Where patients leak
Common gaps in San Francisco dental marketing
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.
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.
FAQ
Dental marketing in San Francisco: questions
How do I find out if you can help my San Francisco practice?
Schedule a free call. We look at how patients find you now and tell you what we would change and what it would cost.
Do you work with other dental practices in California?
Yes. One practice on our client wall is in California: Daryl Cranon DDS (Los Angeles).
Do I need to meet you in person?
Not at all. Practices in California and elsewhere work with us over video, phone and shared dashboards.
Will I get a guaranteed ranking or patient count?
No one honestly can. We commit to the work, the tracking and clear monthly reporting, and we show what San Francisco calls and bookings result.
Do you protect patient privacy?
We build with HIPAA-aware processes. We keep patient health details out of ad platforms and website forms and use a business associate agreement where a vendor handles protected health information.
