Dental marketing agency · Patient Acquisition System
Dental PPC, local SEO, practice websites and follow-up, built as one system for dental practices and measured in new patients, not clicks.
Channels in the system
Dental patients choose in two very different ways. A cleaning or an emergency is a quick, local decision. Implants and clear aligners are researched for weeks and financed.
Good dental marketing treats them differently, and measures each by what it adds to the schedule: new patient exams, implant consults, aligner starts.
The best marketing for dentists combines Google Business Profile and local SEO for “dentist near me”, Google Ads for high-value treatments like implants and clear aligners, a fast website with online booking, and automated follow-up and review requests, all measured by cost per new patient.
Most dental practices are already spending on marketing. The problem is where the money leaks: implant leads that never show, a profile that drops out of the map pack two streets away, and a template website identical to the practice across town.
Our guide to ranking in Google’s local pack covers the Maps side in depth.
High-value treatment leads cost the most, and too many never book or never show.
Your practice disappears from “dentist near me” results a few streets from your door.
Patients can’t tell your practice from the next one, so they choose on price or proximity.
Every layer is built for dentistry, and every layer reports into the same cost-per-new-patient number.
Separate Google Ads campaigns for implants, clear aligners, emergency and cosmetic dentistry, each with its own landing page.
Google Business Profile optimized within Google’s guidelines, location pages and a steady flow of recent reviews.
Financing, insurance and candidacy answered up front, with before-and-after galleries done compliantly.
Texts within minutes of an inquiry and reminder sequences that recover missed appointments (why speed to lead matters).
Automated recall for hygiene patients and reactivation of lapsed patients, the cheapest new appointments you can get.
Monthly reporting on exams, consults and treatment starts by channel, location and treatment.
Campaigns, pages and reporting are organized by treatment, because an implant patient and a whitening patient behave differently.
Start with the treatments where one new patient covers months of ad spend (implants and clear aligners), then add emergency dentistry for fast, local calls. Routine exams usually do better through local SEO and recall, because their value comes from years of visits rather than one booking.
| Treatment | Patient value | Search behavior | How we run it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dental implants & full-arch | High: often several thousand dollars per case | Researched for weeks; financing questions | Dedicated campaign, financing-first landing page, nurture sequence |
| Clear aligners | High, with a long treatment plan | Comparison shopping against direct-to-consumer brands | Campaign by brand and generic terms; free consult offer |
| Emergency dentistry | Medium, and often a new long-term patient | Urgent, mobile, “open now” searches | Call-focused ads during opening hours, short call-to-book flow |
| Cosmetic dentistry | Medium to high | Visual research and reviews | Gallery-led pages, Meta for awareness, Search for intent |
| Exams & cleanings | Lower per visit, high lifetime value | “Dentist near me” and insurance searches | Local SEO and Maps first; PPC only for new-patient offers |
We set each campaign’s target from your cost per new patient and treatment value, not from an industry average cost per click.
We haven’t published a dental case study yet, and we won’t invent one. Here is the closest verified proof: the same system, tracking and team, in a neighboring specialty.
Procedure-level Google Ads, a dedicated consult page and tracking that separated calls, forms and booked consults cut cost per conversion from $141.68 to $61.12 while conversions grew from 34 to 99.
Including healthcare and wellness accounts such as a plastic surgery practice and a pharmacy, with 9 server-side containers, Meta Conversions API, call tracking and offline conversions.
Dental advertising is regulated by state dental boards as well as ad platforms. Specialty claims, pricing and before-and-after images all have rules.
Patient reviews and recall messages are designed so no reply or reminder confirms treatment details in public, and no health information reaches an ad platform.
This is how we build. It is not legal advice; confirm your setup with your own counsel.
| Rule or risk | What we do |
|---|---|
| Specialty claims | “Specialist” used only for recognized dental specialties, per your state dental board. |
| Pricing and offers | Offers state what is included and any conditions; no bait pricing. |
| Google Healthcare & medicines policy | Ad copy, keywords and landing pages reviewed before launch; certification handled for restricted categories. |
| Meta health & wellness rules | No targeting by health condition and no copy that implies a viewer’s condition or negative self-perception. |
| HIPAA and online tracking | No pixels on authenticated pages; a server-side container strips identifiers; offline conversions send click IDs, not PHI. |
| Forms, chat and booking | HIPAA-eligible tools with a signed Business Associate Agreement, encrypted and access-controlled. |
| Reviews and testimonials | Patient consent on file, no PHI in replies, and FTC endorsement rules followed for any featured result. |
No dental case study yet means you see exactly how we work instead. This is the plan, with a measurement baseline from day one.
Recorded audit of your ads, Maps, website, tracking and follow-up; baseline cost per new patient for implants, aligners and new-patient exams.
Calls, forms and booked appointments tracked server-side, with no PHI sent to ad platforms.
Landing pages for your highest-value treatments, with proof, pricing context and short intake.
Search and Maps first, then social, with policy checks on every ad and page.
Weekly tests and a monthly review of cost per new patient by treatment; budget follows booked appointments.
We set a measurement baseline on day one, so progress is visible every week.

A combination: Google Business Profile and local SEO for “dentist near me”, Google Ads for high-value treatments like implants and aligners, a fast site with online booking, and automated follow-up and reviews.
Yes. Dental PPC is effective for high-value treatments when campaigns are split by treatment, negatives exclude job and student searches, and calls are tracked to booked appointments.
Many practices budget a percentage of revenue for marketing, and growth-stage practices invest more. A better method is to work backward from a target number of new patients and your cost per new patient.
Dental SEO is usually a fixed monthly retainer that depends on locations, treatments and competition. Single-location practices typically commit for six to twelve months; we quote a fixed scope after a free audit.
Map-pack and local improvements often show in 60–120 days, with treatment-page rankings compounding over six to twelve months.
Yes. Oral surgery and pediatric practices get their own keywords, referral content and landing pages, because their patients and referral paths differ from general dentistry.
