Fit

When we are, and are not, the right partner

A good fit

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

Probably not a fit

  • You want a promised ranking or a promised number of new starts
  • You are looking for the cheapest possible monthly fee

Where patients leak

Three leaks we look for in St. Paul

  • Two audiences, one website

    Parents searching for a child and adults searching for themselves ask different questions. A site that speaks to only one of them loses the other.

  • 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.

FAQ

Orthodontics marketing in St. Paul: questions

Does ranking in Google Maps matter for orthodontics practices in St. Paul?

It is often the first place a new patient sees you. A complete profile, steady real reviews and service pages for each area you serve all feed it, and we report calls from it separately.

Do you work with practices in Minnesota?

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

Does The Leading Practice have a location in St. Paul, MN?

We are a remote team. Calls are by phone or video, and everything we build lives in the accounts you own, so nobody needs to travel to St. Paul.

What does the first 90 days look like?

We audit your profile, site, ads and call handling, fix tracking, and start with the highest-return changes for St. Paul. You get a plain report at each checkpoint.

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.

Plan your St. Paul orthodontics program

One call, no obligation. We review your Maps profile, ads and website, then lay out a 90-day plan with prices stated plainly.
