In fact, a <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/new-survey-reveals-americans-choose-dentists-based-on-online-reviews-proximity-and-rank-in-the-search-results-300907676.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">recent survey <\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">found that 18.4% of patients are most likely to pick the dental practice which ranks highest on search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But simply <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">having a website <\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is not enough to make this happen: most patients will still never stumble upon your website if the site isn\u2019t optimized to appear high in search results, especially as the <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.org\/-\/media\/project\/ada-organization\/ada\/ada-org\/files\/resources\/research\/hpi\/hpibrief_0521_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">number of dental practices grows<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and competition online increases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even if a patient has heard about your practice from a friend or social media, they will still likely visit your website before booking an appointment. For many patients, this is a form of due diligence. And if your website is not easily searchable or doesn\u2019t include key information such as insurance details and a list of your services, they will take it as a negative signal \u2013 and most likely go with a different dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>What you can do<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dentists need to understand that there are multiple ways for patients to find your practice.
