Why Dental Professionals Can't Afford to Ignore Social Media Reviews

Social media is a way of life in this day in age. 33% of the Earth's population is active on Facebook. If your dental office doesn't have social media accounts established, it's time to get social. Social media platforms have reputation prompts, just like Google or any other online reputation source. Not monitoring the online reputation across your social media platforms may be impacting your business in a negative way. Our online reputation management platform allows you the ability to easily monitor your online reviews across 100+ websites -- social media platforms included. Learn why social media and social media reviews are so important to dentists:

Benefits of Social Media for Dentists:

Expand Your Reach
Using social media can help you reach many more people than a traditional advertising method. People spend a significant amount of time on social media each day. Have your message reach people where they spend their time -- online!

Showcase your Office
You can give your dental office a fun and inviting personality by showcasing the office environment. This can really feature what's unique about your dentist and help draw more patients in.

Inform Potential Patients
Keep your audience informed. From oral care tips to facts about teeth to special dental products, social media is an inexpensive way to keep your followers informed. Current patients and potential patients are all on social media and it's a great way to reach them with your message!

Collect Reviews
Social media platforms have their own review rating systems. This offers your dental clinic another platform to gather feedback from patients. See what you're doing right and ways you can improve your practice when you evaluate your social media reviews.

How Social Media Reviews Work:

Just like any other site that allows platform visitors to leave feedback, social media works the same way. Facebook prompts for page visitors to leave feedback. More recently, Facebook has transitioned away from a transitional star rating scale to a "Recommendation" scale. Page visitors can choose to recommend or not recommend a specific business. At this point, the visitor can leave verbiage along with their recommendation rating, if they choose. Once a recommendation is made, your business page will receive a notification and you can review it at that point.  We highly recommend responding to every review or recommendation. This can help you appear to be responsive and trustworthy in the eyes of those reading your business recommendations. If someone chooses to not recommend your dentist, it's even more so important to respond. Take time to apologize for the negative experience and try to make the situation right. This can also show that you try to right a wrong in the eyes of those reading your reviews.

How BlueJay Reviews Can Help:

Our online reputation management business can help your dental office better monitor your online reputation. We even offer a feature that allows you to collect more reviews. As a patient is entered into your system, an automated review prompt will be sent via email or text. This prompt will include a link to leave direct feedback about your dental office on a platform of your choice -- social media is often one of the most popular choices.

How Dental Clinics Are Adapting to the New Normal

Dental clinics were some of the first businesses to shut down for a period of time when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit. Since then, many safety precautions and changes have been made and dental offices are opening back up across the country.  Dental practices were considered high-risk in the early days of the pandemic, but new research indicates that 80% of adults are comfortable revisiting the dentist. Practices are increasing COVID-19 testing to ease these concerns. Some even require patients to be screened twice before an appointment.  Some offices took advantage of the shutdown to implement tools to increase efficiency and improve productivity, and are turning to technology to:  Enhance patient communication. Recall reminders, appointment confirmations, post-procedure follow-ups take a long time when done manually. Software with SMS and email capabilities can help lighten the load.  Go paperless.
