The Importance of Online Reviews
Every practice needs good reviews.
Did you know that positive reviews are an important ranking factor for local SEO?
High-quality, positive reviews from your patients will improve your practice’s visibility and increase the likelihood that a potential patient will visit you.
Building reviews can also help educate new patients on why they should join your practice. At the end of the day people need reassurance and confirmation that their actions are the right ones. When patients are deciding on which practice to join, seeing an average review rating of 4 stars, or reading positive reviews may provide the extra push they need.
Review sites are becoming more and more significant to people’s buying decisions and purchasing intent. The number of consumers who read and trust online reviews is increasing. Encouraging your patients to leave Google reviews is essential for the on-going marketing of your site.
