Do I really need a new website?

If I had a dollar for every time I was asked this question over the past 20 years, I would be able to buy a brand-new Tesla Model X with Ludicrous Mode.

At the same time, this question remained a tough one to answer… until now.

In the past, it has been pretty subjective. Sometimes, it was obvious… websites featuring 6 shades of brown and your photo from dental school graduation needed to be updated.

In other cases, it was not so obvious. Personal preferences and the goals of your practice often guided the decision.

Learn to Love Long Scrolling Websites… or Get Left in the Past!

Dentist explaining why she does not like long scrolling websites

Once upon a time, websites that scrolled on and on were seen as a death knell for businesses’ online presence, including dental practices. People weren’t going to scroll for more information; if you didn’t have all your information “above the fold,” it was essentially lost in the internet ether.

Then came 2015 and the shift to mobile. As you know from our previous blog posts, including “Generating Patients for your Practice using a Custom Dental Website,” about 60 to 70% of your viewers are visiting your site from a mobile device. So, in order to stay relevant, web designers had to reconfigure the look and feel of websites. That shift took long scrolling sites from the losing column of web design over to the winning.

Users have become accustomed to scrolling with ease; it’s often easier to scroll and find what you’re looking for versus clicking on a page and waiting for it to load. Look at young kids today; hand them a smartphone or tablet, and they’ve got scrolling down pat!

As one of only two Google Partners in the dental marketing industry, Google was impressed with our ability to run lean and highly-successful Pay-Per-Click (PPC) online advertising campaigns for our clients. They had been following our successes behind the numbers for a while before reaching out, and when they finally did, we were invited to visit with them in sunny San Diego.

Why, you might ask? TNT Dental was selected to join an acceleration program to become a Google Premier Partner — a higher-tier designation that offers a more solid partnership with the search engine juggernaut and access to their leadership and resources.

We also learned some things while visiting with them we think you might be interested to know…

Is Your Dental Practice Cookie Cutter?

Cookie batter with tooth cookie shapes cut outThink about what you spent to buy and/or build your dental practice. Remember the costs of things like the interior design, staffing, and equipment purchases? Don’t forget to include what you spent on all those years of education!
