Why Your Practice Needs a Reputation Management Strategy
We understand that as a dental practice owner, you’re busy:
Seeing patients
Managing a team
Growing your practice
Living your life outside of dentistry
So the last thing you want to do is spend time figuring out a marketing strategy, especially a reputation management strategy. But if you want to keep everything running smoothly in your practice, having a reputation management strategy helps you secure patients for your practice. Managing your reputation and keeping it up-to-date shows future patients that you care.
How Reputation Management Can Work for Your Practice
Reputation management is a tool that can help you secure new patients. To attract new patients to your practice, you need to be highly rated and have a strong online presence and reputation. When future patients see your practice in directories with quality reviews, they’ll get in touch.

How We Incorporate Reputation Management Into Your Marketing Plan
Our Digital Marketing Framework
Think of a marketing plan like you would a puzzle. The plan is the puzzle and the marketing tools you use are pieces of the puzzle. And just like a puzzle is not made of one piece, you can’t opt for one tool when it comes to marketing. All of the tools that make up a marketing plan need to work together and build on one another to help you see the full picture.
Our Digital Marketing Framework is what we use to understand your business goals and create a marketing plan to help you achieve them.
This framework lays the foundation that will bring in more ideal patients for your practice. We do this through a process of:
Discovery
For any system to work well, you need to know what you’re starting with. We learn about your practice, patients, services, marketing, and competitors to define what success looks like for your practice and set business goals for you to achieve.
Implementation
Once we understand your practice, we can build a marketing plan that targets your ideal patients on the right channels. By focusing on different marketing activities, you’ll be able to connect with future patients where they are online.
Testing
We want you to know how your marketing is performing so we test what we’ve built through regular benchmarking and by routinely evaluating your marketing strategy. That way, we can find what’s working and where we can make improvements.
Reporting
By regularly reporting results, we can consistently show you where the strengths in your marketing plan lie and where there’s room for us to pivot and adapt.
Optimization
With continual optimization and improvements, we can ensure that your marketing plan is always working. We will never just put your marketing on autopilot.
Think of a marketing plan like you would a puzzle…the marketing plan is the puzzle and the marketing tools you use are the pieces of the puzzle.

FAQs
Have questions about reputation management and how it can work for your practice? We have answers!
How often should I update my information in online directories?
There’s no specific schedule to update your information in online directories. We suggest at least a quarterly review or whenever you have new services or new photos to share. Even when there are no changes to your practice or services, there are often new features added to the online directories that you can include in your listings. It is important to update your listings on the online directories whenever the office is closed for holidays, vacation days, or weather-related events. Keeping your listings accurate ensures that patients can always reach you and that your practice appears professional and trustworthy.
How often should I be asking patients to leave reviews online?
Online reviews are important for two main reasons. First, they are relevant to how the search engines position your practice in the search results. Second, reviews are often the determining factor on whether a future patient considers contacting your practice. For these two reasons, creating a culture in your practice that regularly encourages patients to leave reviews, ideally after every visit, helps maintain a steady flow of testimonials. Consider implementing an automated system to remind patients to give feedback about their experiences.
I feel confident about my reputation online. What can be improved?
Even with a strong online reputation, there’s always room for improvement. Focus on gathering more positive reviews, engaging with patients through social media, and updating your website content regularly to keep it fresh and relevant. Additionally, staying active in your community and sharing those activities online can further enhance your reputation.
Does it make sense to hire a marketing agency to manage my reputation?
Yes, hiring a marketing agency that has the tools and experience to monitor online reviews, respond to feedback promptly, and implement strategies to enhance your online presence will benefit your practice. They can also provide insights and recommendations to ensure your reputation remains positive and that any potential issues are addressed swiftly.
Will managing my reputation help me secure more patients for my practice?
A strong, positive online reputation attracts new patients who are looking for trustworthy and highly-rated dental care. When future patients see consistent, positive reviews and that you are actively engaging with them, they are more likely to choose you over competitors. Reputation management builds trust and credibility, which are crucial for new patient acquisition.
