Too often, dental practices don't realize that they are missing critical elements of their marketing or that their well-intentioned efforts have caused self-inflicted marketing wounds. 

Perhaps the most common mistake dentists make is to hire a marketing company and never look at the results. They never analyze anything, look at reporting, and have no idea what return on investment is about.  

The first step to improving your marketing and avoiding common mistakes is understanding your 'why'. Why are you doing marketing? Who are you trying to reach?

Many dentists assume that putting a website up and being aggressive on social media with ads is enough as far as marketing goes. However, this approach lacks planning and an understanding of your target audience. Yet it's not only about knowing your target audience but also about what type of marketing strategy will work best for that specific target audience.

As you can see, online dental marketing can be challenging to get right. There are many variables to consider, and without a well-developed marketing strategy, you'll only waste time and money.

So, what is the best way to avoid these common dental marketing mistakes and improve your overall marketing strategies?
