Dentist Social Media Advertising

Get better returns from your dental social media advertising.

Paid social media is about more than followers: It’s a marketplace where you can attract new patients.

Questions about dental social media ads?

Get in touch for a strategy consultation.

Connect to your best prospective patients with targeted social media marketing.

Social media advertising is one of the most affordable and effective ways to get new patients for your dental clinic. You can target ads towards specific audiences, such as people within your area. In addition to reaching new clients, social media marketing is a great way to keep up to date with your current customer base. By engaging online with your customers, you can help them remember their dental needs, feature new services, and build a strong local reputation.

At Dagmar Marketing, we’re specialists in social media advertising for dentists. Most dentists and their staff simply don’t have the time and experience to handle digital marketing for their dental practices. Still, dental digital marketing is necessary to compete in local markets. When people need a new dentist, they’re likely to look online for options. Working with Dagmar Marketing frees dentists to focus on running their business while the digital marketing experts focus on growing the business. 

Expand your patient base where your next patients already are.

It’s very likely that the majority of your current patients are on social media. And, your future patients are there, too! Recent statistics show that:

  • Over 360 million new people began using social media in 2018, which translates into a million new people every day.
  • People spend almost 2.5 hours on social networks every day.
  • Nearly 70% of adults in the U.S. use one or more social media sites, with the average U.S. citizen having an impressive seven social media accounts.
  • 88% of 18- to 29-year-old people in the U.S. use social media.

Research & Strategy

At Dagmar Marketing, we believe a strong foundation is essential for a great social media advertising campaign. Before we ever launch a campaign, we take the time to understand your practice and your problems. This includes understanding the services you currently offer, your typical patient, your main competitors, and your strengths.

If you’ve ever tried social media advertising in the past, we’ll want to review that data to understand what worked and what didn’t. This is also the time when our team will align with yours to make sure we’re all working towards the same outcome.

We will discuss and set a budget that matches your goals. We’ll identify the areas you want to focus on and create campaigns to drive those results. Do you want your current patient base to come back more often? Or perhaps you want to attract patients from your competition? Maybe you just want to see an increase in new patients. We will work with you to make a strategic plan for each goal, including a timeline and budget for that goal.

Campaign Setup

Each step in the campaign setup process is carefully analyzed to meet your goals. Most social media advertising platforms perform better for “auction bidding” on advertisements versus set pricing. If not managed correctly, auction bidding can consume your budget without producing the desired results. We set up your campaigns to be at the right price, show up at the right times of the day, and target the right audiences. Additionally, we always create your campaigns under your dental practice’s social media accounts. The benefit of this is that if you ever want to take a look at where your money is going, you can see for yourself.

Creative

The creative elements of your advertisements, such as the copy and design, are just as important as the targeting and optimization of your ad. People’s attention spans are short and if you don’t have ads that are impressive and attention-grabbing, you simply won’t be noticed. Dagmar Marketing takes the time to create thoughtful creative with designs that align with your branding. We look through your current branding, create mock-ups, and offer you final approval on all advertisements. Additionally, we pride ourselves on making mobile-first creative. Mobile accounts for almost half of all worldwide Internet traffic and the projections are that this rate will continue to grow. So, if your creative isn’t displaying correctly on mobile devices, you’re missing out on a segment of new prospective patients. We help your creative stand out and perform well.

Optimization

A lot of attention and effort goes into setting up your campaign—we don’t believe in a “set it and forget it” approach. Online advertising, including social media advertising, is constantly changing. As a result, marketers need to keep up and continuously optimize campaigns. The social media advertising platforms often update and create new features which can make a significant impact on your ads. Additionally, the data from the campaign will start to show meaningful insights after just a few weeks. For example, we might start to learn that your ads receive the highest conversions at 6:00 in the evening when people are stuck in evening traffic. Or, that people in a particular zip code are more likely to click through on your ads. We will monitor your dental social media marketing to find out which approach will get you to your goals faster. Your bids, ads, and landing pages will be updated based on the data we collect.

Analysis & Reporting

This is one of the most important parts of our process. Every month, we are held accountable for the results we get on your behalf and how we’ve spent your budget. Our reporting shows details of what we did, what worked and what didn’t, what our plans are going forward, your return-on-investment (ROI), and more. This keeps us on track and also allows you to know exactly where your investment goes.

Social Media Advertising for Dentists: FAQs

Social Media Advertising for Dentists: FAQs

Can Facebook ads and other types of paid social media ads really get results for a dental practice?

Simply put, the answer is yes—dental Facebook marketing can pay dividends. Your customers spend a lot of time on social media and you can get their attention by being online too! Social media advertising can be used to interact with existing customers, engage with new prospects, promote new dental services, offer discounts, collect online reviews, and build a community relationship. If you’re worried about results from social media advertising remember that a great social media agency will never agree to results they can’t deliver. During your consultation, the experts at Dagmar Marketing will ask what goals you want to achieve with your social advertising efforts. If these goals are not aligned with your budget, we will share our opinion and give you a more realistic perspective on what can be done. Then, leave it up to us to deliver on those promises!

What does a social media advertising agency do?

A social media advertising agency employs experts in the field of social media. These experts know how to leverage social platforms to help companies grow their businesses. These agencies may handle running their clients’ social accounts, including posting content and engaging with followers, running social campaigns, collecting online social reviews, and more. Other agencies may manage only social media ads as part of an overall digital marketing strategy. Ultimately, it’s often up to the client to decide what parts of their social media they would like to outsource to a professional agency.

In either case, the goal is to expose more people to your practice, especially those who are already actively searching for the services that you provide.

How do you run paid social ads for dentists on Facebook?

Facebook has a platform called the Ads Manager that allows users to run advertisements on their site. The process of managing these ads is a lot more complex than most people realize. Daily tasks of running Facebook ads should include running A/B tests, optimizing bidding budgets, updating creative and copy, targeting based on customer profiles, and optimizing the ads to drive more results.

How much do Facebook ads for dentists cost?

There’s no set cost for Facebook advertising—it depends on how much you want to spend on Facebook ads for your dental practice. Ultimately, we will work with you to set a budget that aligns with your goals. Facebook ads operate on a bidding system, so if you’re targeting people who are also being targeted by competitors, your bids will be more expensive. We believe in recommending a customized budget based on your desired outcomes.

How does Twitter advertising work for dental practices?

Similar to Facebook, advertising dental practices on Twitter comes with many options, You can focus on sharing interesting dental content so you become a trusted leader in your space. Or, you can share promotions and pictures from your clinic, so your practice stays top of mind for people. Another approach would be to target parents with information about the importance of oral hygiene in children so they’re reminded to bring their kids into the dental office. Truly, there are so many creative options to choose from!

How much does it cost to promote ads on Twitter?

As is the case with Facebook, the cost of Twitter ads for your dental practice will depend on your goals, your targeting, how long you’re running ads for, and other criteria. We recommend sharing your goals with your social media advertising company, and they will provide a recommendation for what your budget should look like to achieve those goals As they use the platforms every day, they have a better grasp on what current costs are for dental practices.

How much do Pinterest ads cost?

You can promote products on Pinterest in one of two ways. The first being through the Pinterest Ads Manager, which is very similar to other social media ad manager tools. This tool will allow you to set budgets, targeting, and set tracking parameters. This is a very hands-on approach and should only be used by people who intend to monitor the campaign frequently. The other option is a much more straightforward approach. You promote a single Pin in a few steps by choosing your budget, targeting, and a timeline. For dental practices, Pinterest can be a great way to highlight new services or promotions you’re running.

Are LinkedIn ads for dentists worthwhile?

If you’re looking to hire for your clinic, LinkedIn is a great place to run social media ads. Unfortunately, LinkedIn is one of the most expensive social platforms to run ads. This is mostly because LinkedIn gives you access to a highly specialized, professional network. Other social media platforms tend to have much broader audiences.

Do YouTube ads work?

According to Google, people who watch a YouTube ad to completion are 23 times more likely to engage with the brand (visit the channel, subscribe to the channel, share a video, watch other videos from the brand). Ads are successful even for those who don’t want the full advertisement. Those who don’t complete the ad are still 10 times more likely to engage with the brand. If you’re considering YouTube ads for your dental practice, you’ll want to make sure you have the time and resources to regularly produce video ads to get the best return on your investment.

What types of ads could I run on YouTube for my dental practice?

YouTube ads come in various styles. Trueview ads are the most affordable option. These ads appear at the beginning of a video and allow viewers to skip it right away. Advertisers only pay for the spot when the viewer takes an action, the entire ad plays, or the ad plays for at least 30 seconds. Non-skippable ads can be placed at the beginning of a video or in the middle of 10-minute long videos. These ads, as the name implies, cannot be skipped by viewers. Bumper Ads are short (maximum six seconds long) videos that play at the end of YouTube videos. Overlay ads & Display ads are on-video ads that are placed on the viewer’s screen. The type of ad you choose will depend on your goals and budget.

Questions To Ask A Social Media Advertising Company

Questions To Ask A Social Media Advertising Company

Here are several important questions to ask potential providers of dental social media advertising services:

Which social media ad platforms are best for dentists’ offices?

The answer to this question depends on what you’re trying to achieve. When you work with an agency, they should be prepared to help you define your goals, determine which channels provide the best opportunities for you to reach your most desired patient base, and develop a budget that’s appropriate for your resources and objectives.

How often do you provide performance reports to clients?

Some providers of social media advertising services don’t offer their clients much more than top-line numbers. Look for an agency that will give you detailed reports that show how well your social media ad campaigns did in meeting all of your goals. They should also be transparent about just how and where your budget was spent and why.

How much do your dental social media marketing services cost?

Marketing agencies have to charge for two things: the actual work they do and the fees charged by the social platforms. Every agency structures its fees a little differently, depending on the size of the team you need working on your account, how much work you want completed, and more. There’s no right or wrong way to charge for services; the important thing is to make sure you understand the full costs of any potential agency’s services.
