For New York dental practices
Done-for-you search campaigns that bring in new patients, from a team that has helped 435+ dental practices grow. You own the ad account, you pay Google directly, and your report shows calls and bookings, not clicks.
Your client dashboard
Every client gets a private dashboard that answers one question first: how many new patients did my ads bring in, and was it worth it? No jargon, no impressions-for-the-sake-of-it.
Results
General, cosmetic and specialty dentistry across New York, measured in booked appointments, not clicks.
Why practices choose us
If you have been burned before, by a long contract, a report full of impressions, or an account you could not log into, this is set up the opposite way.
Hundreds of practices' worth of search data means we already know which searches book patients (emergency, implants, Invisalign, new-patient exams) and which quietly burn budget.
Campaigns are built inside an account registered to you. If you ever leave, every keyword, ad and conversion history stays with you.
Our management fee is quoted up front. Your ad budget is billed by Google to your card, with no markup and nothing hidden inside it.
Every ad gets a tracked phone number and form, so your monthly report shows calls and booking requests, and which campaign produced them.
No account manager relaying messages. Questions go directly to the person who built and optimizes your campaigns.
We target by keyword and location only, never by a person's health condition, so your campaigns stay compliant and keep running.
What we do
We do not sell SEO, social media or websites. Search ads for dentists is the whole job, and the scope below is included in every plan unless marked as an add-on.
A plain-language review of your current account: what is working, what is wasted, and what we would change first.
Keyword research by procedure, a radius around your office, and ad copy written for patients, not for Google.
Dedicated campaigns for implants, Invisalign, veneers and emergency visits, each with its own budget and tracking.
Tracked numbers and forms on every ad, so you know which campaign made the phone ring.
Location assets, hours, categories and photos tuned so your ads and your map listing work together.
Specific changes to the page your ads send people to. A full landing page build is available as an add-on.
Ongoing removal of searches that cost money but never book (jobs, schools, DIY, out-of-area).
Calls, bookings and cost per new patient, with a call to decide what to do next month.
Start with the audit. It is free, and you keep the findings whether you hire us or not.

An honest comparison. Good generalist agencies exist, and some practice owners run their own ads well. This is where the typical experience differs.
Agency and do-it-yourself columns describe common patterns, not any specific company.
How it works

Week 2
Campaigns go live at the budget you approved. You get a short note on what to expect in the first 30 days.

Every number below is an editable estimate, not a forecast for your practice. Change the assumptions to match what you know about your market and your patients.
Estimated, per month
At these assumptions, every month without campaigns is about 14 new patients and $17,143 that go to whoever is advertising instead.
Start with the free auditExcludes the management fee and chair-time costs. Results depend on your market, offer and front-desk follow-up; nothing here is a guarantee.
Same $2,500 budget and $1,200 per patient, with different cost-per-click and conversion assumptions. The gap between rows is mostly how fast the phone gets answered.

It depends on your market and the procedures you want more of. A single-location general practice commonly starts in the $1,500 to $3,000 per month range; competitive metro areas and implant campaigns run higher because each click costs more. Your free audit includes a specific recommendation with the reasoning behind it, and you set the final number.
Campaigns usually go live within two weeks of onboarding, and calls can start the first week they run. The first 30 to 60 days are about finding the searches that convert and cutting the ones that do not, so cost per new patient typically improves over the first few months rather than landing on day one. We do not guarantee a number of patients, and we would be cautious of anyone who does.
Usually not. Ads work best when they send people to a page that loads fast on a phone, shows your phone number and address at the top, and makes booking obvious. We will tell you what to change on your existing site; if a dedicated landing page is the better option, we can build one as an add-on.
You do. We build in an account registered to your practice and your billing, and we work inside it with manager access. If we part ways, you remove our access and keep every campaign, keyword and conversion record.
You're covered by our 30-day smile-back guarantee. If you're not happy for any reason in your first 30 days, email us and we refund your first month's management fee in full. Ad spend goes to Google directly, so that part isn't ours to refund, but you keep the account and everything we built in it.
Month-to-month. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice. There is no cancellation fee. Because the account is yours, nothing has to be rebuilt if you pause or move on.
Campaigns target by search term and location, never by a person's health condition, which is what Google's healthcare policies require. Call tracking numbers are set up so recordings can be turned off if your practice prefers not to keep them, and any call-tracking or form vendor that could touch patient information should sign a business associate agreement with you. We will walk through this at onboarding; this is not legal advice.
We work with dental practices across New York: New York City, Long Island, Westchester and upstate. Ads are targeted to a radius or set of zip codes around each of your offices, so you only pay for searches from patients who can actually reach you.
A senior strategist with 10+ years of Google Ads for dental practices and 435+ practices behind them, most of it inside a large agency where the account manager and the person doing the work were different people. Here they are the same person, and that is who answers your emails.
About an hour: a short onboarding call, access to your Google Ads account and Google Business Profile (or we create them with you), a card on file with Google for ad spend, and your decisions on procedures, radius and budget.
Free, no obligation
Send us your practice details and we will review your account, or your market if you have never run ads, and reply with what we would do first. You keep the findings either way.
Backed by our 30-day smile-back guarantee: happy, or your first month's fee back.
