Background and common problems

Dental growth depends on being found locally, trusted quickly, and easy to book. We connect search, ads, website conversion, and human follow-up into one pipeline measured by appointments, not impressions.

A patient looking for an implant consultation and a parent searching for a pediatric dentist on a Saturday morning follow very different paths. Restorative, cosmetic, implant, and family patient journeys each need their own pages, messages, and follow-up. Treating them all as "dental leads" wastes budget and attention.

Zincat builds dental marketing around those journeys. We strengthen your local search presence and Google Business Profile, run focused search campaigns, build service-area landing pages, and connect every inquiry to a follow-up process so leads become appointments. Reporting covers inquiries, response, and bookings your team confirms.

  • Ads running without call tracking
  • Website visitors who never call or book
  • Fewer recent reviews than nearby offices
  • Leads answered hours later or not at all
  • Recall patients drifting away
Illustrative Patient Journey

Illustrative Scenario — Not a Client Result. A fictional adult searches for implant options near work. They find a service page from a local search result, read about the consultation process, and submit a form at 7:40 p.m. The next morning a trained coordinator calls within the practice’s contracted window, answers administrative questions, and books a consultation. A reminder is sent with consent the day before. After the visit, a review request is sent to every patient, not only satisfied ones.

Ways to engage

All solutions & engagement models

Prices are illustrative starting points pending management approval and are confirmed only in a written proposal.

Do you guarantee new patients?

No. We commit to the work, tracking, and honest reporting. Results depend on your market, services, reputation, and how inquiries are followed up.

Who owns our Google Ads and Business Profile?

You do. Your practice should own every account. We work through delegated access that you can remove at any time.

Can you use our before-and-after photos?

Only images you own with documented patient consent and only where platform policy allows. We avoid misleading edits or claims.

Is ad spend included in your fee?

No. Ad spend is paid directly to platforms and is separate from management fees.

Do you build websites?

We build landing pages and improve conversion on existing sites. Full website projects are scoped separately.

How do you know which leads booked?

We combine call tracking and form data with booking confirmations from your team or scheduling system where access allows. Without that data, we report inquiries and say so.
