Yelp Help for Healthcare Providers

How to Use the Popularity and Power of Yelp to Improve Your Image and Attract New Patients

Yelp’s influence of healthcare practices is continuing to grow, especially in large cities. Potential new patients are turning to Yelp more than any other place to find their dentists, physicians, optometrists, chiropractors, veterinarians, hospitals and specialists. It is safe to say that if you have unhandled negative Yelp reviews, you are not only generating fewer new patients than before, you are losing patients.

On the other hand, if you have an awesome Yelp page, packed with dozens of positive reviews, that attracts hundreds of visitors, you are seeing more new patients than ever, and without spending a dime!

“Yelp Help for Healthcare Providers” is the first and only book that gives healthcare providers the exact steps you need to create and manage a successful Yelp page. It is based on years of hands-on experience helping practice owners turn their Yelp pages into valuable, productive assets.

You can treat Yelp as an enemy or as your friend. By following the steps in “Yelp Help for Healthcare Providers,” you will have the knowledge you need to increase your popularity and generate new patients with Yelp. When Yelp is your friend, it is a VERY GOOD friend.

If Yelp is not yet important in your area, it will be. You have an opportunity to become an “early adopter” and take one of the number one spots in your city. For example, if you use Yelp to search for a dentist in any major US city, like Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York, you will see the practice owners who show up at the top of the list have dozens of positive reviews, even hundreds. You can also see some of these smart dentists were getting positive reviews in 2007, years before Yelp was a popular way to find healthcare providers.
