Record spend, squeezed owners, and the most-compared purchase in the category

Cosmetic and implant dentistry is cash-pay, high-ticket and intensely compared: a full-arch patient asks about cost, about abroad versus home, about whether it is worth it, across every engine there is. Owners, meanwhile, have watched expenses outrun revenue for a decade. The practice that answers the patient's questions plainly, and recalls properly, grows; the one that buys clicks into a slow front desk does not

Written to the strictest rule in your market

Dental advertising rules vary by country and by regulator; the UK GDC and the ASA expect claims to be substantiated and before-and-after material to be typical and consented. Price transparency is permitted as information in most markets and is the most common unanswered patient question. We build it into the procedure pages.

The advertising rules by market, in detail

What we fixed. What changed

Clinics · Paid ads

Orthodontic clinic, Manchester

£74cost per booked consultation, down from £121

Campaigns were optimised towards lead forms, but more than half of those enquiries never progressed to an appointment. We connected campaign reporting to booked consultations, added online appointment selection and excluded locations producing high volumes of low-intent leads.

Cost per booked consultation fell from £121 to £74 over five months. Booked consultation volume increased 21%.

Clinics · Landing pages and conversion

Dermatology clinic, Bristol

+28%consultations booked from website enquiries, twelve weeks

Patients completed a nine-field enquiry form and were told someone would contact them within two working days. We reduced the form to four fields, showed available consultation times earlier and introduced same-day SMS follow-up.

The enquiry-to-consultation rate increased 28% over twelve weeks, with no material increase in website traffic.

Clinics · SEO and AI visibility

Private cardiology clinic, Birmingham

+34%non-brand organic enquiries, seven months

The website contained detailed consultant biographies but very little information about symptoms, tests, appointment costs or referral requirements. We created condition, diagnostic and pricing pages, with clinical review before publication, and corrected inconsistent medical directory listings.

Non-brand organic enquiries increased 34% over seven months. Four diagnostic pages also began appearing in AI-generated answers for tracked patient questions.
