The most fun part of my job these days is setting up various social media accounts for our clients. It’s part of a specific SEO package a doctor can purchase. Besides designing custom websites for dentist and plastic surgeons (in fact there are more specialties we design for) we also market their websites. All for a better placement at the SE’s (Search Engines).
Check out PBHS’ lens on Squidoo, PBHS on YouTube and the PBHS blog.
Just a quick follow up on my previous post:
Proven results. Experience. Understanding. Outstanding design. Peer reviewed content.
We are experts in the custom design of websites that differentiate your practice and build a strong brand — as we have for thousands of respected dental and medical professionals from Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Orthodontists, Endodontists and Periodontists
to Cosmetic Dentists and Plastic Surgeons.
We will start by designing your site as an educational resource and
electronic billboard for your practice — an online brochure directed at
the large number of patients and referring doctors who use the Internet.
We’ll tell them why they should trust you with their care and what
makes you special.
With our staff of experienced graphic designers, software specialists
and copywriters, we will make certain that your site has a first-class,
highly professional image.

I’m usually hesitant about blogging about my 9 to 5 job but in this case I’m going to make an exception. There are several reasons for doing this. First reason is the work environment. Even with a good amount of workload and the stress that comes with it PBHS manages to keep it all ’sane’. The group of highly educated and brilliant coworkers is part of the joy of working with PBHS.
Secondly is the standard of website design. We are pushing boundaries every day to meet the expectations of our dental clients. Although we make custom designs for our clients our dental website templates are state of the art as well. Just read one of our client’s testimonial!
I’m glad I’m working with another great company after I left Best Image (a company I would recommend if you’re working in the real estate industry). If you happen to be a dentist, plastic surgeon or any profession related to the dental health industry I encourage you to look at PBHS’ website design services!
FYI: We’re about to launch version PBHS 2.0 pretty soon! I’ll keep you posted!
You sure can! Surprised by this answer? Let me explain. You own a Ford Focus (yes, the car) and you need to replace the side mirror. Ask yourself this question: Can I remove it myself without taking it into a car repair shop? Same answer as your first question! A search on Google can bring you to this link.
Nowadays the resources for SEO are almost endless. There are several free tools available which can help you with your SEO. Besides of these free tools there are tons of good forums and these communities are open to help you with almost any question (be polite!).
Good one. Short and simple: No. Why? Because there will always be website owners who don’t want to do it themselves. Their expertise isn’t optimization and they don’t feel confident enough to do the job. There is more to it then having the ‘manual’. You need to have basic knowledge of HTML.
You also need to know how to use a ftp-client to get your files up to your server. Let’s not forget you need to have time as well. SEO can be time consuming. You need to do a lot of research: keywords, link building, competition, etc. Optimizing your site can’t be done in a weekend unlike replacing a side mirror of a Ford Focus.
Like I mentioned before there are a lot of communities and websites that can get you started. First I will mention some ‘must read’ websites:
You might think the list is short but these sites are packed with useful information. SEOmoz just reached the 2000 mark for premium members (congrats Rand!) and this website will give weeks (if not months) of valuable reading material. So do the other two I mentioned. I suggest you get yourself a good RSS-reader (Mac, Win, Linux/Unix) and start subscribing to the above feeds. Make sure you subscribe to eightdegree’s rss feed as well!
A good start is using SoloSEO. SoloSEO is a do-it-yourself SEO Project Management system. It does a great job of keeping things simple and we all know we want things to be simple and easy! SoloSEO will all of your tasks in one place: keyword management, link building, content tracking, etc. It will provide you with all the necessary tools and keep it all organized.
Pricing is pretty decent (5 domains for $29.00 a month) and it will save you time! You can find other free tools scattered online and you might end up populating your own spread sheets. Don’t you rather take your dog for a beach walk? I know I want to!
You’re entitled to think so but I strongly believe in sharing information. Without sharing there wouldn’t be the internet! Sharing knowledge and information will eventually make us all grow. It’s not about you as an individual. I can go on in detail about my views of the world and human mankind but if you’re interested in my opinions I recommend reading my personal blog mindplunge.
Happy Optimizing!
It’s been only 10 days and already we can see some significant changes to our SERP’s (Search Engine Result Page). Eightdegree was ‘lost’ 2 weeks ago (google: page 22 - #7) for “web design Santa Rosa, CA” and “SEO Santa Rosa, CA”. Some minor changes got us a long way. We optimized the home page by changing the content a bit. A better implementation of the H1, H2 tags, and most important we changed the title tag.
Here are some results:
Search term: “web design Santa Rosa, CA”
Google: page 2 - #3
Yahoo!: page 1 - #4
Live Search: page 1 - #9
Ask.com: not listed on the first 10 pages
Search term: “webdesign Santa Rosa, CA” (mind the misspelling)
Google: page 1 - #6
Yahoo!: page 1 - #2
Live Search: page 1 - #9
Ask.com: page 1 - #1
Search term: “SEO Santa Rosa Ca”
Google: page 1 - #1
Yahoo!: page 1 - #1
Live Search: page 1 - #1
Ask.com: not listed on the first 10 pages
As you can see some pretty amazing improvement for eightdegree within two weeks.
