  SEO TERMS FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND I have created a list of common SEO terms which you may find useful to know. Search Engine Optimisation can be quite complex but when you hear or read about popular SEO terms, the explanations in this blog post may help you understand what’s involved and why they are important for your dental website.   WHAT IS SERP? SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page which are the result listings seen in Google, Bing, and Yahoo etc.   WHAT DOES URL STAND FOR? URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. This is, in essence, an address that helps your online browser to find a website or individual web […]

  WEBSITE ENQUIRY FORMS – WHERE DO THEY GO? Have you ever wondered who is actually reading the website enquiry forms you fill in? Sometimes they ask for very personal information and before you know it, you are being bombarded with emails, newsletters and junk mail. It’s not until much later on that you realise your details have been passed onto a third party. Plus we generally do not even stop to think how our details are stored or what happens to them. Find out how you can protect your patient’s data and reassure them that their details are kept safe at your dental practice.   DOES IT AFFECT YOUR DENTAL WEBSITE? The answer […]

  GDPR PRIVACY POLICY REQUIREMENTS Privacy Policies are part of the General Data Protection Regulation and your website must include these in order for your dental practice to comply. Privacy Policies are different from your standard Policies and Procedures where you may inform patients about complaints, violent behaviour or missed appointments. These could be displayed in various places around your website but it would be wise to include a dedicated section to highlight three key requirements which I have listed below.   WHAT SHOULD PRIVACY POLICIES INCLUDE? General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR as it is more commonly know as, requires you to make sure you have the right privacy policies in place in order to […]

  WHY INVEST IN YOUR WEBSITE? It is true to say that a professional website is an essential marketing tool for any business today. It is now proving to be worthwhile to seriously invest in your website. Many dentists are now seeing a major contribution to their monthly income from patients who make contact through their websites. The surprising fact is, many of these dentists are unaware of this as they do not regularly monitor its activity. One must understand that the secret to a successful website does not lie in being listed number one on Google. Admittedly it helps increase your hit ratings, but it can be costly and will not definitely guarantee new enquiries. […]

  IS YOUR DENTAL WEBSITE NON-SECURE? Would you enter a website which highlights in-secure notices? You would probably be alarmed and click away very quickly just in case it harmed your PC or generated a virus. With secure website hosting this would not happen and not only would you be protecting your website, but your patients too. So why is it important to be aware of this and how will it affect your website and your patients? Read on…   INTERNET BROWSERS ARE CHANGING With GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) affecting all businesses in the UK as well as multi-national organisations across the globe, websites and companies which provide online […]

  WHAT YOUR BRAND SAYS ABOUT YOU If you think only big corporate names need to think about things like brand names and logos, think again. Your dental brand says a lot about you and your business. And that’s as true for a one-person operation as it is for a multi-national conglomerate. Creating a strong dental brand for your practice can help set yourself apart from your competitors. So aim to lay the right foundation down for the future growth of your business and think about all your branding opportunities.   WHAT IS A DENTAL BRAND? Your brand is more than just the logo on your letterhead or your business name; it is […]

  HAS YOUR WEBSITE EVER FALTERED? Has your website ever experienced a glitch? For instance, you may have clicked through a link and seen a ‘404 Page Not Found’, or a photo not displaying on a web page, or worse still… your dental website has suddenly disappeared! So what can you do to prevent downtime and optimise performance? The answer is to ensure you are maintaining your dental website with the right support plan in place. Although this will add extra costs to your expenses each month, it will provide you with peace of mind and prevent a whole list of potential problems which can occur at any time. But wait I hear you asking, what […]
