Patient acquisition for dental practices

A steady stream of high-value patients —
without the agency circus.

Dentist.leadgenbud is the marketing partner your front desk wishes you had: local SEO that ranks, Google Ads that book, recall systems that fill chairs, and reputation that compounds. 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 we commit, in writing, to four things we will move. If we can't 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 ranks. Google Ads that book — not just click. Lifecycle emails, SMS recall, and reputation that compounds.

  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 rank for "dentist near me" and the procedure-level terms that 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, we just make sure happy patients actually 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 booked consultations — not just leads.

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

Process

From "we should probably do marketing" to "the chair is full."

  1. 01

    Day 0 — Fit call

    20 minutes. We listen, we ask three questions, we tell you whether we can move your numbers. If not, we name two operators who might.

  2. 02

    Day 1–7 — Practice audit

    Screen-share. We pull the data, we send the PDF, we agree on the four numbers. If you sign, we have the four numbers in writing before we touch an ad account.

  3. 03

    Day 7–30 — Foundation

    GBP, citations, tracking, lifecycle templates, ad account rebuild if needed. We don't ship "strategy decks." We ship working assets.

  4. 04

    Day 30–90 — Build

    SEO pages, ad groups, SMS/email, reputation system. You get a Friday Loom update and a monthly PDF. No status meetings, no PowerPoint.

  5. 05

    Day 90+ — Iterate

    The four numbers are now visible. We move the spend to what works, we cut what doesn't, and we ship the next quarter's plan as a single Notion page.

FAQ

The questions a partner or owner would ask.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Default is month-to-month after the first 90 days. The first 90 days are the time we need to set up the four numbers, and we'd rather earn the renewal than lock you in.

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

We don't sell leads. We sell booked chairs. Our contracts are on the four numbers (cost per booked chair, show-rate, recall reactivation, review velocity), not on raw lead volume.

Do you handle the front desk or phone calls?

No. We build the funnel and the lifecycle, but the calls go to your front desk. If your front desk is the bottleneck, we'll tell you — and we'll recommend a front desk coach or training before we add any 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?

Three flat packages, identical across every LeadGenBud vertical. Starter is $897/month (audit + launch kit, no media spend required), Growth is $1,497/month (managed operator + media spend at cost), and Business Pro is $2,497/month with a one-time $2,997 onboarding (full stack, multi-location, reputation engine). Cancel any time with 30 days' notice.

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.
