\"dentalSo, you\u2019ve assessed your dental patient profiles \u2014 you know their varying ages, how often they come in and what kind of treatments they get. But, do you have visibility to one of the most critical pieces of information: where your dental patients are located?<\/p>\n

Sure, you have their addresses logged, but have you truly dug in and analyzed their locations in comparison to your practice? Have you looked at where you are marketing in relation to your office location? Your dental patients’ locations should not be overlooked; this data is everything when it comes to effective dental marketing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Performing a Zip Code Analysis<\/h2>\n

Dental Practice Management Software, including Dentrix and EagleSoft, can hold the key to understanding your patients\u2019 information. They provide patient profile reports that display insights on your dental practice, including your patients\u2019 age, which patients are insured, geography and your number of new patients, among other identifiers. Most dentists don\u2019t know this report exists, so by getting your hands on this, it can put you a step ahead of the competition! That said, it doesn\u2019t do you any good to get this software but sit on the results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Using Zip Code Data to Enhance Dental Practice Marketing<\/h2>\n

Collecting your patients’ zip codes is half the battle. Once you have that sweet, succulent data in-hand, here are a few ways you can put the information to work for your dental practice<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Figure Out Your Patients\u2019 Zip Codes<\/h3>\n

\"\"Now, it\u2019s time to figure out where your patients are located. Just remember the 80\/20 rule in dentistry: if you can identify five to six zip codes near your office, make sure at least 80% of your patients are coming from those areas.<\/p>\n

You can understand the historical shift over time \u2014 the distance between patient base and practice increasing as people move \u2014 but, you need to make sure the bulk of your patients are coming from nearby. Everyone is strapped for time, and patients are no different. They want convenience; so, if your practice is close to home, that might mean the difference between keeping them with you versus them hopping to your competitor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Determine How to Get New Patients<\/h3>\n

\"\"Knowing how to use the information of your patients\u2019 locations can help grow your dental practice. You can tie this data into your marketing efforts! Just hone in on five to six zip codes near your practice, and you can increase your community and business outreach focuses to ramp up referrals. Get connected to patients (both existing and potential) through endeavors like sponsoring a Little League team or collaborating with organizations like neighborhood associations or civic clubs. By working with patients out and about in the community, they will develop a rapport and familiarity with you, both of which are important to building a dentist-patient relationship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Shape Your Paid Marketing Efforts<\/h3>\n

\"\"When you think of your money spent on paid marketing, you can use this information on patients\u2019 locations to get the most out of your funds. So, for your direct mail campaign, if you send 5,000 pieces of direct mail a month but 2,000 of those don\u2019t reach patients within the designated five to six zip codes, you\u2019re throwing away about $2,200 a month! It\u2019s literally money wasted if you don\u2019t focus on those patients closest to your practice.<\/p>\n

Or, in the case of Google Ads, you need to look at geography. If you focus your ads on those zip codes, you can make sure the patients clicking and linking to your site are the ones you want to capture \u2014 the patients closest to you. Remember, there is a geographic component of paid search, which makes it worth it to map to those patients closest to you.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re thinking of ways to capture new patients, just remember to take Google\u2019s word for it. The single biggest feature in their algorithm is geography. You need to be focusing your efforts on the patients most likely to come to you, and those are the ones closest to you. Google will provide relevant searches near the practice, so take advantage of that!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
