How to Request to Opt Out from the Oaktown Dentists Directory

 

The Oaktown Dentists Directory does make it possible for dentists to opt out of the directory rather than claim their listing. Using the contact page, submit your request specifying the listing you want to delete. Our team will then the email domain and business website of the requestor to ensure they match the listed profile.

 

Email addresses not linked to a business domain, such as [dentistname]11@gmail.com, will not suffice. Additional validation measures will be taken in the absence of a business domain email address.

 

After affirming your identity, you will be notified when your profile has been deleted from the Oaktown Dentists Directory.

 

The Significance of Verification

Negative SEO - Oaktown Dentists

 

Understanding Negative SEO

 

Negative SEO, also known as Black Hat SEO, encompasses methods like removal requests or update listing requests to divert traffic and harm rivals' search rankings. 

 

A valid, even unclaimed, Oaktown Dentists profile can generate 5-10 queries per month, boosting the chances of attracting new patients. Acquiring a new patient means reducing one for your competition.

 

When a removal request is submitted, the goal is to shut down that online marketing channel, therefore, reducing online traffic and leading potential patients to choose competitors because they can no longer find your dental practice online.

 

LOCALSYNC, which manages several professional directories like Oaktown Dentists, must beware when handling opt-out requests from informal [dentistname]123@gmail.com-type emails. Intriguingly, over 97% of requesters using such "bogus" email addresses never respond to additional validation requests.
