Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Fayetteville practice

Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.

  1. Reviews and your Google Business Profile first

    One NPI-registered dentist per 555 residents in Fayetteville (US: one per 1,340). That is 2.4 times the national rate. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.

  2. A crowded field for physical therapists

    2.4 times the US number of NPI-registered physical therapists per resident (one per 498 residents). A physical therapist here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for physical therapists.

  3. Put insurance and payment options up front

    Median household income $58,407 (US $80,734). Plans accepted and financing belong on every page of the website.

  4. Show the practice on social media

    Median age 30.6 (US 38.9). Regular posts showing the team and office are part of our social media plan.
