Patient acquisition for modern dental practices

A steadier stream of high-value patients could be possible —
without the agency circus.

Dentist.leadgenbud is a marketing partner your front desk could value: local SEO that could rank, Google Ads that could book, recall systems that could fill chairs, and reputation that could compound. Built for single-location and small-group practices that take their numbers seriously.

  • HIPAA-aware data handling
  • No long-term contracts
  • Reporting you can show a partner
  • No paid directories

Built for practices that have outgrown the lead-gen agency

  • Solo practices
  • 2–5 location groups
  • Implants / cosmetics
  • Endodontists & perio
  • DSO-adjacent

Approach

Four numbers we agree on before the contract is signed.

No fluff decks. We open every engagement with a 30-minute audit and agree, in writing, on four metrics that could improve. If we do not see a credible path to move them, we tell you on the call and refer you elsewhere.

  1. 01

    Baseline: where you actually are

    We pull your GBP, Search Console, ad account, recall data, and reviews. We give you a number for every metric and we keep a copy.

  2. 02

    Targets: the four numbers

    Cost per booked chair. Show-rate. Recall reactivation. Review velocity. We pick them together. We do not move goalposts.

  3. 03

    Build: SEO, ads, lifecycle

    Local SEO that could rank. Google Ads that could book — not just click. Lifecycle emails, SMS recall, and reputation that could compound.

  4. 04

    Report: one PDF, monthly

    One page per metric. Variance vs. last month, vs. target, vs. industry. You can hand the PDF to a partner or a buyer.

Services

Five capabilities, one operator.

You get a single point of contact who is accountable to your numbers — not a sales rep, not an account manager, not a pod of juniors. We do five things and we do them well.

Local SEO

GBP optimization, citation cleanup, location pages, schema, and on-page. Built to support rankings for "dentist near me" and procedure-level terms that could pay.

  • Procedure + city landing pages
  • Schema: Dentist, FAQ, Review
  • Map pack domination, not just blue links

Google Ads

Search campaigns with real dental intent, brand defense, and a negative keyword list the size of a phone book. No display fluff.

  • Procedure-level ad groups
  • Call tracking + form tracking, separate
  • Negative keywords refreshed weekly

Recall & reactivation

Email + SMS lifecycle for hygiene recall, dormant patients, and treatment-plan follow-ups. One source of truth, no copy-paste into five tools.

  • 6-month hygiene recall
  • 9–14 month dormant reactivation
  • Treatment plan follow-up

Reputation system

Review velocity, response templates, internal feedback loops. We don't game the system; the workflow could help happy patients leave reviews.

  • Post-visit SMS review requests
  • Owner responses in your voice
  • Internal alert when NPS drops

Implant & Invisalign funnels

Specialty funnels for high-value procedures: dedicated landing pages, lead-qualification forms, and paths that could lead to booked consultations — not just leads.

  • Procedure-specific landing pages
  • Consult-booked, not lead-submitted
  • Could support a lead-to-consult show-rate > 70%

How it works

From "we should probably do marketing" to "the chair could be fuller."

  1. 01

    A free 20-minute call

    You tell us how your practice runs. We tell you honestly whether our approach fits — no pitch, no slide deck. If we're not the right match, we say so and point you somewhere that might be.

  2. 02

    We audit your practice and put the goals in writing

    We review your Google listing, your reviews, how many patients come back, and whether your current ads are working. Then we agree on four specific targets — with real numbers — before we do anything. You sign off first.

  3. 03

    We run it. You could see results.

    Your ads go live, your Google listing gets fixed, and overdue patients start getting appointment reminders automatically. Every Friday, a short video update. Every month, one report with your four numbers and what moved. No meetings, no jargon.

"We had three agencies before LeadGenBud. They sent us 80 leads a month, and 6 of them would book. Dentist.leadgenbud sent us 60 leads, and 22 booked. Same spend. Three weeks in, I cancelled the others."

FAQ

The questions a partner or owner would ask.

Do you require a long-term contract?

The current terms for each canonical plan are shown on the monthly plan comparison. You could review the exact term and cancellation details before choosing a plan.

How are you different from a "lead generation agency"?

We focus on the practice outcomes that marketing could influence: cost per booked chair, show rate, recall reactivation, and review velocity. Raw lead volume is only one input.

Do you handle the front desk or phone calls?

No. We build the funnel and lifecycle, but calls go to your front desk. If the front desk appeared to be the bottleneck, we could flag it and recommend training before adding spend.

Are you HIPAA-aware?

Yes. We don't touch PHI directly. All forms route to systems that have signed BAA when required. Patient reviews are scrubbed of PHI before publication.

What does it cost?

The canonical offer path above shows the current Free, Autopilot, Momentum, Scale, and Market Leader choices in Australian dollars. Use Compare monthly plans for the full current comparison. Ad spend is separate.

Who is LeadGenBud?

LeadGenBud is a small operator founded by people who've run agencies and on the client side. We work with a small number of practices at a time. You can read more on leadgenbud.com.
