In this episode of the Nifty Thrifty Podcast, Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Ron J. Fortier—the Director of Production/SEO at Doctor Genius—to discuss the importance of Dental SEO and how it can help practices grow their patient base. With years of experience in automotive SEO under his belt, Ron is here to share his wealth of knowledge and provide actionable insights on how to optimize your dental website for search engines and effectively reach potential patients. From understanding the unique nature of healthcare searches to implementing comprehensive content strategies, Ron covers it all. Key Highlights: Dental SEO is unique and requires a deep understanding of the business and the target audience. It differs from other industries like automotive or e-commerce due to the immediate need and lean-forward nature of healthcare searches. Content is king when it comes to SEO. Doctor Genius deploys around 150-170 pages for a standard dental website, covering various services and procedures. This comprehensive approach helps practices rank for a wide range of keywords and search queries. Regularly updating and adding new content to the website is crucial. Google rewards effort, so consistently posting blog articles and refreshing pages can significantly improve search rankings over time. Doctor Genius employs a 130-page style guide to ensure their content is well-structured, engaging, and optimized for different types of readers (e.g., paragraph readers, quote skimmers, headline readers, etc.). Setting realistic expectations is essential. Climbing search rankings takes time and consistent effort. It's not a light switch, but with the right strategy and implementation, practices can gradually improve their visibility and attract more patients. Common SEO myths debunked: The length of URL registration and the age of a domain have little to no impact on search rankings. However, the length and quality of blog posts do matter—aim for at least 500 words and provide in-depth, valuable content.

NOTES:     This week, Dr. Glenn Vo finally got Dylan Brockman—CEO of Brockman Health—to take a break from hooking the Nifty Thrifty community up with affordable healthcare and sit down for another episode of the Nifty Thrifty podcast.  Dylan's team consists of experienced agents with an honest, transparent, and educational approach. They're dedicated to providing innovative health and life insurance solutions for self-employed individuals, families, small business owners, and contract workers.One of the big reasons why Dylan wanted to hop onto the podcast was to talk about the window for open enrollment—from November 1st to December 15th—and bring awareness to practice owners about the importance of taking advantage.  For those unfamiliar with open enrollment, it's a six-week window when insurance companies open their gates to accept anybody and everybody. That's a big deal because very few companies allow folks to suddenly jump on their plans—and the ones that do allow that will usually require you to have some “special life event” going on.  If you miss the open enrollment period, all is not lost—you still have options, and sometimes there are even extensions. That said, the remaining options might come with the risk of overpaying or being left undercovered (Dylan even refers to these as “Swiss cheese” plans because of their holes and gaps).Believe it or not, Dylan's services are “free.” He has contracts with the insurance companies, and that's how he's compensated. There's no nickel-and-diming involved—it's completely free for Dylan's customers to use his services—and he gets the same compensation no matter the company he works with.  A free consultation with Dylan just takes a concise, 5-10 minute phone call. In that short amount of time, Dylan can gain a thorough understanding of your budget and specific needs—whether related to therapy, doctor visits, specialists, or specific medications—before presenting you with multiple options to compare, contrast, and figure out what works best for your unique situation. Dylan knows what it's like to be a small business owner. Prior to getting a start in the insurance industry, he was an entrepreneur himself. He ran into the same problems, struggling to find a way to offer health insurance benefits that would fit into his budget.    He was stuck between two disparate options. One option was a costly plan that made a lot of sense. The other option was an affordable plan that offered high deductibles, crazy amounts of barriers to entry before getting benefits, and so on.   Dylan thinks a big reason so many practice owners run into this problem is that they simply don't know where to find the right programs. He believes that “there are a lot of options out there for you so long as you know where to look.”    For the past five years, Dylan has been doing just that—helping people (self-employed people, small business owners, families, etc.)—with finding affordable healthcare. ●      Learn about: ○      What's the open enrollment period, and why should practice owners take advantage of it if they're considering offering health insurance for their team? ]○      And more! ●      Tune in to watch Glenn go through a screen share presentation where he scrolls through Dylan's website and highlights what he can do for you. There's no harm in at least reaching out; email Dylan at BrockmanHealth@gmail.com or call him at 1-954-243-5893!   NIFTY DEAL:   ●      Free review of current health insurance plan and situation. Consultation will determine if the current health plan is best for their situation or if there are better alternatives.

I'm stoked to bring you another exciting Nifty Thrifty Dentists podcast episode. This time, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sean Birney, the Vice President of Marketing at Masterlink, a company that many of my fellow dentists know for their incredible Apex Dental Sensors.

The slim design with sensor plates measuring only 5.3mm and beveled corners ensures comfort during use, setting them apart in terms of quality and user experience. And I'll be the first to say that the customer support at Masterlink is top-notch—Sean emphasizes the importance of swiftly and effectively resolving client issues and prioritizing customer satisfaction. Also, the Apex Dental Sensors come with a SensorCare Protection Plan, safeguarding against defects for up to five sensors per office. There are two plans: Basic Sensor Care for $495/year (50% off the retail price for replacement sensors) and Sensor Care Plus for $895/year (your first replacement sensor is free). That's a value you won't find elsewhere. Another standout feature of Apex Dental Sensors is their waterproof and dustproof design. With an IP67 rating, these sensors can be immersed in disinfecting liquid without any worries about damage. That's innovation meeting practicality right there.
