We all know that buying decisions are based on emotion.  So is deciding who to contact when looking for an orthodontic treatment provider. Does your video content set your practice apart to engage talk in your area or is it the same as every other orthodontic marketing video out there?  If you are going to spend a lot of personal time or thousands of dollars on professional video creation, why not think outside the box to grab attention and get consumers in your area talking.

I spend much of my time these days coaching orthodontic practices on how to write a SEO blog post so it gets noticed on the search engines by readers?

To start, the first thing to consider when you are writing a blog post is how you are going to please both the search engine spiders as well as your human visitors. It isn’t all about SEO and keywords no matter what you may have heard or read.  Google for example is much more interested in you making your articles readable and interesting.  Your click through rate (CTR)  is one of the criteria it looks at.  If readers are immediately clicking out of your blog or don’t return because the content is considered boring or unreadable, it will hurt your ranking.  Your goal is to create fun and interesting blog posts to please both the search engines and readers.
