Fit

When we are, and are not, the right partner

A good fit

  • You are open to call tracking so we can show which source booked each consultation
  • You will share your treatment mix, your payment options and the cases you want more of

Probably not a fit

  • You are looking for the cheapest possible monthly fee
  • Your schedule is full and you are not adding capacity

Where patients leak

Where orthodontics practices in Fort Wayne lose new patients

  • Referral dependence and weak visibility

    Many practices rely on referring dentists. Strong referrals help, but patients also search directly, and a thin Maps profile gives that demand to competitors.

  • Consultation requests that wait

    A parent who fills out a form on a phone often contacts two or three practices. The one that responds first, with open times, usually gets the visit.

How it works

Booked, Clicked, Answered: the first steps in Fort Wayne

Every step is measured, so we can show where Fort Wayne patients are found, lost or booked. These are the steps we would put first.

  • Booked

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

  • Clicked

    Google Ads and optional Facebook ads aimed at the consultations you want to grow, such as braces, clear aligners and adult orthodontics, sent to matching pages.

  • Answered

    An AI front desk answers calls and chats after hours and during busy stretches, answers common questions and offers consultation times.

The whole method is on the orthodontics marketing page.

FAQ

Orthodontics marketing in Fort Wayne: questions

Can you promise results in Fort Wayne?

No. Results depend on your market, your team and your offer. We share our method and our numbers and we do not promise outcomes or rankings.

Do you work with practices in Indiana?

We work with practices across the United States. We do not yet list an Indiana practice on our client wall, so we would build your Fort Wayne program from our method rather than from a local example.

Is my practice too small or too big for this?

We build the program around your capacity and goals. A Fort Wayne practice with one location and a practice with several both start with the same audit.

How do I find out if you can help my Fort Wayne 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 orthodontic Google Ads and Facebook ads both make sense?

Google Ads reaches people searching right now. Facebook ads suit awareness and offers, such as adult treatment, among people who are not searching yet. Many practices start with Google Ads and add Facebook later.

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