How it works
Tracked, Answered, Clicked: the first steps in San Jose
We build the path from search to booking one step at a time. For San Jose, CA, these steps come first.
Tracked
Each call, form and booking is tied to the keyword, ad or listing that produced it, so spending follows what works.
Answered
An AI front desk answers calls and chats after hours and during busy stretches, answers common questions and offers consultation times.
Clicked
Google Ads and optional Facebook ads aimed at the consultations you want to grow, such as braces, clear aligners and adult orthodontics, sent to matching pages.
The whole method is on the orthodontics marketing page.
Where patients leak
Three leaks we look for in San Jose
Referral dependence and weak visibility
Many practices rely on referring dentists. Strong referrals help, but patients also search directly, and a thin Maps profile gives that demand to competitors.
Two audiences, one website
Parents searching for a child and adults searching for themselves ask different questions. A site that speaks to only one of them loses the other.

FAQ
Orthodontics marketing in San Jose: questions
How do people in San Jose find an orthodontics practice?
Most start with a phone search and choose from the Google Maps results for the place they are standing. In the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA metro area those results change from neighborhood to neighborhood, so we build your profile, reviews, pages and ads around each area you serve.
Do you work with healthcare practices in California?
Yes. 3 practices on our client wall are in California: Daryl Cranon DDS (Los Angeles), Waddell Wellness and Performance (Laguna Niguel), Advanced Health Center (San Jose). Our client wall lists them with their websites.
Do I need to meet you in person?
Not at all. Practices in California and elsewhere work with us over video, phone and shared dashboards.
How long until I see movement in San Jose?
Paid ads and call handling can show results within weeks. Maps and search position build over months. We set 90-day checkpoints so you see what has moved.
What should an orthodontic marketing agency actually do?
It should get you found by local families and adults, send paid traffic to the right treatments, make it easy to request a consultation, and show which of those efforts produced appointments. If it cannot show that last part, the rest is guesswork.
