So are you 53x more likely to be found?

…Or 53x LESS likely to be found?

You don’t need to know a lot about the internet to know that online video has exploded in the past few years. If you search for almost anything in Google now you will almost always see video at the top of the results (or more).

Video is becoming a big business, and it’s one that you will need to understand in order to keep your dental website competing. The quantity of video appearing on the World Wide Web is certainly shocking, but that isn’t the only statistic worth considering.

Comscore recently surveyed a group of Americans to discover that 82.5% of them view videos online. Videos are out there, and they are being watched each and every second of each and every day!

Over 72 Hours of new video are uploaded to YouTube every Minute. Over 2 Billion videos are viewed on Facebook each month.

90% of Internet traffic is currently video. Streaming online video has grown by 648% just this past year.

80% of searchers would rather watch video than read text on the same webpage. 32% liked watching video more than browsing text for examining business info.


Attract More Qualified Patients With Video

Video has far surpassed all other dental marketing messages you can put on your website. It can provide information displaying your expertise, it allows you to post “live” testimonials from other patients, and any more it is simply expected by your prospects when they are searching. A minute of video is worth 1.8 million words (Dr. James McQuivey, Forrester Research, January 2009).

But video has its credibility problems when done incorrectly. Unprofessional productions lead many prospective patients to believe that if the video was produced hastily and inexpensively, then the entire website – and therefore the dentist – is of dubious quality as well.

  • Shaky shots and poor quality sound discredits your efforts.
  • Quick “hallway” shots lend to the belief that your entire operation is cheap and probably not worth considering.
  • Bad interview tactics with patients staring directly into the camera don’t seem realistic
  • Jerky and unprofessional editing does not help your professional image and is distracting to your message.

  • Leverage the Power of Video

    What does Video do for my prospects?

  • Video on your website lets them begin developing a relationship with you, establishing your expertise, showing your sincerity, alleviating their concerns, and…
  • Answering all their burning questions that they are searching for.
  • Whether used an an introduction, testimonials from your patients, a demonstration of your expertise, or to show off advanced clinical training, video adds depth and flair to your web presence.
  • Google is now showing videos at the top of the search results, so you can grab another top position by optimizing your videos.

But now that we’ve become a ‘mobile’ society, your information also has to be optimized for mobile phones. This means your website and presence now has to translate to a mobile presence.

That’s where our very own professional spokesmodels can help!

    Forrester Research Group found that videos were 53 times (5300%!) more likely to receive first page organic rankings than were traditional, static web pages. Videos now go hand in hand with good search engine optimization practices.

Using green screens, we can create professional high-quality videos for you to use in all your marketing.

    Social media and blogs can work hand in hand to not only keep your followers informed but to help you build an “iron cage” around your patients. What was once just a way for college kids to keep in touch with their friends is now the fastest growing and most used connecting point for just about everyone, including those who you wish to attract as patients. When used diligently and with targeted messages, social media sites can build you a loyal following. With mobile applications they have become even more important as you can now post news and events and your audience doesn’t even have to be at a computer to read about you.

    SEO, in a nutshell, is presenting your site to search engines in the best possible light. The key to getting good ranking in the search engines is quality content. Anyone who tells you differently is lying to you. The goal of all search engines is to provide their users with the best content available for a given search, and repetitive writing meant to be read by machines instead of humans isn’t it.

    Every month, online consumers perform over 3 billion local searches for nearby products and services. The effectiveness of your Local Search strategy makes all the difference when it comes to widening your pool of potential customers and walking them right to your door.

    So you’re teetering on the fence – you’re spending $1000 to $5000 a month on your AdWords right now, and not really sure what you’re getting. It could be better, but you don’t know how to do it. You hear about all these so called “AdWords Experts” out there that seemingly charge an arm and a leg for their expertise. You know you need to do something, but don’t know where to start.

    Getting a great level of traffic to your website is an all important step in generating new clients for your practice, but unfortunately the battle doesn’t end there! You still need to transform that traffic into contacts, and those contacts into paying patients. What better way to do that than by offering a free book in exchange for their contact details? We call this "Advertising Lure."

    You want results you can see and you want to know which marketing efforts are delivering results. Plain and simple. We go the extra mile and make the effort to provide you with data from every marketing effort we put forth…every one we provide you with and more…even your phone calls. You’ll know which efforts are working, which need to be strengthened and even which need to be scrapped.

    Keeping your website competitive means lots of content. Maintaining that content is a major frustration and time expenditure. But it needs to be done because search engines devour fresh content. Patients love fresh content as well. There is no greater turn off for a patient than to go to your website and see outdated blogs, stale home pages and the same testimonials they have seen for years.
