Effective dental or dentist marketing begins with your website design. With WordPress being such a popular route for Dentists in business over the past few years, we’ve decided to throw together a list of the best WordPress plugins for dentists to use on their dental practice website design.
While there are particular “must-have” plugins for nearly every WordPress site, we’ve compiled this list without the standard plugins, and chose to mostly stick to plugins that a dentist most certainly should include on their sites. Enjoy!
Multi Purpose Before and After Slider
Patients are curious about what they can expect with your dental practice, and showing them some of your past successes are a great way to begin building trust with your future prospects. This plugin lets a user toggle a slider back and forth over two images that are combined, showing the before and after images of your past patients.
WordPress SEO by Yoast
The absolute best plugin available for WordPress when it comes to search engine optimization. Hands down, the Yoast SEO plugin gives you everything you need to begin improving your search rankings, and comes preloaded with helpful tips and tools to tell you how to better your website SEO. It’s a must have for any WordPress website, especially in the competitive dentist market.
We often preach about the benefits of Video Marketing, especially for dentists. The WordPress YouTube Plugin is a free addition to your website that makes it easy for you post your marketing and educational videos on your website or blog.
Show off what your happy patients have to say about you! Consumers are drawn to actual reviews from other consumers who have done business with you. This testimonials slider is an elegant display for you to show off your current patients experiences.
Gravity Forms
Gravity Forms is one of the best contact form plugin for WordPress. It is famous for its ease of use with the drag-drop interface.
If you already own the plugin, then you can easily create your own booking form with it. Gravity Forms has built-in support for notifications, so you can send appointment confirmation email automatically. Since Gravity Form stores your form data, all your appointments will be stored on your WordPress site as well.
You can also connect Gravity Forms with anything using Zapier. This way you can connect your booking form to Google Calendar and then add that Google Calendar in a WordPress post or page.
BackupBuddy
Don’t do WordPress without it. You can find the popular backup plugin on IThemes website, here.
