Dental Design continues to see an increase in mobile search across our dental practice websites which we view using Google Analytics. The tracking system is installed on all the sites we manage and this has provided us with real life evidence supported by the data and research continually being published across the mobile search industry.
Our sites typically see around 30% of searches at present being made via a mobile or tablet device with some receiving over 50% of their visitors from a mobile device.
With the new enhanced PPC option from Google Adwords, the vehicle we use to advertise sites online, now is the opportune moment to get involved in mobile advertising. Using the enhanced campaign function, we have a greater ability to produce targeted ads and campaigns that reach potential patients across a multi-device, always-on-the-go, location changing world.
