Guest Blog: 8 Simple Ways to Increase Your Website Conversions & Virtual Consultations by DocSites

Smile Snap • June 14, 2023

1. Place Your Virtual Consult Button For All To See


In order to book more virtual consultations it’s vital you place a button and/or a widget on your website that showcases this offering. Be sure this button can be easily seen by website visitors on any single page and is user-friendly across all screen sizes – desktop, tablet and/or mobile devices.

For added personalization, match the colors and photos used in your virtual consult button to match your overall website look and feel.

Consistency builds trust and trust is what helps convert website visitors into booked appointments!

 

2. Embed Positive Google Reviews on Your Site


Reviews have become the most valuable way to communicate the quality of your practice. Everyone is now looking at reviews to make a buying purchase, and dental practices are no different.

Having your reviews highlighted for patients to read can help your office build trust. We recommend having a tab at the top and integrating reviews directly from your Google profile. Showcasing your 5-star reviews can have a stronger impact than just posting testimonials in text.

3. Place Personalized/Recent Photos Throughout The Website


The most common complaint on review sites are not about the treatment, but about the patient experience with staff and doctors. Show prospective patients they will have a great experience with your team by sharing friendly and warm photos of the team.

In certain demographics, patients may care about the advanced technology or having a modern office. Having photos showcasing that can create interest in your practice as well.

4. Create A Page On Your Website Explaining “The Virtual Consultation” Experience


Since virtual consultations are a relatively new experience, many patients will not know what to expect. By creating a page on your website that clearly explains all the steps, you will make it easier for the patient to start their virtual consultation experience.

Be sure to include a clear headline of the benefit and the offering –
i.e. 
“Get A Free Smile Consultation Without Leaving Home!” Bullet points and numbered steps make information easier to digest for the website visitor.

5. Unique Value Propositions and Treatments You Want to be Known For


Just including a list of services or a generic description of your practice is not enough. Your website should also focus on highlighting what is unique about your practice. It could be highlighting how many years your staff has been with the office, the technology your office uses for patient comfort, an in-house membership or financing plan to communicate affordability or that your practice strives to for patients to never wait.

No two dental offices are the same – make sure you use your site to educate the benefits of your practice.

6. Before/After Photos


A great way to grow your bottom line is by promoting and offering restorative and esthetic treatments.



Patients looking to make an appointment may visit the before & after page to get examples of past work that you have done. They may identify with similar issues and call you or inquire about the specific treatment during their appointment. Before & After photos are a great way to create interest in bigger cases, don’t miss out on that with your website.

7. Doctors Bio/Meet Our Team Page


Our data shows us that patients visit the doctor’s biography page often. They are making a decision to put their oral health in your hands so it only makes sense they want to read and learn more about the person proving their care. In addition, they will often be working with your staff, and including staff information can create trust.

Items you may want to add include, your certifications, specialties, and/or areas of expertise in your field.

8. New Patient Offers/Treatment Consults


Providing offers or complimentary second opinions can attract patients who may be looking for Esthetic or Restorative treatments.


In addition, we’ve seen initial consult offers as a great way to get patients in the door. In addition, patients will receive treatment recommendations from other dental offices but want a second opinion or go to a dentist who they can trust.

Your website is a great place to highlight that you offer those treatments and that you can provide a consult with the dentist.

Security isn’t optional—it’s essential. Patients want reassurance that their data is safe and private. SmileSnap is HIPAA‑compliant by design. But how do you communicate that trust? In this blog, we’ll break down SmileSnap’s security features: end‑to‑end encryption, secure cloud storage, data access controls, video audit logs, and regular compliance audits. Then we reveal how to build trust on your website and patient intake flows with clear messaging: trust badges, FAQ transparency, and privacy reminders at form submission. We’ll also guide your staff in verbal reassurances during calls or chats. Included: email templates and scripts that explain “Why privacy matters to us + how we protect you.” Plus, strategies to proactively address data concerns: opt‑out info, consent acknowledgment, and easy deletion requests. We’ll include a sidebar “Show‑don’t‑tell” checklist: where to place badges, which copy phrases work best, and how to train your team. The result: patients feel secure, perceived risk drops, and consult volume rises. This isn’t just HIPAA—it’s smart marketing.

Virtual consults aren’t just for cleanings and checkups—they’re powerful for specialty services, too. Think Invisalign, implants, whitening, veneers: patients love initial screening with clear pricing, photos, and treatment previews—all without leaving home. In this blog, we dive into best practice workflows for five specialties. For example, Invisalign: intake asks for smile selfies, occlusion angles, and lifestyle tags (e.g. athletic). Snap results? Upload a Clarity photo with overlay graphics. Team responds with aligner pricing tiers and an interactive scheduler. For implants: intake collects gum health history and bite force notes; response includes radiograph prep tips and provisional timeline. We also explore cosmetic treatments like whitening and veneer preview technology. Each specialty needs tailored intake, messaging, and follow‑up. We share sample form questions, video prompts, and demo scripts. You’ll see how SmileSnap’s customizable widget and video tools align with specialty conversion goals. The result: higher case acceptance, fewer in‑office assessments, and deeper patient trust from the first click.
