Everything Dentists Need to Know About SEO and Link Building
For most dental practices, SEO is a foreign subject. It’s complex, technical, and unfamiliar. What are ranking factors and meta descriptions, anyway? Perhaps you can relate? While you’ve been told that SEO is important, it’s not a topic that you covered in dental school (or even one that’s discussed much at industry conferences and events). So you’re left asking, “Why does my dental practice need SEO?”
We could walk you through some technical explanation of why SEO is so important and how it satisfies Google’s algorithmic expectations and the whole nine yards, but we’ll save you from the boredom of a methodical exposé. Instead, let’s strip the subject down to the basics and provide a practical look at why your dental practice needs SEO.

Improve Your Dental Website's Visibility with SEO
The importance of SEO comes down to visibility and accessibility. If you want your dental practice to consistently earn new patient leads in the digital age, you can’t ignore the supreme importance of SEO.
Think about it this way: When your patients look for a dentist, what do they do? Some ask friends and family members for recommendations. Others see a sign or billboard on the side of the road. But the majority of people – particularly millennials – grab a smartphone, tablet, or laptop and pull up their internet browser. They type in something like “best dentist near me” or “dentists in [city name].” From there, Google spits out a bunch of results. When your dental practice ranks high in the search engine results pages, you have endless potential to generate new patients when users click on your web pages.
While Google does allow dentists to purchase prime real estate in the search engines in the form of pay-per-click (PPC) advertisements, roughly 94 percent of clicks go to natural search – i.e. organic search results that Google populates its pages with based on relevancy and prominence.
Assuming your dental website is properly indexed, your web pages will show up in relevant search results. The problem is that they’ll likely be way down on the list. And if you want to generate any meaningful traction, you need to be at the top of the first page of results for relevant keywords.
Research shows that roughly 33 percent of clicks go to the URL in the first position in Google's search results. The second position gets roughly 15 percent of clicks, while 9 percent go to the third position. In all, somewhere around 75 percent of all clicks go to the first page of search results. In other words, if your dental practice isn’t showing up on the first page of Google, you’re missing out on the opportunity to generate new leads that are essentially potential patients.

The Prominent Role of Link Building in Modern SEO
Link building is one of the most important elements in the SEO process. If you’re looking for a way to jumpstart your dental practice’s SEO, this is the place to start.
Link building has changed a lot over the years. What was once a spammy practice that involved plugging as many URLs into as many places as possible has evolved into a systematic and refined strategy that uses high-quality content to earn backlinks and organically generate clicks.
But practically speaking, how does link building benefit dentists? Well, consider that it leads to:
Google and other search engines work by using math & artificial intelligence. Our method for building links ensures we are solving the math equation while avoiding black hat strategies so you can rank for national and local terms.

1. Generate Quality Content
At the heart of successful link building, you’ll find high-quality content. And without content, it’s nearly impossible to facilitate any meaningful results. Think about it this way. When you find good content in Google's search results, that content generally links to other good content. People with outstanding content won't risk losing visitors by linking to poorly created content. If you want backlinks you need good content. People need a reason to link to you.
Think of content as your currency in the link building process. If you don’t have any content, it’s impossible to garner backlinks. And if you don’t have the right content, you won’t generate links of any value or substance.
High-quality content is useful and engaging to the reader. Things like how-to blog posts, interactive tools, research reports, data summaries, case studies, videos, graphics, and long-form posts on relevant topics all perform well.
Before doing anything else, work on building up an arsenal of quality content that you can peddle to bloggers, journalists, and publishers in the coming months.
2. Seek Out Linking Opportunities
With quality content in hand, you can explore linking opportunities.
This may look like asking a journalist to link to one of your posts on a relevant topic.
It could also look like writing a guest post for an industry blog or publication and then gaining permission to insert a backlink into the post.
Or perhaps you could go on a podcast and serve as an expert on a healthcare or dental topic – earning promotional backlinks in the process.
There are plenty of opportunities – it’s just a matter of choosing the right ones.
3. Attract Organic Links
Early on, your link building strategy will be entirely manual and hands-on. But as you generate more content and start earning exposure, you’ll notice that you attract organic links without doing anything. You can keep track of these by using a listening tool that notifies you when your brand is mentioned (or when one of your URLs is sourced).
