What We Do

Every Service Is Built Around One Metric: New Patients Per Month

We don’t sell marketing services. We sell new patient flow. Every channel we manage, every page we build, every campaign we run is measured against the economics of dental patient acquisition — because a dentist who gains 20 new patients per month at an average first-year value of $2,400 is generating $576,000 in new annual revenue.

Dental SEO

Local · Technical · Authority

We build the organic infrastructure that puts your practice at the top of Google for implants, Invisalign, emergency dentistry, and every high-value procedure in your market — ahead of DSO competition with centralised ad budgets 10× your size.

Avg. organic reach: +280% in 12 months

AEO — Answer Engine Optimisation

ChatGPT · Perplexity · AI Overviews

When a patient asks an AI 'who is the best dentist for dental implants in [city]?' — your practice should be the answer. We engineer the structured authority signals and semantic content that make AI models cite your practice by name.

94% AI answer capture rate for target queries

GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation

AI Training Data · LLM Visibility

GEO is AEO's next frontier: ensuring your brand's expertise is embedded into the data layers that power generative AI responses. First-mover advantage for dental practices is closing fast.

Meta Ads for Dental

Facebook · Instagram · Retargeting

Facebook and Instagram remain the most cost-effective channels for implant case acquisition, cosmetic dentistry, and elective procedure bookings — when run by someone who understands dental patient economics. We target by intent signals, demographics, and lookalike audiences built from actual dental patient data.

CPL targets: $35–$90 for implant campaigns

Google Ads for Dental

Search · Display · Performance Max

Dental Google Ads is unforgiving. CPCs of $25–$120 for implant and cosmetic terms mean every wasted dollar is a margin problem. We manage dental ad accounts with procedure-level bid strategies, conversion-optimised landing pages, and HIPAA-compliant tracking that shows you true CPL and case ROI.

Avg. CPL reduction vs. self-managed: 41%

Dental Website Design

Conversion-First · SEO-Native · HIPAA-Ready

Most dental websites are digital brochures. Ours are patient acquisition machines — built from the ground up for search performance, AEO readiness, and conversion. Every page hierarchy, heading structure, and schema block is engineered before a single design element is placed.

Avg. conversion rate lift: 2.3× vs. previous site

$480K in Implant Revenue Attributed to Organic Search in Year One

A periodontist adding implant services to a mature restorative practice had zero organic visibility for implant-related searches. After 12 months of implant-specific SEO — including full-arch content architecture, referring dentist AEO, and local authority building — organic search became the largest single driver of implant case consultations.

No generic templates. Every practice gets a custom growth gap analysis.

02
Week 2–3

Revenue-Mapped Strategy

Your growth strategy is built around the procedures that generate the highest case value in your specific market — implants, Invisalign, full-arch, cosmetic, or high-volume family dentistry. We model expected new patient volume, cost-per-lead targets, and 12-month revenue projections before a single ad goes live or a single page is written.

Month 1

Technical Foundation

AEO and SEO performance is built on technical infrastructure. We implement schema markup for dental services, optimise Core Web Vitals, resolve crawl errors, build the entity authority signals that AI models use to identify credible dental sources, and deploy HIPAA-compliant conversion tracking that captures true lead attribution.

Authority Content Deployment

Every high-value procedure and geographic target gets deep, clinically accurate content written to rank in traditional search and to be cited in AI-generated answers. Our dental content meets E-E-A-T standards with verified author credentials, accurate clinical descriptions, and the depth that Google and AI platforms require to establish genuine expertise.

Why Dental-Exclusive Expertise Matters

A generalist agency has to learn your industry. We know what a $4,200 Invisalign case is worth. We know the CPCs for implant terms in Phoenix. We know HIPAA’s implications for patient testimonial content and exactly where Google’s healthcare advertising policies create risk. That specialisation is the margin between campaigns that scale and campaigns that plateau.

FAQ

Questions Dentists Ask Before Partnering With Us

Honest answers to the questions every growth-focused practice owner should ask before investing in marketing at this level.

Don’t see your question here?

Most dental marketing agencies run generic campaigns built on broad templates. We operate exclusively in the dental and healthcare space, which means we understand the real economics: a single implant case is worth $4,000–$6,000 in production, an Invisalign patient is worth $5,000–$8,000, and a loyal family patient generates $1,500–$10,000 in lifetime value. Every campaign, every piece of content, and every bid strategy we build is anchored to these numbers — not to impressions or click-through rates.

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is the discipline of ensuring your practice appears as the cited answer when patients use AI tools — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini — to ask health and dental questions. Research shows that a growing percentage of patients are beginning their provider search by asking AI assistants rather than typing keywords into Google. Practices that own those AI-generated answers now are building an organic asset that their competitors will spend years trying to replicate.

Honest answer: most practices see measurable organic traction within 4–6 months and significant results at 9–12 months. Emergency dentistry and general search terms move faster. Competitive implant and Invisalign terms in major markets take longer. We set clear 90-day, 6-month, and 12-month benchmarks at the start of every engagement so you know exactly what to expect and when. We do not guarantee rankings — any agency that does is either misrepresenting what they can control or using tactics that risk your site's long-term performance.

Yes — and it is one of the most common engagements we take on. We begin with a full audit of your existing paid accounts, identifying budget waste, quality score problems, and landing page conversion gaps before making any structural changes. In most cases, we identify meaningful CPL reduction opportunities within the first 30 days without increasing spend.

HIPAA compliance in dental marketing primarily concerns patient testimonial content, conversion tracking pixel data, and any retargeting strategies that could expose protected health information. We use HIPAA-compliant tracking infrastructure, follow documented protocols for patient review and testimonial content, and flag any campaign element that creates compliance risk for your practice. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice — practices with specific compliance concerns should consult qualified healthcare counsel.

Yes. Multi-location dental group management is a distinct service with its own strategy framework. We build individual location authority without cannibalising rankings across locations, implement centralised campaign management with location-level optimisation, and create reporting structures that give DSO leadership the portfolio-level data they need alongside location-specific performance detail.

The initial strategy session is a 30-minute call focused on your practice's current new patient acquisition model, your target procedures, your competitive landscape, and where the highest-leverage growth opportunities exist. There is no cost, no sales pressure, and no obligation. If we identify a strong fit, we will outline a recommended engagement structure. If we do not think we are the right partner for your situation, we will tell you that directly.

Our standard engagements are structured on a 6-month initial term to allow sufficient time for SEO and AEO strategies to build meaningful organic momentum. Paid media management is available on a month-to-month basis after an initial 90-day ramp period. We do not believe in locking clients into long-term commitments as a retention strategy — the results should be reason enough to continue.
