Instagram gets all the attention, but Facebook still matters for dental offices. Many parents, grandparents and families check Facebook to find local businesses, read reviews and see if a practice is active.
You can share many of your Instagram posts on Facebook too. But some posts work especially well on Facebook. Here are 25.
How Facebook is different
- Longer captions are fine. People read more on Facebook.
- Links work in posts, so you can link straight to your booking page.
- Parents often decide for the whole family. Speak to them.
- Local groups and events are a big part of Facebook life.
- Reviews and recommendations show on your Page.
