Case Study: Increasing New Patient Consults – Multi-Channel Marketing with Hodges Dental Care

The Business Goal

Hodges Dental Care wanted one thing: more qualified implant consult requests—not just more traffic.

To get there, we built a multi-channel acquisition system that captures high-intent demand on Google, generates new demand on Meta, and strengthens long-term visibility through SEO.

Campaign window: September 1, 2025 – January 31, 2026

Dental implants are a premium, high-consideration service. Patients don’t always convert on the first touch—so relying on a single channel can limit volume and consistency.

The objectives were clear:

  • Increase implant consult inquiries (form fills, calls, and tracked conversions)
  • Lower friction for patients who aren’t ready to call immediately
  • Own more search visibility for implant-related queries over time
  • Build a repeatable, scalable marketing engine (not a one-off campaign)

The Strategy: A Revenue-Focused, Full-Funnel Launch

This campaign was designed to reach patients at three key moments:

  1. High-intent (Google Ads + Local)
    • Capture “ready now” searches like dental implants near me, implant dentist, etc.
  2. Demand generation (Meta Paid Social)
    • Put implants in front of ideal candidates, then convert with low-friction lead capture.
  3. Compounding visibility (SEO + Search Console + GBP)
    • Expand organic presence and strengthen local credibility signals.

How We Drove Results

We used Meta to generate consistent implant interest at scale and convert it through lead forms and website traffic. With the combination of a strong offer, and our high converting landing page, we were able to produce significant results for Hodges Dental Care. 

Performance highlights:

  • 169,000 impressions
  • 242 tracked conversions

This helped Hodges reach new prospective implant patients earlier in the decision cycle—then hand them off to search and follow-up to close the loop.

 Our paid social approach is full-funnel, connecting each stage of the customer journey from first exposure to your brand, through final conversion, into a revenue-driven system.

Google Search was built to capture demand already in-market: people actively searching for implant solutions and providers.

Performance highlights:

  • Impressions (+22%)
  • 274 tracked conversions (+58%)

The big win here is that conversions increased, meaning the account was producing more measurable actions tied to consult intent (calls/forms), even as the auction environment shifted.

SEO 

SEO supports implants especially well because patients research heavily before committing, and Google rewards practices that demonstrate consistency, trust, and relevance.

SEO / Organic performance highlights:

  • Total impressions (+613%)
  • Google Search Console clicks (+100%)
  • Organic sessions (+31%) 

Google Business Profile lift:

  • Interactions (+5.33%)
  • Direction requests (+71%)
  • Reviews (+213%) 

This is the “foundation layer” that reduces dependency on paid media over time and increases close-rate through trust signals. If you’re interested in learning more, click here to read about our Local SEO services.

The Results

Across channels, the campaign produced a stronger flow of measurable actions tied to new patient acquisition:

  • 497 total tracked conversions during the campaign window 
  • Paid Social delivered efficient reach, click volume, and conversions
  • Google Ads produced 274 conversions (+58%) from high-intent traffic 
  • SEO visibility expanded significantly (+613% impressions) to support long-term implant demand

Bottom Line

This wasn’t “run ads and hope.”

It was a full-funnel implant growth system:

  • Meta creates demand and captures leads efficiently.
  • Google Ads converts high-intent searches into consult actions.
  • SEO + GBP strengthens trust and visibility so performance compounds month after month.
