How a Dental Hygienist Can Increase New Patient Flow

As a dental hygienist, there is more that you can do to increase new patient flow than you may think. Aside from being awesome and having everyone want to send their friends to see you, there are a couple other things that you can do. In a previous article, I talked about how you could help the practice have more patients, but in this article I want to talk specifically about getting more new patients.

What You Can Do

When someone Googles dentist in the city that you work in, Google brings up local search results in what online marketers call "the snack pack". This is highly coveted placement if you are in a city with a little bit, or a lot of competition. It will show the business name, a map, an option to go to the website, and the number of reviews along with the rating. There are a few thing that the business should do to get their local search results up, but there is something that the dental hygienist can do that has a big influence on getting that local ranking up.

Ask for reviews! One of the local ranking signals is Google Reviews. You can ask patients to leave a review about their experience. Since they love you so much, they will probably be more than happy to do that. The more reviews you have the more people will trust your practice and the easier they will find you.

Give it a try! Your dentist will be happy that you did, and it may even give you grounds for a raise!
