Let's Take a Peak At Your Competitor's Yellow Pages Ads
One of the things I have done is to analyze the competition.
Because if you know what the other dentists are doing in your
market, you can use that information to market your practice.
Here are the results of advertisement analysis
in one particular market with lots of competition.
I took all the different things they offered and counted it up.
This should give you an idea of the kinds of things that dentists
are advertising ...and you can use that to your advantage.
Note: each category below was a particular "PHRASE" they used.
Also, notice the phrase: "insurance" had only 7 occurences in the ads
out of 36 yet that is the number 1 thing people asked when calling or coming
in. - big clue :)
