Patient Activator® Launches New Features That Maximize SEO and Social Media Visibility for Dentists

Patient Activator®, 1-800-DENTIST’s award-winning patient reminder service, announced the
completion of a major optimization project. New features include integration with Facebook®,
Twitter® and Google’s +1, plus office maps, driving directions, and the ability to “Request an
Appointment” directly from the review page. Most importantly, the sites are optimized with the
microformatted code preferred by Google® to rank higher in Google® search results.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 06, 2011 -- Patient Activator®, 1-800-DENTIST’s award-winning patient
reminder service, today announced the completion of a major optimization project that enables dentists to grow their businesses by engaging current and prospective patients through Google® search, email, and social media platforms, including Facebook®, Twitter® and Google’s +1.

“We’re introducing a series of exciting new features that will turn a dentist’s Patient Activator® patient review
webpage into a word-of-mouth referral machine,” said 1-800-DENTIST® founder Fred Joyal. “Our review
sites now feature a suite of cutting-edge Facebook®, Twitter® and email tools that make it easier for patients to post reviews and share recommendations with their social networks. New tools also allow dentists to post their positive reviews on Facebook® with the click of a mouse.”

The pages with patient reviews have a redesigned look that makes them more informative and appealing to new patients. New features include office maps, driving directions, and the ability to “Request an Appointment” directly from the review page. Most importantly, the sites are optimized with the microformatted code preferred by Google®. It’s the best way to consistently rank higher in Google® search results.

“We’re very excited about adding Google’s new ‘+1’ social sharing tool to our patient review pages,” said
Jeanne Anderson, Patient Activator’s Vice President of Product Management. “This is an industry exclusive.
Currently, we’re the only patient communication software company that lets patients ‘like’ or ‘recommend’
dental practices on Google’s new social media network.”

As part of the upgrade, Patient Activator® is also relocating its patient review pages to new, more Google-friendly locations on the domain NationalDentalReviews.org. According to Anderson, this is a strategic move designed to instantly increase the patient reviews’ credibility with consumers.

“This optimization initiative is just one more way we help dentists build their practices,” Anderson added.
“Patient Activator® will continue to roll out innovative, production-generating features that ensure our clients
continue to enjoy the best-of-class product and service in social media optimization and patient
communication.”
