Volume 11 - 4 Practical Social Media Strategies + a Webinar and a Contest!

Welcome to Optometry Web - the newsletter entirely focused on leveraging the power of your web site to help build your practice. This volume is packed and the focus is on getting practical with Social Media.

Our top two articles provide you with a wealth of practical tips on what practices are actually doing to promote themselves with social media - Facebook in particular. Don't forget your website though, and Google's emphasis on getting patient reviews - article number three is a must read, and a must do to keep your website optimized for the search results. We've partnered with a true social media guru, Dr. Alan Glazier, to run an SEO contest, and we've profiled four great new practice web site designs.

We always welcome your questions, comments, suggestions and opinions and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Daniel Rostenne Daniel Rostenne,
