5 Benefits to a Healthgrades Premium Profile

Posted on 7/3/2017 by Wendy Hensley, Marketing Manager

Healthgrades has quickly become the foremost healthcare directory in the United States. With nearly 2 million site visitors per month searching for dentists on the site, having a premium profile is your direct line to reach those patients ahead of your competition.
Here are a few things to consider regarding premium profiles:

1) Premium Profiles get more views and calls

Healthgrades Premium Profiles usually appear near the top in Google search results. That means when someone searches for dentists near them, they are far more likely to find your practice first. With a more complete listing (see #4), the chances of your listing being clicked on first increase over 300%!

With more clicks come more calls. The average Healthgrades Premium Profile receives 9 calls per month. That's 9 potential patients calling your practice to schedule an appointment.

In fact, one study found that 64% of people who visit a profile page make an appointment within one week!

2) Premium Profiles don't have ads

Free profile pages on Healthgrades have ads on the top and sides of the page. These ads pull from Google and are directly related to your search history and online behavior. Although not direct competition, these ads are distracting and can lead potential patients down another path and away from your office.

3) Premium Profiles don't display links to competitor profiles

One of the most important features of the Premium Pages is that they don't include links to other dentists/specialists in the area. Regular pages have a listing of competitive dentists at the bottom of the profile page which leads patients directly to your competition where they will find more completely filled out profile pages.

4) Premium Profiles have more pictures and videos

Adding photos and video to your profile page allows you to further brand your practice. You can add photos of your location, videos of the doctor, photos of the staff, and more. These elements greatly impact your new patient lead conversion.

5) Highly qualified patients

Visitors to Healthgrades are at the bottom of the purchase funnel which means they are ready to select a provider. 66% of the site visitors are female and are the medical decision makers in the family. 76% of them are commercially insured and 57% of them have a household income of more than $75K/year. These are great patients.

Scheduling

Along with the basics, we also offer a wide-variety of additional marketing services. Some of these services include:

•	Credit Card Processing: We have partnered with an online credit card processing company to help your patients pay through your website. Our partnership also helps you save money with lower rates and transaction fees.
•	Dental Practice Photography: Custom photography can help potential patients feel connected to your practice before their first appointment. If you need an experienced photographer to update your online photos, our team is here to help!
•	Patient Education Videos: What's the best way to make sure a patient follows through on treatment recommendations? Make sure they have the information they need to understand the benefits of dental treatments offered by your practice.
•	Direct Mail Campaigns: Believe it or not, direct mail campaigns are still a powerful promotional tool, especially for people that have just moved to your area. If you want to target this demographic, we can design a custom campaign tailored to your office and brand.
•	Email Based Newsletter for Patients: An electronic newsletter is one of the best ways to stay in touch with your current patients. We want to avoid the old adage, “out of sight, out of mind.” Staying visible with a newsletter can lead to more scheduled appointments and better patient loyalty.
•	Email Hosting: We offer email hosting to ensure your business email matches your website domain. A matching domain and email address is much more professional that using Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail.
•	Facebook Ads: Due to Facebook’s popularity, paid ads can be a fruitful way to generate new patients leads. Facebook ads are also unique in that they allow us to target your key demographic (with laser focus) based on age, gender, geographic location, relationship status, “likes,” education, job title, and other aspects.
•	Logo, Design, and Branding Services: Your logo and brand may be more important than you think. Talk with our design team to learn more about your possible options, whether you need a new logo or want to update an existing one.
•	Online Bill Pay: Much like our credit card processing, online bill pay makes it easier for your patients to pay for their treatments, especially if they need a payment program. We use the latest software and security measures to ensure a seamless billing process.
•	Patient Forms (Fillable PDF): A fillable PDF makes it easier for your patient to complete their paperwork before their first visit. This reduces your set-up time, allowing you to see more patients throughout the day.
•	Patient Forms (Secure Online): Secure online forms cut paperwork out altogether, meaning your staff will not have to waste time transferring the data to your computer system. It is also a more environmentally-friendly option, a nice selling point for patients that want to keep it green!
