Pay-Per-Click

Advertising for Dentists

Pay-per-click (PPC) is form of advertising provided by search engines, predominantly Google (Google Ads) and social media such as Facebook and Instagram. An ad appears in search results or on social media and the advertiser pays when someone clicks on the ad.

For instance, typing in “dental implants near Chicago” in Google gives various results. Usually there are one or more ads at the top, some ads in Google Maps and often ads at the bottom of the results.

PPC is a good way to quickly get your website to the top of search engine results.

Let's Talk

    Your campaign budget is tailored to your desired volume of new patients and your investment goals. We’ll provide expert guidance on the approximate spend needed to achieve your specific patient acquisition targets, acknowledging the increasing competitiveness in dental advertising.

    In addition to your advertising budget, we charge a separate monthly management fee. The specifics of this fee can be discussed during a personalized consultation, where we’ll explore your unique practice needs and marketing objectives. After an initial setup and optimization period, all agreements are month-to-month, offering you flexibility.

    Your website plays a vital role in converting ad clicks into new patients. We ensure your site has the essential marketing elements for optimal conversions, as an effective website can significantly increase patient calls. While we primarily focus on Google Ads, we often find that a strong, conversion-focused website is crucial for attracting higher-production or fee-for-service cases. We will thoroughly evaluate your current website to determine its readiness and suitability for our Google Ads campaigns, advising you on any necessary enhancements.

    Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click) is the most efficient and fastest way to generate an immediate, significant boost in new patient traffic. When paired with a conversion-optimized website, the results can be remarkably swift and impactful. Our Gilleard Marketing managers, with years of specialized experience, excel at creating and managing high-performing Google Ads campaigns tailored for all types of dental services. If you’re looking to supercharge your patient acquisition and marketing results, Google Ads is an essential strategy.

    An effective dental website clearly communicates who you are and the services you provide, building immediate trust. Prospective patients visit your site seeking answers, so a great website anticipates their questions and offers clear, concise responses. For instance, if you aim to grow your family dentistry practice, showcasing a picture of you interacting with children, accompanied by text detailing your philosophy and passion for treating young patients, can significantly resonate with visitors.

    Today’s prospective patients primarily turn to the web when seeking their next dentist. To capture their attention, it’s vital to establish a strong online presence through a website that is not only visually appealing but also strategically designed with compelling content that encourages them to stop searching and call your practice.

    Key digital marketing strategies like Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click advertising) are highly effective in increasing targeted traffic to your website. Additionally, traditional non-digital marketing methods can still play a significant role, particularly for attracting new patients interested in high-end dental services such as dental implants and complex periodontal treatments.

    One of the key advantages of Google Ads is its speed. You can typically start seeing new patient inquiries within the first few weeks of launching your campaign. Consistent optimization over 2-3 months generally leads to more stable and predictable patient flow.

    Transparency and measurable results are fundamental to our approach. We implement robust call tracking on all your campaigns, allowing us to accurately attribute incoming patient calls directly to your Google Ads efforts. You’ll receive regular, detailed reports showing key metrics like clicks, impressions, cost, conversion rates, and new patient inquiries, so you always know your return on investment.

    Google Ads (PPC) provides immediate visibility by paying for top search results, quickly driving targeted traffic. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on improving your website’s organic ranking over time, which takes longer to see results but provides long-term, unpaid traffic. Both are powerful, and often complementary, but Google Ads delivers faster patient acquisition.
