Dental Google Ads playbook
We segment by intent: (1) Emergency dental → call-only campaigns + LSA; (2) Cosmetic procedures (Invisalign, veneers, implants) → search ads to dedicated procedure landing pages; (3) New-patient general → search ads to free-consultation landing pages; (4) Insurance-driven → ad groups by accepted insurance plan.
HIPAA-aware tracking
Standard pixel-based tracking can leak PHI to ad platforms. We use server-side tracking via GTM Server, anonymized event data, and HIPAA-compliant form vendors (Jotform HIPAA, HubSpot Healthcare). Compliance documentation provided on request.
Why procedure landing pages matter
Generic 'dentist' landing pages convert at 3–6%. Procedure-specific landing pages (Invisalign, implants, emergency) convert at 8–18% because they match search intent precisely. We build one per procedure and one per accepted insurance plan.
Frequently asked
How much should a dental practice spend on Google Ads in Brentwood?
Productive range: $2,500–$7,500/month in media for single-location practices. Multi-location DSOs typically run $7,500–$30,000/month spread across locations.
Is LSA worth it for dentists?
Yes for emergency dental ('emergency dentist near me'). Less impactful for cosmetic procedures, where search ads with procedure-specific landing pages convert better.
How do you handle insurance ad targeting?
Ad groups by accepted insurance plan (Delta, Cigna, MetLife, Anthem, Blue Shield, etc.) with matching landing pages. 'Delta Dental dentist + city' queries convert at exceptionally high rates.
