One-quarter of dentists don't own websites
While many dentists own and operate successful websites, a recent report from TheWealthyDentist.com suggests that a significant number of practitioners have no web presence at all.
The source found that three out of four dentists own websites and 87 percent of them are satisfied with the marketing benefits it has provided them. Still, 25 percent don’t operate web pages, while 13 percent lack any sort of web-based marketing efforts.
Dental websites have numerous advantages. According to respondents, web pages can help dentists acquire between five and 10 new patients per month.
“Any dental practice today must have a website. It is one of our primary sources for new patients. In addition, it is helpful to be associated with social media as a further tool for networking and driving patients to your website,” a Florida-based dentist told the source.
As TheWealthyDentist.com notes, practicioners are increasingly finding websites to be vital to their marketing campaigns. Dentists creating their home pages for the first time may want to consider consulting a web design company to maximize the impact it has on potential patients.
