Get ❤️ Social With Your Patients!

In these fast moving times its hard to know whether you should be tick tocking, facebooking, tweeting or Instagramming! Don’t be confused by the terminology or many experts out there, who will promise to make you ‘go viral’ or become an ‘Influencer’ for your industry. These platforms are just methods of communication, most of them broadly similar, on which your patients have accounts.

These ads are bought by businesses just like yours, to reach out to local patients who are searching for dental services on the Facebook platform.

We can help you properly set up your Facebook page, with the right size cover image, logo and business information.

We can teach you how to respond to standard queries, turn enquires into appointments and structure your messages throughout the year to coincide with your busy and quiet times.
