It’s no secret, visuals draw viewers to your blog. Research shows that visuals boost social media engagement – 2.3 times over posts without visuals on Facebook and 1.5 times more for tweets. They’re also more likely to be shared.
But it must be the right visual — one that’s relevant to your topic and your audience, an image that captures attention immediately. Dentists will find that a great image is key to boosting likes and shares in social media. You might be surprised at the variety of images that can draw readers to content on dental implants, orthodontics and even root canals.
We’ve got a few guidelines to follow in selecting that WOW visual:
Great photo: Whether it’s with a blog, Facebook ad or infographic, a captivating face or interesting image still grabs attention. And with today’s technology, images can be elevated to another level. Works best with bite-sized bits of info, to overcome information overload.

Explainer videos: Short videos are very popular and useful in explaining a concept. A brief video delivers more information in less time than an all-text explanation.
Authentic images: Instead of using a too-polished photo, capture real people or situations with an authentic image of your staff — or your patients, with their permission.
Researchers at MIT have found that the human brain will process images for just 13 milliseconds. When you combine pictures with text, you create information that is easier to remember. When audio is added, with video, you’ve solidified the engagement with viewers.
Keep in mind: The right tone and visual are crucial in building strong visual content that leads to successful marketing.
