Google Reviews for Hastings Dentists

Why a quiet dental profile costs new patients

Existing patients rebook without looking you up. New ones do nothing but look you up. So a practice can be completely full and still turn away every person searching for an emergency appointment on a Sunday night.

What they read for is specific. Was it painful. Were they good with children. Did anyone explain the cost before starting. A profile with a handful of old reviews answers none of that, and the practice down the road that answers all of it gets the call.

Google factors review count and rating into how prominent your listing is. What is written in those reviews is the part that convinces the person once they have found you.

How it works in a practice

Set up once with the practice manager. Nothing changes at the chair.

1

I connect your Google Business Profile

About 15 minutes with the practice manager. Nothing gets installed on the practice network.

2

You approve one message

Calm and plain, approved by you before a single patient receives it. Same wording for everyone.

3

The ask follows completed appointments

You mark visits complete or send me a list, the same way you would for recalls. If your practice software exports a completed appointment list, bring a sample to the call and I will look at whether it can feed in directly.

4

Unhappy customers reach you first

A complaint about pain, or a cost that was not explained, reaches the practice manager privately first. The patient is never prevented from posting publicly.

No filtering by how the appointment went. Every patient on the list gets the same message and anyone unhappy can still post. That is what Google's review policies require, and I do not bend it for any industry.

Pricing for a practice, not a hospital group

Starter

$39/month NZD

Fifty requests a month, SMS and email, private alerts and reply drafts. Comfortable for a small practice.

Pro

$59/month NZD

Unlimited requests, the full dashboard and the local pack ranking tracker. Most practices still keep reply approval in house, and that is the right call.

No lock-in. Month to month, and you can stop any time.

What practices ask

Who approves what gets posted under our name?

+

You do. Nothing publishes without someone at the practice signing it off. On a health listing I would keep it that way rather than hand the posting to me.

What about patient privacy in a reply?

+

Drafts thank someone without confirming what they were treated for, or that they are a patient at all. You read every one before it goes live.

Do we ask patients who had a difficult visit?

+

Yes, the same request. Gating by outcome is what puts a profile at risk. The private alert is there so a difficult visit reaches the practice manager first.

Which plan suits a practice?

+

Starter covers a small practice comfortably. Pro is for higher patient volume, or if you want the ranking tracker.
