So, you have fully understood what social networking sites can do to your practice. Now that you have a Facebook page for your dental medical practice, what happens next? Social networking sites are excellent ways for you and your patients to always keep in contact. In addition, this is another great way for your patients to refer your clinic or your doctors to their network of friends and most of all, generate reviews. However, this is where other practices fail since they don’t know how to make eye-catching, shareable content. In short, your page has become stagnant. Here are a few steps to follow to make the best out of your Facebook page and bring your dental medical practice into a success.

Step #1: Posts Equals Generation
One of the main purpose of social networking sites is to generate the most important part in marketing – awareness. If you want your leads to become a success, you have to post good and reliable content consistently. This means that you have to update your patients at least once a week.

The idea is to inform your patients on certain topics, and don’t forget to always include a call-to-action. One of the most common examples when you talk about ‘Call to Action’ is ‘Schedule a dental appointment check up today!’. Again, post everyday and it will keep your patients up to date. After all, your Facebook page is used to interact with your patients. This is the best time to enable your clients to like, comment, and share your posts.

Now that you have the knowledge on the purpose of each Facebook post, it is about time to dig into what your post would look like.

Step #2: Be careful on what you post
Your content must be of good quality. There are professionals who know how to design catchy and interesting content. You can always hire them and allow them to create the best social media content for your dental medical practice to be on the lead. Remember, content is a great instrument or medium for your target market.

Ads are also for your practice. Not everyone knows about the value of Facebook ads. In fact, they think that dental medical practices don’t need this, but the truth is, you do need it. This is the best way to hit your target market right on the spot. You can also include in your ads offers you want to share with your patients.

Reviews are important and you must not just ignore them. They encourage your patients to trust your practice and your doctors. As soon as other people read positive things about your clinic, they’ll want to visit your practice.

Two steps to follow and to focus on, but you have to be careful. Once you have the best content and updated Facebook page, you will be surprised on the number of patients coming to your dental medical practice.
