Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak

Guest: Eric Rea, CEO of Podium

 

Key Takeaways:

·        Podium is a reputation management platform, helping to significantly boost your practice’s online reviews, and Podium has funding invested from Google.

·        Podium focused on creating a great experience for the patient. This helps boost conversion rates and gets you more & better reviews. 

·        Reviews are made simple, and are targeted to platforms that are most popular with the user and the practice. 

·        Podium has access to parts of Google’s API that other competitors don’t, which gives them unique access into how their review system works. 

·        Recentness of reviews is important to Google’s algorithm so it’s key to continue getting rave reviews from your patients. 

·        User generated content (reviews, social media postings from patients, etc) is a way better predictor of your SEO rank than how many links you have to your website. 

·        Google Local Guides carry more weight than other reviewers. 

·        To comply with Yelp’s policies of not asking for reviews on their platform, Podium does not solicit reviews for Yelp. 

·        The most important platforms for dentists to pay attention to are Instagram/Facebook, Snapchat, and Google. These are the platforms where people spend their time, and they’re all working to integrate other features to become unique ecosystems. 

·        Reviews have shifted the marketing equation, you can’t fake real people talking about you online. 

·        Video reviews are important for the future, but they’re really hard to sift through. Review platforms haven’t gotten to a place where they make video reviews possible or easy.

·        Voice-activated devices are also key to future marketing. Imagine giving your review to Siri or Alexa!

·        Podiums software will scale and change based on future development from Google.

·        90% of reputation management companies are NOT recommended by the review platform sites.

·        Making experiences seamless is how companies thrive.

·        Podium is working on a communication platform that allows offices to connect with patients and make communication seamless.
