If you use a patient reminder system that sends out automated requests for reviews, change the default message to request reviews on these sites. Reviews on public websites are far more valuable than those on your reminder system’s proprietary platform. Implementing these 11 steps will not only increase your visibility and build your brand as a sleep provider, they will also go a long way towards positioning you as the go-to authority for sleep apnea treat- ment in your target market.

After Google, the next largest search engine is YouTube. Cisco estimates that by 2021, 82% of all internet traffic will be video. The practices that embrace video early on will have a significant competitive advan- tage. The doctors who don’t integrate video into their marketing efforts now will be left trying to play catch-up. 11)   Print sleep apnea brochures to place throughout your practice. Include your new logo, tracking phone number, and sleep website address on the brochure. A well-executed brochure will act as a conversation starter, educate patients, and make it easy for them to refer others to you. www.houstondentistrymagazine.com | HOUSTON DENTISTRY 13
