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.

Through trial and error, the folks at Dental Implant Machine have realized how to engage with patients, present financing options, and help them make the right health decision without being “pushy.”Hint: It has something to do with their personalized dental marketing funnels!Jacob and his team believe that anyone involved in the patient journey is, in one way or another, involved in helping the patient make the decision to accept treatment. That's why—monthly—they'll meet with the doctor, the treatment coordinator, the scheduler, etc., to look at the numbers and ensure that everyone is doing their best job, has the framework down, the necessary training, and so on.Learn about…What comprehensive framework does Dental Implant Machine offer dental practice owners for finding, educating, and treating more implant patients?Getting the patients into your office is one thing, but what do you do once you successfully get them into your office?Why is it so important to have a team that knows the art of case presentation?How do the folks at Dental Implant Machine leverage metrics and numbers to help their clients close more cases?According to Jacob, how does the patient journey start before they actually walk into the door?Why does Glenn find it so important that the folks at Dental Implant Machine actually care about your conversion rates vs. just sending you leads?Why does Glenn think Dental Implant Machine's lack of a “non-disparagement clause” clearly shows how much they overdeliver, create a great ROI for dental practices, etc.?Hint: It has something to do with hard proof of happy clientele!How can Dental Implant Machine help any “normal” doctor make an extra $1,000,000 and over in production (and what do we mean by “normal” doctors)?What's a marketing funnel, how does it work, and how does Dental Implant Machine help busy dentists double their dental patients using dental funnels?
