Where patients leak

What goes wrong for dental practices in Lexington, KY

  • A busy front desk

    Hygiene, check-in and insurance questions fill the day, so new-patient calls roll to voicemail. Callers with an emergency or a quick question book elsewhere.

  • Competing on a crowded map

    Many dentists share the same neighborhoods. Patients tap the first few Maps listings, read the reviews and call. A weak profile or a handful of reviews puts you below the fold.

  • Paying for the wrong clicks

    Dental Google Ads can cost a lot per click. Broad keywords, no negative terms and no call tracking mean budget goes to people looking for free care, jobs or schools instead of a visit.
