Dental Blogs
High quality, fresh and unique content is one of the most important ranking factors. If you haven’t already, I would thoroughly recommend setting up a blog. Blogs are great for getting regular, fresh content on your Dental website and not only is it great for your rankings, blogs also really help users engage on your website.
Have a look a the tips I’ve put together for setting up your first dental blog:
1. Fresh Content – Do not begin writing for your blog unless you can commit to a schedule of at least one to two posts per week. Also, do not commit to a blog if you do not have your own unique ideas. The next few tips can help you generate ideas if you are fresh out.
2. Blog Purpose – What is the purpose of your blog? Don’t lose sight of your reason for creating it in the first place. Brainstorm a number of words related to the topic and see if any of these words spark an idea for a post.
3. New New New! – What is new within your dental practice or the dental industry as a whole? People love hearing about new information and then sharing time-sensitive content they discover with their networks. Are you introducing a new product or service, revamping an older one, or actively participating in your community? Let people know with a blog post. If you have photographs, images, quotes, or videos to include – even better!
4. FAQs – For whatever reason, you find visitors to your website, prospective clients, or current clients, are asking the same questions over and over again. Besides updating the pertinent parts of your website and your FAQ page, consider writing blog posts that focus on answering each of these questions in depth. Not only are they likely to come up in searches for those looking for answers (which will then lead them to your website), but they can be used to send so the inquirer can read the answer at their own pace or have a reminder of a conversation they had earlier.
5. Events – Is your dental practice attending any conferences, tradeshows, or any other events this year? Your patients will be interested to hear what you are up to.
6. Ask Employees – Those employed at your company have a wealth of knowledge about the work that you do. Ask for ideas about what to post. Sometimes it helps if you ask a prompting question such as “What is something our dental practice is doing right now that prospective new patients would be interested in hearing about?” or “Do we have any patient satisfaction stories we can pair with a quote and information about that product or service and post to our blog?”
7. Optimise – Make sure that the titles of your blog posts are both interesting and relatively short. Write a description to be included in the meta-tags of the blog post when it is posted online. Consult your analytics data to see which blog posts are driving traffic (and if visitors are converting) and consider writing more on the topics that are delivering good visitors.
The above blog writing tips are a good starting point when you find yourself stuck before writing a blog post but if you need any further information, call us today on 01202 677277.
