No Website for the Dentist!

I visited the dentist a few weeks ago, for my six month check up. A couple of days before the visit, I wanted to call the dentist and ask a question, so I "googled" the dental practice name.......and.....NOTHING CAME UP! My dentist didn't have a website!

I decided my question could wait for the visit. As I was escorted to the designated area to have my teeth cleaned, I passed my dentist, staring in the computer screen. He looked up, briefly, to say "good morning!"

Teeth cleaned, and next appointment scheduled, my dentist dropped in to discuss my visit. I mentioned I was heading to the new shoe store, next to the mall, but forgot the exact address. He offered to look it up on his computer for me.

I asked why he doesn't have a website and he said "I don't really need one- do I?" I just smiled, as I walked back to my car- leaving him to gaze at his computer.

Do you need a website? YES YES YES!

Did you know that 80% of buyers search online before making a decision and
98% of customers make a decision based on who is located on the first page of Google?

98% of your customers make a decision about using you (which dentist to choose, which shoe store to go to, etc.) by looking online.

Get a website- TODAY!
