Community recommendations, reviews, and local conversations can influence visibility across Google and AI search tools. New practice owners should establish their content, website, reviews, and community presence before investing heavily in advertising. Dentists should expect sustainable practice growth to take several years rather than expecting immediate results. Practice acquisitions should include digital assets such as domains, Google Business Profiles, reviews, and email marketing data. Marketing strategies and promotional offers must align with the practice’s operations, ideal patients, and long-term vision. Resources: Follow Parham Nabatian on LinkedIn.
