How to Improve Dental Website Conversion Rates – Part 1

Increasing your dental website conversion rate can effectively boost practice sales. Focus on optimizing website conversion rate by improving site navigation and placing content that is highly relevant in a way that encourages discoverability and interaction help build brand credibility. More importantly it helps in reducing instances of your site visitors searching for your competitors.

Few things to consider when improving your website conversion rate;

Optimize your Dental Practice Website Content

The content on your site is one of the most effective elements of increasing website conversion. Content that addresses trending topics of interest or important areas of patient concern can help build practice credibility as it shows that you are aware of potential target audience sentiment. It also displays your expertise and the fact that you care about issues that concern them.

Create Attention Grabbing Web Page Headlines

Your web page headline is a leading element in attracting the attention of site visitors. During that three second space, a visitor will decide whether or not to move to a different site or to continue engaging with your content. So it is important that you spend time on creating headlines that attract the attention of the visitor. A strong and convincing headline will help in making visitors understand that not only are they in the right place but more important it will help convince them that their issues and concerns will get an effective resolution.

Include Effective Call to Action

Audience engagement is necessary. However, it is equally important that you encourage potential patients to move to the next step in the conversion process by including an effective and strong call-to-action(s). By doing this you make it easy for potential patients to take the necessary steps to get what they want which could be either scheduling an appointment, or signing for your newsletter or to claim an offer or treatment discount or any other form of dental brand interaction that you are keen on encouraging.

Make it Easy for Potential Patients to Contact your Practice

A major reason why interested visitors sometimes abandon a brand is because they find it difficult to find necessary contact information. Make sure all your contact information such as phone number(s), address, directions to your practice, and patient contact forms should be easy to find and prominently displayed across your dental website.

Build a Sense of Anticipation and Enthusiasm for your Products and Services

If you want to attract visitor attention simply placing products and services information is not enough. You need to build anticipation for what you are offering. Instead of overly focusing on product or service features, create copy that details how a particular product or service can be beneficial to potential patients. Highlight problem solving features and or highlight specific reasons why potential patients should select your brand. When potential patients read about your products and services there should be a certain sense of enthusiasm in their minds about the kind of benefits and advantages that they will gain and or can avail.

Show Proof or Brand Credibility

There is hardly anyone who is not familiar with the line “show me the money” from the movie Jerry McGuire. It is the same for your patients; they want proof that engaging and interacting with your brand is worth their time and effort. Building brand credibility in the digital age involves talking about your brand in a way that appeals to your target crowd and also in places that they visit regularly. The use of patient testimonials can help build positive brand sentiment in the minds of your audience. Another effective way of achieving this is by earning and showcasing positive reviews over leading review sites. Positive reviews and testimonials are strong people validations that can build trust in a brand.
