Where patients leak
Three leaks we look for in St. Louis
Consultation requests that wait
A parent who fills out a form on a phone often contacts two or three practices. The one that responds first, with open times, usually gets the visit.
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.
How it works
Tracked, Clicked, Reassured: the first steps in St. Louis
Patients move from search to appointment in six steps. Here are the ones we would start with in St. Louis.
Tracked
Each call, form and booking is tied to the keyword, ad or listing that produced it, so spending follows what works.
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.
Reassured
A fast orthodontic website with your doctors' training, your technology, how consultations work and honest information about payment options.
The whole method is on the orthodontics marketing page.

FAQ
Orthodontics marketing in St. Louis: questions
Is my practice too small or too big for this?
We build the program around your capacity and goals. A St. Louis practice with one location and a practice with several both start with the same audit.
Do you work with healthcare practices in Missouri?
Yes. One practice on our client wall is in Missouri: Jackson Healing Arts (Jackson). Our client wall lists them with their websites.
How long until I see movement in St. Louis?
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.
Where do St. Louis patients look first?
Usually a Google search on a phone, then the Maps listings, reviews and a quick look at the website. Our work covers each of those steps.
Do orthodontic Google Ads and Facebook ads both make sense?
Google Ads reaches people searching right now. Facebook ads suit awareness and offers, such as adult treatment, among people who are not searching yet. Many practices start with Google Ads and add Facebook later.
