The Challenge

This dental clinic had excellent service and happy patients, but they were invisible online. Their main challenges:

Not ranking for local searches like "dentist near me" or "dental clinic [city]"
Only 18 Google reviews (competitors had 100+)
Outdated website with no mobile optimization or online booking
Dependence on referrals—no consistent patient acquisition system

The clinic was averaging 15-20 new patients per month, mostly from word-of-mouth. They needed a predictable system to fill their schedule with high-value patients.
