latest procedures (think "invisible braces: friend or foe?"), or even fun "Would You Rather" scenarios with a dental twist. Fresh content keeps search engines coming back for more, and patients engaged.

Mobile Makeover:

People love convenience more than flossing with a shoestring (we've all been there!). Make sure your website looks fantastic and functions flawlessly on smartphones. Think of it as giving your website a sleek set of invisible braces – it'll improve user experience and search engine rankings.

Backlink Bonanza:

Backlinks are like celebrity endorsements for your website. Get other reputable websites (think local businesses or health blogs) to link back to yours. It shows search engines your website is the real deal and boosts your SEO cred.

Local Love:

Don't forget the power of local SEO! Claim your Google My Business listing and fill it with all the juicy details like your address, dazzling photos of your practice (happy patients are a must!), and dazzling reviews (hint, hint – nudge, nudge your patients to leave some stellar ones!).

Bonus Tip: Think "structured data." It's like giving search engines an X-ray of your website, revealing all the good stuff like appointment options and contact details. This can lead to richer search results that make your website stand out.

Remember:

SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep your website updated, track your progress with analytics tools (think of them as your SEO compass!), and don't be afraid to experiment. With dedication and these rockin' tips, your dental website will soon be attracting new patients faster than you can say "fluoride."

I grew up on a kind of hippy-commune where all my toys were made of wood and imagination was my only screen time. This forced me to be a creative thinker from the start. I drew and sold my first logo when I was twelve and still feel inspired every day to discover new ways of communicating peoples stories and passion. I create things that are designed to be used and enjoyed. Not just admired but interacted with. That demonstrate knowledge and feel personal. Because this is what makes design memorable.

During my almost 20 year career I've been lucky to work with some of the world’s most admired brands — companies like Alaska Airlines, Lululemon, GAP, Madison Square Garden, Target, TOMS, HBO, Marvel, TED, and CNN. In recent years I've helped startups including AutoLotto, Spoon Rocket, Healthiest, Trizic and Prevail design successful products and raise millions in funding.
