info_outlineWe all know, getting on the front page of Google or Bing can have a huge impact on your business, especially when it comes to getting more patients in the chair.
But how exactly can you improve your practices SEO? That’s not quite as clear.
With no shortage of SEO advice and grand promises from shady marketers, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction with regard to SEO.
Which is why I always love talking with marketers and SEO experts who have the results to show.
Justin Morgan is one of those experts. He’s the founder and CEO of Dental Marketing Guy and has helped hundreds of dental practice owners improve their SEO.
If you’re active on DentalTown or any of the other popular dentist Facebook you’ve likely seen him adding value and engaging with the community.
Justin doesn’t just share a bunch of theory of what works, he has the clients and testimonials to back it up.
I think you’ll find Justin’s approach to SEO easy to understand and very actionable.
