Case study details

Objective
Increase new patient acquisition and drive high-value treatment bookings across general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, and emergency services through Google Ads.

The Challenge

Smile Studio Dentistry is a full-service dental practice offering general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and emergency services. They needed to increase new patient acquisition and drive high-value treatment bookings across all service categories.

Our Approach

We launched multi-campaign Google Ads strategies capturing various patient intent levels, with separate optimization for each service category.

Campaign Structure

We segmented campaigns by service type and patient urgency:

  • Emergency dental (highest urgency): "emergency dentist near me," "tooth pain relief," "broken tooth repair"
  • Cosmetic dentistry (highest value): "teeth whitening," "veneers," "smile makeover"
  • General dentistry: "dentist near me," "dental cleaning," "family dentist"
  • Dental implants: "dental implants cost," "tooth replacement options"

This structure allowed independent budget control and bidding strategies based on each category's profitability.

Ad Copy & Messaging

Ad copy varied by campaign focus to match patient intent:

  • Emergency ads: "Same-day appointments," "Open weekends," "Pain relief available"
  • Cosmetic ads: "Transform your smile," "Flexible financing," "See your new smile"
  • General dentistry ads: "Accepting new patients," "Most insurance accepted," "Gentle family dentistry"

Bidding Strategy

We used Smart Bidding with Target CPA optimized for new patient appointments, with bid adjustments for:

  • Emergency searches (highest conversion rate and immediate revenue)
  • Mobile devices (phone call conversion intent)
  • Geographic areas within 10 miles of the practice

Landing Page Optimization

Intent-specific landing pages addressed each patient type:

  • Emergency pages: Prominent click-to-call buttons, same-day availability messaging, pain relief focus
  • Cosmetic pages: Before/after smile galleries, financing options through CareCredit, procedure explanations
  • New patient pages: Insurance acceptance information, first-visit specials, virtual office tour

Conversion Tracking

We tracked form submissions, phone calls, and online appointment bookings with call tracking to identify which keywords drove phone leads and their treatment value.

Geographic Targeting

We used radius targeting around the office location, focusing on the local service area where patients are most likely to choose a nearby dentist.

Retargeting

Remarketing via Google Display re-engaged website visitors who didn't book, showing special offers and appointment availability to bring them back.

Results

Through segmented campaign structure, urgency-based bidding, and conversion-focused landing pages, we generated $900,000 in dental treatment revenue with a healthy mix of emergency procedures, general dentistry, and high-value cosmetic treatments.
