Ten years ago, a sane person would never consider choosing a dentist or a physician without a direct referral. No one can deny the awesome power of word of mouth \u2013 a very personal recommendation from one friend to another \u2013 a value affirmation of a product or a service. But in this day and age, you can\u2019t overlook the power of “word of mouse.”<\/p>\n

I recently had sinus surgery, and I chose the doctor completely from an internet search \u2013 and then confirmed my choice by reading what others had to say about their experience. Statistics show that positive online reviews will help your business. More reviews provide a listing that stands out for the right reasons when somebody is doing a search for a dentist in your area. \u00a0And Google is the king<\/a> \u2013 the number one ranked website in the world \u2013 the number one place for people to search \u2013 the most trusted resource for quality information.<\/p>\n

Now that you know how to accumulate Google reviews<\/a>, I am suggesting that you can show these reviews easily on your website. Check out what I have added to my site<\/a>. On the left hand side of the magenta colored navigation bar, my webmaster installed a Google review button. This links directly to my Google Place Page and in one click, someone can read all of my reviews.<\/p>\n

This linkage is an easy and attractive strategy \u2013 another piece of the puzzle for your overall on line approach to marketing. It has the additional benefit of helping improve website optimization and organic discovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
