If you don’t think you need a social media page for your orthodontic practice, think again!
Many young parents will research a company on social media before they go anywhere else. They will not search on Google or ever visit your website. They go right to their favorite social media page and start looking to see if you show up doing as much research as possible to find out what kind of practice you run.
If you do not have a vibrant presence on social media then you might as well not exist to an up-and-coming demographic of parents looking for braces for their kids. That’s why you need to roll out the welcome mat on social media and ensure that you list all of your vital information like business hours, contact info, and a button to click if they want to get in touch with you directly. Your Facebook page will allow you to put all this information onto your business page so you need to make sure you’re taking advantage of it and keep the info up to date. (There’s nothing worse than calling a business during its published hours of operation and finding out they’re not open.)
Social media page has gone from superfluous to a super important. Even serving as your first point of contact with your next generation of patients. A social media presence is just as important as having a website and can contribute just as much to patient conversion.
Of course, starting a social media account alone isn’t enough. You must maintain it with a constant flow of engaging content that encourages patients to share with their friends who might be potential clients.
Without a social media page that is enhanced and engaging, you might as well be hanging up a “No Trespassing” sign on your door. You want to dress up your page so that people want to hang around and find out more about your practice.
