Dental Practice in Springfield, MA

An independently owned dental practice in Springfield, MA, was facing a significant challenge. Despite their enthusiasm for their future and dedication to patient-centered dental care, their limited social media presence was hindering their growth. They were aware that potential patients were turning to online platforms for information, but they were not visible in these spaces.

To make matters more challenging, their small team was fully occupied with daily operations and new-office planning, leaving no one with the time or marketing expertise to build a social media strategy, create engaging content, or interact with followers.

They turned to Remedo with a single mission: ignite their digital efforts, strengthen brand visibility, and connect meaningfully with current and potential patients through consistent, targeted social media engagement.

The Client’s Background

A trusted dental clinic in Springfield, MA, is famed for providing complete dental care. Their services range from root canals and crowns to extractions and pediatric dentistry for patients in the neighborhood. With advanced equipment and patient-focused services, they're renowned for providing hassle-free dental visits.

However, their engagement stayed low even after posting daily on social media. Their content wasn’t reaching the right audience, and it was costing them new patients. That’s when they realized the importance of social media. Soon after, they partnered with Remedo to extend their brand reach and connect with more patients online.

The Challenges

As per our discussion with the client’s team, some of the main issues we identified were:

1) Overloaded team with no bandwidth: The clinic’s small staff was occupied with daily operations and opening new locations, so they didn’t have the time or marketing expertise to kick off a social media strategy.

2) Virtually zero online presence: With minimal effort in digital channels, their Facebook and Instagram accounts were inactive, which meant no engagement from the many patients who first researched dentists online.

3) Unclear path to audience growth: They knew potential patients were on social media but didn’t know how to build an audience or target self-referring patients in Springfield and nearby communities.

4) Lack of social proof to build trust: Without reviews, testimonials, or interactive posts, the clinic could not showcase happy patients or convert online interest into real bookings.

5) Missed local visibility opportunities: Because they weren’t appearing in local searches or feeds, they were missing out on patients right in their own backyard—making the climb to a lead-generating social presence even steeper.

The Strategy

Since we teamed up, everything has been about putting patients first. Our team knows what it takes to help new practices shine online. We’ve guided clinics through every step, optimizing profiles, sharing real patient stories, and fine-tuning our approach.

1) Social Media Profile Optimization

A well-optimized social media page is essential for connecting with and engaging your patients. As the first step in our action plan, we optimized their Facebook and Instagram profiles.

- We updated the practice’s contact details and business hours and added a clear “Book Now” button. This allows potential patients to book an appointment with a single tap.

- Next, we specified the service areas in the bio, making it obvious who they serve.

- We also added geo-tags and local hashtags to every post to ensure the clinic appears in nearby searches.

These simple changes made their profiles easy to find, easy to use, and immediately more engaging for potential patients.

2) Monthly Content Calendar

After optimizing their social profiles, we set up a reliable monthly calendar. We scheduled four feed posts and one blog share each month—plus special-day creatives for events like Smile Month, National Men’s Health Week, and Father’s Day.

We mixed in educational tips on oral care, practice news, and local community highlights. This steady rhythm kept their users engaged and gave the clinic a clear roadmap for content creation.

3) Share Patient Outcomes

Next, we focused on real patient success stories. We gathered testimonials, along with before-and-after photos, to show actual treatment results.

Then, we turned those into carousel posts and short video reels, making it easy for followers to swipe through genuine transformations. By highlighting real outcomes, we built credibility and gave potential patients confidence in the clinic’s care.

4) Interactive Stories & Engagement Tools

We then turned to Instagram and Facebook Stories to spark real conversations. We deployed polls, Q&As, and special-occasion story templates to improve engagement.

To widen our net, we also shared top stories in local Springfield community groups, putting the clinic front and center for nearby residents. This two-way engagement boosted their clinic's visibility and made followers feel heard and involved.

5) Review Link Promotion & Cross-Platform Integration

Finally, we boosted social proof and tied everything together across platforms. We added review links to the Facebook feed and bio, which helped us generate more 5-star reviews from satisfied patients.

At the same time, we shared Instagram post previews on Facebook and included Instagram profile links in blog articles. This cross-linking reinforced the brand’s consistency and helped both channels grow together.

The Results

In just a short time, our social media management strategy helped them connect with more patients on social media. From increased profile visits to growing engagement, the early numbers show strong potential.
