Trivia Question❓

Which principle in consumer behavior suggests that individuals are more likely to trust the collective opinions of a group (e.g., online reviews) than a single personal recommendation?

Answer at the bottom of the newsletter

The Importance of Patient Reviews and Managing Online Reputation

In today’s digital age, online reputation can make or break a dental practice. Potential patients often turn to online reviews to gauge the quality of a practice before deciding to schedule an appointment. As such, managing your practice’s online reputation is crucial to maintaining a strong and trustworthy image.

Positive patient reviews are one of the most powerful marketing tools available. Studies show that nearly 80% of people trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. A collection of glowing reviews not only builds your credibility but also enhances your visibility in search engine results. This can lead to more patient inquiries and increased appointment bookings.

However, managing reviews is not just about collecting positive feedback—it’s about responding to both positive and negative comments. Thanking patients for positive reviews demonstrates appreciation and builds rapport, while addressing negative reviews thoughtfully shows that you care about patient concerns and are committed to improvement. A prompt, professional response to criticism can turn a potentially damaging review into an opportunity to showcase your commitment to excellent care.

Encourage satisfied patients to leave reviews, and make it easy for them by providing links to your review profiles on Google, Yelp, or other relevant platforms. You can also integrate review requests into your follow-up communications or appointment reminders.

By actively managing your online reputation and fostering a positive review culture, you’ll build trust, attract new patients, and maintain a strong standing in an increasingly competitive market.
