What is Search engine optimization? Or (SEO)
It is a process made up of many different components, all of which
must be carefully considered and implemented to ensure proper visibility
and website placement. Below you will find an overview of some of the
key terms and other steps that make up the process of dental search
engine optimization. Many of the terms below are technical in nature,
but definitions can be found on the definition page
Search Engine Optimization: Search engines use mathematical
formulas to determine the rank of a web page. These mathematical
formulas are called ranking algorithms.
How does Google rank your web pages?
How Google explains the ranking algorithm on their company
pages. “Traditional search engines rely heavily on how
often a word appears on a web page. Google uses Page Rank TM to examine
the entire link structure of the web and determine which pages are
most important.
“It then conducts hypertext-matching analysis to determine which
pages are relevant to the specific search being conducted. By combining
overall importance and query-specific relevance, Google is able to
put the most relevant and reliable results first.”
Using effective keywords is the back bone of any Dental Office
Marketing campaign.
Keywords are the words or terms that your potential dental clients
enter in the search engines to find the dental websites containing
the information they are seeking.
It is important that your dental office’s website has a good
search engine ranking for popular keywords that are related to the
theme of your dental website. It is pointless to optimize your dental
office’s web pages for keywords that nobody uses when they conduct
dental office searches.
The goal of your dental office’s internet marketing is simply
to capture targeted visitors so your keywords must not be too broad,
to vague or too general. One of the tasks we perform at GP Internet
Marketing is to develop and build a list of the most effective keywords
that will be used by your potential clients when they begin to look
for your dental office.
Which keywords are the right keywords for your dental website?
We will develop a list of focused and targeted dental keyword phrases
that are common enough so the web searcher will use them, but selective
enough that they do not return millions of matches. Very specific dental
keywords generate highly qualified, targeted traffic that increases
your client base.
- The most effective keyword phrases consist of two to four words
- Competitive keywords are discouraged
- Be specific to your dental practice and demographic area
. Use only keywords that are important and relevant to your practice.
To have a successful Internet Dental Office Marketing campaign you
have to target the best key words. The content on your dental website
should have keywords that are relevant to your site and potential dental
clients should be searching for your keywords. Go to What we do to
reach first page placement for dentists

services than those using fewer words (source: One up web Research
Important steps GP takes when focusing on your keywords.
- Focusing on keywords that will bring your dental practice’s
targeted visitors, instead of keywords with a high search
volume.
- Keywords that are so targeted that is very likely that they will
attract potential clients that are in need of your dental office’s
services.
- Research your dental office’s competition, to establish
keywords that your potential clients are using to find other dental
websites similar to yours.

Keyword rich content
The key to successful keyword usage is to create keyword rich content
that will maximize your dental office’s presence on the web
but that will not be excluded by search engines due to over saturation.
When web pages are published to the search engines they evaluate
the pages with automated programs called spiders.
These spiders index your dental office’s website and help
achieve maximum placement on the search engines.
We understand how the search engines operate and help you avoid
unethical practices such as keyword stuffing or keyword over saturation
which can result in lower search engine placement, or, even worse,
exclusion from search engine results.
Part of our Internet Dental Marketing is to create keyword rich
content that places your web site on the first page of search results
for your keywords.
Directory submissions
Once the proper dental keywords have been determined and the necessary
keyword rich content has been created, your dental office’s
website must be listed with the appropriate directories and search
engines so potential clients will be able to find it.
While search engine spiders will search published pages to catalogue
your content, direct submissions can speed up the process of Internet
Dental Marketing by allowing your dental website to be listed
sooner with the various search engines.
Once your dental website is listed, potential clients will be able
to find your dental website when they search your keywords.
Included in our Internet Marketing for Dental Offices program, we
provide a written guarantee for
first page search engine placement when your keywords are searched.

Dental website design
The design of the web site for your dental practice is as important
as your keyword and keyword placement. It is important to understand
your potential clients and what they want to see on your website.
It will be important to have a visually appealing page, as well
as a page that is rich in informative dental content. We understand
what your potential clients want to see on your website and we can
help you adapt your dental office’s internet presence to best
attract new clients.
We help build your dental office website to be an effective sales
tool. One that will ensure your potential clients will take
action while on your site.
Our experience in professional website design will allow you to
customize your website while ensuring that your site will be informative,
easy to navigate and appealing to potential dental clients.
All the while, by keeping in mind the importance of dental search
engine marketing, we will help you create web pages that your potential
clients will find and come back to when they start their search for
a dental office.
Website monitoring
As important as the design of a web site may be, to ensure the long
term continued success of the site, ongoing monitoring is required
for your dental website.
While your dental services may remain the same, your marketing approach
should be fluid. Your website must be evaluated and changes
made from time to time to keep your content and site fresh for effective
Internet Dental Marketing.
One method we use to monitor your dental website is to generate
website positioning or ranking reports that show how your dental
website is appearing or being ranked on the various search engines.
Linking campaigns need to be monitored and worked on as well.
Competition Analysis
It is no mystery to dental professionals that the industry is one
of competition. We recognize this and incorporate it into your
dental office’s marketing strategy by providing an analysis
of the dental competition.
This analysis allows you to see what the competition is doing and
also identifies the potential dental clients competitors are targeting.
By incorporating this information into your personalized and unique
dental office marketing strategy, we are able to provide first page
placement in searches relevant to your dental office.
Your dental office’s internet marketing is our first priority,
and we work hard to ensure you are one step ahead of your competition.
Linking
One of the most productive methods of delivering effective dental
office internet marketing, first page rankings, and in generating
traffic to your site is through a process known as linking.
Linking is a process whereby your dental website is linked, or listed
through the appropriate banner on another dental related web page.
You must have good links from related pages that point to your site
to get good results for the Page Rank factor.
It works like this; if page A links to page b then it is a recommendation
from page A to page B. The more links that point to your dental website,
the better your rankings.
Quality is very important. Links from websites that contain the
keywords for which you want to have high rankings pointed to your
site, is very important.
Links from a website that has a related topic is much better than
links from unrelated sites or link lists.
This increases the web presence and web visibility of your web site. However,
the process is not as simple as flooding the web with links to your
dental web site.
While this has been done by other web firms in the past, major search
engines actually penalize web sites for this type of linking and
can even exclude these sites from search results.
We analyze top ranking dental web sites related to your dental office
web site and/or services and with the site’s permission your
web site is linked to their site.
This targeted marketing increases traffic to your site and, ultimately,
your dental web presence.
