Everyone in your community needs a dentist.

Did you know that small businesses, like your dental practice, actually see more benefits from using social media than large businesses with big budgets? That is because social media marketing success depends not on how many followers you have, but instead on the amount of engagement your posts generate. Dental practices tend to be community-focused, which means it is much easier for your dental practice to be authentic and connect with local people online. Many people use social media as a place to ask for advice and recommendations on services and products. If your dental practice has an active voice online, you’ll be a part of those conversations too.

How do dentists advertise? Does social media marketing work?

Dentists across the country are discovering the power of social media, and they are not disappointed in the results. After all, 77% of prospective patients do their research through search engines online, and 44% of patients searching on a mobile device end up scheduling an appointment.

Because of its ever-increasing possibilities, social media is quickly becoming the most useful tool available to dentists. Practices that have a solid social media strategy in place are witnessing increased reach to new patients and improved appointment numbers. Dental social media marketing is ultimately helping practices meet their bottom line. The good news is that it has never been easier to connect with patients and build a reputation online.

As a local dentist, you can easily foster connections with local individuals using social media. Social media is excellent for small businesses like dental practices because social posts get shown to a high number of local users. It’s designed as a platform for self-promotion and gives you the ability to reach and connect with new patients. Not only is social media marketing the absolute best way to reach new patients and improve relationships through communication and engagement, but it is also the most useful tool dentists can use to ease the fear that many people feel when they face the possibility of visiting the dentist.

Your potential patients get a glimpse of your practice culture and the kind of experience they will have in your practice right on your social pages. Dental social media marketing provides a way for you to make your patients feel welcome and comfortable before they take one step into your practice. Through sharing light-hearted, fun, engaging content, you let patients know that they are in good hands.

By posting pictures, you are giving your practice an online personality, which eliminates scary “visiting the dentist” stigma for nervous patients. Remember: you are selling the good experience people will have in your practice, not your clinical care. Your dental social media pages are not a medical journal. Although great clinical care is important, your patients are more interested in finding a trustworthy, compassionate dentist that they feel comfortable with.

Attracting and retaining new dental patients is about trust and relationships. Social media is the place to show your community that you care about people, not just teeth.

What does My Social Practice do to help dental practices?

We know dental social media because, well, we created it. In the early days of social media, My Social Practice saw that every strategy for building a successful business was going to drastically change in the wake of the social media revolution. We became laser-focused on mastering the capabilities of social media marketing for dental, orthodontic, and specialty practices.

We wanted to create a service that would be just as effective as hiring a social media marketing specialist but easy enough for dental professionals to do themselves, right in their practice, without breaking the bank. Why did we choose to focus on dental practices? Because few businesses have the type of personal, intimate relationships that dentists and orthodontists have with their patients. We know that effective social media strategy excels at leveraging those relationships to transform and grow a business.

The dental industry is projected to reach $35.7 billion by 2023. That is a lot of opportunity for your team, practice, and family. If your practice wants a sound portion of that profit, you need a dental-specific social media marketing plan.

It cannot be overstated how significant social media content is to the success of your practice, and the value of social media marketing to dental practices is only growing. The trouble is, not many practices have the time or resources to hire a full-time social media specialist. That’s where we can help.

Over ten years of trial and error, we’ve packaged everything our experts understand about dental social media marketing into a seriously powerful solution for dental practices. My Social Practice won’t stop until your dental practice establishes a dominant presence on social media in your community. By sharing loyalty-building patient experiences, using organic online word-of-mouth marketing, and tailoring our tactics to fit your specific objectives, My Social Practice will help your practice outshine your competitors and reach your goals.

Should you hire a marketing expert or do it yourself?

Our pro-managed package takes social media marketing completely off your already full plate. Everything from posting new photos to engaging with users and responding to comments is handled by your personal social media manager. Your manager is an expert on how dentists are using social media to attract new patients, what to post on a dental Facebook page to get attention, how to make Instagram content for dentists, and more. They will plan, strategize, and report on your social media efforts so you can focus all of your attention on your practice and patients.

You can rest assured that your manager is sharing photos, creating opportunities for engagement, and carrying out a plan for your Facebook and Instagram marketing. You can also rely on your manager to advertise your practice by promoting selected posts and running regular social media giveaways on your page to reach more people. The pro-managed package allows you to build an awesome online presence, whether your busy schedule allows you to stay engaged or not. You can participate as little or as much as you like.

If you are more of a DIY person, My Social Practice’s self-managed social media package equips you with the resources and coaching your dental practice needs to be successful while allowing YOU to choose what you post, when you post, and your level of engagement with your fans online. Fill your dental Facebook and Instagram pages with creative, out-of-the-box posts in just a few clicks. Never again ask “What should I post on my dental Facebook page?” or “How do dentists use Instagram?” Let My Social Practice develop creative post ideas and a solid marketing plan while you stick to what you love: dentistry.

Your personal social media consultant will help you set effective goals, give you marketing strategies and ideas, train you on your social media platform’s best practices, and provide your team with continual direction. With My Social Practice’s self-managed package, we hand YOU the reins while supporting you every step of the way.

To keep the engaging social media ideas flowing, we ship you a box full of props, signs, and instructions to create two months of lively in-practice social media content in a snap. We’ve discussed how patients think more about how comfortable they are with you and your team than they do about anything else. When potential patients check out your practice on Facebook or Instagram, your posts should show your practice is friendly and inviting.

By posting fun and engaging content online, you boost retention and keep top-of-mind awareness. Our clients report increases of up to 30% in their new patient intake since starting to utilize social media. The materials we send you are specifically designed to celebrate your patients, introduce your team, showcase your practice culture, and ultimately bring in new dental patients. Everything that comes in your box is directed toward building trust and relationships with current and potential patients online.

Over ten+ years in the dental marketing industry, My Social Practice has developed the ideal hub for busy dental practices looking to make waves online. As a client, you’ll have your own dental marketing app and website. Our engineers have made it incredibly easy to use and personalize. Your app and member site are packed with example posts of what’s working for other real dental practices, a massive library of dental social media posts, calendars to schedule content and stay organized, and of course endless tips and tricks from our dental marketing experts. Your hub will be regularly updated with trending ideas, content, and instructions.

Why work with My Social Practice?

Dentists have found it so easy to work with My Social Practice because unlike traditional marketing agencies, we concentrate on the dental industry and the dental industry only.

You won’t need to explain the significant importance of HIPAA or why some days you just get too busy to even give a single thought to social media. We get it, we know what dental professionals’ lives look like in a busy practice. We also acknowledge that the purpose of dental social media marketing is more than just a fun addition to the practice. We understand that your marketing efforts need to increase your bottom line, and we’re here to help. Check out what dental practices have to say about us here.

What happens when I request a demo from My Social Practice?

When you fill out a demo request form or contact form on our website, a dental marketing expert will reach out to you on your contact phone number and email within two business days. Our experts will reach out to schedule a time to talk with you about your dental marketing needs. Don’t worry, your private information is kept on a secure server. We never share any of our data with third parties.

The purpose of a demo call with a My Social Practice marketing specialist is to discuss your particular marketing goals and where we can help you achieve those goals. Our experts analyze your practice to identify weak areas that we can help improve, and also to see where we can best leverage your strengths. My Social Practice will tailor a personalized dental marketing strategy based on your practice size, patient needs, personality, staff, and location. We want to know everything we can about your practice to create the best possible course of action.

How much should I pay for dental social media marketing?

On the low-cost end, many patient management services offer “social media” as a bonus or add-on. This type of marketing typically consists of a pre-made image posted automatically once or twice a week to your Facebook page. While this is certainty cheap, we’ve seen dental practices social media pages flounder with this type of impersonal, auto-posted content. Unfortunately, this is how many dentists use Facebook, with no successful results.

These kinds of posts are uninteresting, and they do not allow you to create an online personality for your practice or spark an engaging connection with your patients. Stock images and infographics have a place on social media, but if that type of content clutters your page, it ends up looking like spam. Remember, the purpose of social media is to be social!

On the other end of the marketing scale, you can hire a marketing agency to design and develop custom content and ad campaigns for your practice’s social media pages and website. The problem for small businesses like a dental practice is that the cost of hiring a full-scale advertising agency can easily cross into several thousand dollars every month. For most, this solution is not realistic.

Our exclusive focus on helping dental practices has allowed us to provide smooth, innovative dental marketing services at a low cost. Depending on your practice needs (Do you need a new, modern dental website? Do you need more Google reviews?) and growth goals, the cost of your unique dental marketing package will fall somewhere in the middle of the scale.

Chat with us and get set up with what your dental practice needs — no fluff or extras, just a custom marketing plan that fits your practice. My Social Practice offers the most valuable, out-of-the-box dental social media marketing solution on the planet. That’s it. That’s all we do.

In this article, you’ll discover a checklist for onboarding new clients so you have what you need to manage their social media marketing effectively.

Why a Social Media Marketing Onboarding Process Is Important

Whether you’re a social media marketing consultant or agency taking on a new client, or a business that’s outsourcing your social media marketing, the proper transfer of assets and key information about how online marketing should be handled is a necessity.

There will be questions about brand boards, logos, colors, images, brand voice, what to talk about (and not talk about) online, and how personal the content can be. Every business is different and a cookie-cutter approach to social media marketing won’t work.

Onboarding is the time to address questions and concerns and ensure the client understands the services available. It can also be the most time-consuming part of the relationship because you’re just getting to know your new client. You’re learning about their products or services, goals, brand, and brand voice, not to mention requesting access to all of their social media accounts, logins, and tools they might already be using.

If your client onboarding process isn’t ironed out, there might be a lot of kinks in the process that

can irritate your new client (and you) before you even start.

Time Is Valuable

How much time do you spend with a client in the first month, going back and forth to gather assets? I’m sure at some point you’ve worked with a disorganized client who kept forgetting things and continuously came back to you asking for more info.

Without a proper process in place, you’re going to spend a lot of time asking yourself, “What’s next?” It doesn’t matter how often you’ve done a series of tasks, there will be a moment this question comes up. Believe it or not, this little niggling question can waste a lot of your time.

And if you don’t believe me, let’s do a test. Next time you perform a series of tasks that you’ve done multiple times before, track your time. Then write down your process—a simple piece of paper will do—and run through the tasks again. Let me know in the comments how much time it saved you to write that process down (allowing you to simply look up what’s next) or how much time you saved by not having to go back and ask your client for yet another login.

Now imagine laying out your client onboarding process. You’ll know exactly what you need to ask your clients for, which assets you need to get from them, and what questions to ask to get in their heads and be able to successfully manage their social media presence.

Think about the pride you’ll feel when after just a few days, you have everything you need and your clients can focus again on what they do best: running their business.

Pro Tip: If you’d like to learn more about how to build an onboarding process that turns clients into raving fans, I recommend giving Never Lose a Customer Again by Joye Coleman a read.

#1: Divide Onboarding Questions Into 3 Categories

When building your onboarding process, pay attention to timing and quantity. You don’t want to overwhelm your clients with a 30-page workbook because they’ll end up not taking any action and you won’t get you the information you need.

Instead, build your onboarding process in a way that’s easily digestible for your clients. I recommend having three categories/stages:

This three-stage approach will help you keep the questions concise so they’re easy for your clients to answer. You don’t want clients having to switch constantly from one thought pattern to another, like colors and images one minute, then logins and URLs the next. That requires too much brainpower and is exhausting.

Pro Tip: Before requesting all of this information from your clients, consider giving them a visual roadmap that shows them what’s going to happen, what emails they’re going to get, and what their part is going to be in all of this.

If you’re interested in a deep dive about how to avoid exhausting your client’s brainpower, check out Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller. If clients have to think too much about something, they won’t do it or act on it. Keep it simple and clear.

#2: Collect Brand Info and Assets

Collecting brand info and assets is the first stage of information sharing. The details are straightforward and easy for your clients to complete.

#3: Request, Grant, and Confirm Access to Social Media Accounts

In the second stage of onboarding, security is key. You’ll want a secure way to manage and store this information. Adhere to best practices when it comes to account access. You can use something as simple as TweetDeck to share access to a Twitter account or Facebook Business Manager to manage access to business pages, groups, or ad accounts.

Here’s what you’ll need from the client:

#4: Establish Conversational Tone and Topical Guidelines

In the third stage of onboarding, things get a bit more nuanced. The information you gather here will guide everything from the customer journey to the business’s customer-facing interactions online. Here are some questions to ask your client to get the information you need:

Pro Tip: Follow up monthly to ensure you have up-to-date information about what’s going on in your client’s business. And make sure you set expectations early.

Once you have the first three categories of information in hand, you’ll want to develop a monthly content approval process to ensure both you and your client are on the same page about the posts you’ll publish on social media. An email similar to the one below will be helpful:

This is the process we will use each month for creating and approving your content. Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like changed!

Please provide any important dates, key topics to discuss, and other essential information by the 10th of each month via the questionnaire you’ll receive. If no particular events are happening, that’s fine!

We’ll provide the first draft of content via [insert your preferred tools] by the 15th of each month. Please ensure you send your important dates with enough lead time for us to produce content—the earlier the better!

Please send any feedback/modifications you have for us via comments in [insert your preferred tools] at your earliest convenience. If you could send them no later than the 25th of each month, that would be fantastic!

Once the month is finalized, we will confirm and schedule your posts.

And simply send them a monthly refresher questionnaire that asks:

Anything specific you’d like to promote this month?

Do you have any events, sales, or launches coming up?

Anything to add to our “off-limits” list?

Anything else we should know?

Tools to Simplify Social Media Marketing Onboarding

Starting your onboarding process could be as simple as sending your client a fillable PDF. However, because many people have trouble filling out PDFs and saving them without losing their entries, I recommend moving to an online setup as soon as possible.

Often the easiest for the client and most cost-effective for you are online forms. Tools like Gravity Forms (plans start at $59/year) or any other form builder (one potentially already came with your theme) allow you to build custom forms on your website. This way, rather than building PDFs, you can build your questionnaires right on your website and get your client’s submission via email.

As mentioned above, for account access, make sure you use a secure way to manage and store the information.

Another way to handle the onboarding process on a budget is by using Airtable (free and paid plans, starting at $12/user/month). Airtable allows you to build forms connected to one of your spreadsheets and your clients can even upload files via that channel too.

Here’s an example of a submission form created in Airtable:

When you’re ready to automate this process, look into a tool like Dubsado (free and paid plans, starting at $35/month) or HoneyBook ($40/month). Both of these tools allow you to build forms that can be used in a workflow. An automated onboarding process might look something like this:

This entire process takes place automatically without you having to do anything after adding the client to the workflow.

Here’s what a similar workflow might look like in Dubsado:

Pro Tip: When you get to the point of automating the onboarding process, don’t lose your personality. Make it fun, add GIFs, and keep it conversational.

Streamlining and automating your client onboarding process will not only free up your calendar but also make a great impression on your new client.

Do you want to have an actual relationship with the customers? Advertising through channels that are social and keeping it simplistic are the keys to driving sales. Saying “Hello” is a great way to begin a relationship with your customers. The customers will respond and you can go from there.

If you are using social media as part of your marketing strategy, be sure to answer people when they make a comment or ask you a question. Be sure to check for comments and questions at least once a day. They’re easy to miss, so you have to be vigilant.

If you want to increase your following and your reach, you should try to branch out and post on other people’s blogs or even allow guest bloggers on your own site. Either way, readership will increase. When you post on someone else’s blog, make sure you include a back link to your site. Likewise, allow your guest blogger to do the same. People who read the blog are more apt to check out your posts and your sites, too.

Allow your customers to follow you on a variety of social networks. Many individuals these days incorporate social media into their lifestyle, so allowing them easy access to your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profile is a surefire method of letting them have your content delivered to them when you post.

Interact with your customers whenever you can. If you have something relevant to say on their Facebook statuses or other posts, go for it. Don’t promote yourself on their personal posts, though. You should only mention products and services when they are truly relevant to a topic.

Make sure to use all of your social media connections, when posting to YouTube, also add buttons for Facebook and Twitter to maximize your efforts. When you have YouTube users following you on Twitter or Facebook, they will probably share your videos with all their friends.

Even though social media sites have altered the communication landscape, remaining professional is still a great behavioral habit. Make your introduction personal, but professional at the same time. Avoid responding to negative or argumentative posts and delete posts and comments you find offensive. Also, consider establishing a separate profile in your own name, so you can interact online with your friends.

Social networking sites can be a great place to advertise your special offers. Something like a buy-one-get-one offer, a 50% discount, or even a prize drawing can bring people to your site in droves. Social media needs to be seen as a chance for customers to receive more information about you and to be more involved with you and your brand and products.

Your website should always be linked together with any social media profile. You can do this by adding “share” buttons for your visitors to easily share your website and content on their own social networking profiles. Include those buttons anywhere you can think of, so people can always share your information.

Using social media marketing may be tough at first, but it’s important that you stick with it. Once you start gaining new followers and a good reputation, your success will become more apparent. Instead of analyzing your results after a month, wait a year to determine your overall progression.
