Most new patients find a dentist the same way: they search, they compare a handful of practices on a map, they look at reviews and a website, and they call the one that feels right. Every guide in this section is about one step in that path, in the order a patient actually walks it.
Start with your Google Business Profile. For most general practices it produces more calls than every other channel combined, it costs nothing, and it is the part of your marketing a busy office most often leaves half-finished. Then local SEO makes sure Google trusts and understands your practice across the rest of the web, and your website does the converting: a visitor who can’t find your phone number or tell whether you take their insurance is a patient you paid to attract and lost anyway.
Paid ads come last on purpose. Ads can fill a schedule fast, but they amplify whatever is underneath them. Sent to a weak profile and a slow website, ad spend mostly buys expensive clicks. Fix the free channels first, then pay to grow them.
Read the guides in the order below if you are starting from scratch, or jump to the one that matches your biggest gap. Each guide is split into short chapters, and each comes with a free checklist or template your team can work through.
