Dental and medical · dentists, private practices, podiatry Bookings, reviews and nothing you would regret publishing

Our clinic work in aesthetics and sports medicine is the closest match for a dental or medical practice: patient stories on film, a booking journey that works on a phone, a review profile that is spotless and content that stays inside the rules. This chapter sets out how we would start.

From this sector
PlanThe approach we would propose, with honest expectations set in the free audit

The approach

Patient testimonial films with consent handled properly. A website that puts booking and the phone number first and explains treatments in plain language. A review request flow after every visit. Educational content for the questions patients search before they call. Google Ads only for treatments that can be advertised and searched for with intent, checked against the regulator’s guidance.

What we bring from clinics

Testimonial films for Revere Clinics, an aesthetics clinic. Web tools and marketing strategy for The MMA Clinic. A proposal built for a podiatry group covering content, social, SEO, paid, web and automation. The same three things decide it every time: careful claims, fast booking and patient stories told by patients.

Private practice marketing is a trust problem first

Patients choosing a private practice are managing worry more than they are comparing prices. Will it hurt, will I be judged, is this person any good, and what happens if something goes wrong.

Marketing answering those questions converts. Marketing that lists treatments and posts offers does not, because it addresses none of them.

What patients search before they call

Symptoms, treatment names, costs and comparisons, roughly in that order. Somebody with a broken tooth searches differently from somebody researching implants over six months, and one page will not serve both.

The urgent searches want your phone number, your opening hours and whether you can see them today. The considered searches want an honest explanation of the treatment, what it costs, how long it lasts and what the alternatives are. Two pages, two jobs.

Advertising rules for dental and medical practices

Regulated professions have specific rules about how they advertise, what may be claimed and how before and after images can be used. Some treatments cannot be promoted to the public at all.

We check the guidance before producing rather than after, keep claims to what can be evidenced, and publish nothing without your sign off. An advert pulled by a platform, or a complaint to a regulator, costs far more than the campaign was worth.

Reviews and the recall list

Two assets most practices under use. Reviews arriving consistently, asked for on the day rather than in occasional pushes, do more for local visibility than any advertising budget.

The recall list is the other. Patients who came once and drifted are much cheaper to bring back than new ones are to find, and a simple recall sequence often pays for the rest of the marketing.

What we would do first

The audit: how patients find you now, what the booking journey looks like on a phone, what your review profile says. Then three patient films, the booking fix and the review flow, in that order.

Questions

Questions

How do we get more private patients?
Reputation and reassurance. Private treatment is a considered purchase people research properly, so the practice with recent reviews, clear pricing information, real photographs of the team and content that explains the treatment without frightening anyone wins the enquiry. Then a booking process that does not depend on someone answering the phone at lunchtime. Ads amplify that; they do not substitute for it.
What are the rules on advertising dental treatments?
The GDC expects advertising to be clear, accurate and not misleading, with the right registration details displayed, and the ASA codes apply to everything you publish. Some treatments cannot be promoted the way a practice would like, and any prescription only medicine cannot be advertised to the public at all. We check the wording, you sign it off, and we would always recommend your own compliance read as well.
Do Google Ads work for dentists?
For treatments that can be advertised and that people search with intent, yes, with tight geography and call tracking so you can see which enquiries turned into appointments. Clicks are expensive in this market, which is why the landing page and the phone answering matter more here than almost anywhere else. A campaign that generates calls nobody answers is money set on fire.
Have you worked with a dental practice before?
Not yet under our own name. Our clinic experience is in aesthetics and sports medicine, which shares the regulated advertising, the consent handling and the reputation work, and the audit will set honest expectations before you commit to anything.
How do you handle patient consent for filming?
Written consent before anything is filmed, the right to withdraw it afterwards, and anonymous formats where the patient prefers. Plenty of practices run entirely on clinician led content and never show a patient at all, which works perfectly well.
