A search engine is an online resource for finding information based on search queries. The most popular search engines include Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask. Hundreds of millions of people use search engines every day to find information - these people include your potential clients. You've invested in a professional Website, but if it is not ranked high on search engines, you are missing out on potential new patients.
Search engine optimization (SEO), is the process of changing internal and external aspects of your dental Websites so that it will be listed closer to the top of the search engine results page (SERP) when specific terms are searched for. For instance, if your dental practice is in Dallas, you would want your site to come up on the first page of a Yahoo search for the terms Dallas and dentist. By using Dallas and dentist as keywords throughout your site, the potential for higher rankings increases. However, there are many insider tips for using keywords effectively, and keywords are not the only SEO tool.
The recurrence of keywords used to be a primary focus for SEO, but now readability of a site is important, too. Considerations like how long and short page text is, whether a keyword appears too many times, and the headings and subheadings on a page are important.
