How it works

Booked, Tracked, Answered: the first steps in St. Louis

  • Booked

    The appointment is placed on your calendar, confirmed by text and reminded before the visit.

  • Tracked

    Each call, form and booking is tied to the keyword, ad or listing that produced it, so spending follows what works.

Where patients leak

What goes wrong for dental practices in St. Louis, MO

  • 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.

FAQ

Dental marketing in St. Louis: questions

Do you have an office in St. Louis?

No. We work with dental practices remotely, so there is no St. Louis office to visit. Strategy calls run by video or phone and the work happens in your Business Profile, ad accounts, website and calendar.

Do you work with healthcare practices in Missouri?

Yes. One practice on our client wall is in Missouri: Jackson Healing Arts (Jackson). Our client wall lists them with their websites.

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 St. Louis calls and bookings result.

How do I find out if you can help my St. Louis 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.

How is a dental SEO company different from a general agency?

A specialist knows how patients search for dental care, how Maps listings are won and how to write about treatments without making outcome claims. A general agency usually starts from scratch on each of those.

We start by looking at how your calls and bookings arrive now. The call is free and ends with a written 90-day outline.
