Video Summary

Michael Antosi, a practice growth consultant at MyAdvice, presented a webinar on how dental practices can improve their online marketing and increase long-term revenue. He explained that marketing should not be judged only by past revenue, but by future patient lifetime value, noting that one patient can average about $24,000 over 15 years.<br /><br />He outlined a step-by-step framework for a strong online presence: first, have a modern, conversion-focused website; second, ensure local citation data like name, address, and phone number is accurate and consistent; third, actively generate Google and Facebook reviews; and fourth, maintain a consistent social media presence. Only after these foundations are in place should practices invest heavily in SEO and paid search.<br /><br />Antosi emphasized that websites must look professional, work well on mobile, and make it easy for patients to call or book. He also stressed the importance of answering common patient questions through content, using social media to build trust and connection, and using reviews to influence patient decisions. Overall, his message was that practices should build a solid digital foundation before pursuing advanced marketing tactics.
