When asking about the cost of our services, it’s important to understand that it’s similar to a patient calling your practice and asking “what do you charge for dentistry?” Just as the cost of dental care varies depending on the patient’s situation, the same applies to our services. Monthly retainers usually range from as low as $500 to $5000+ per month, and our services are tailored to match your individual goals and the results you’re aiming to achieve. Some dentists may have more modest goals which generally require less spending and can be accomplished with more straightforward efforts. Others might have more ambitious targets that necessitate a larger investment. It’s best to reach out to us with where your practice is at in terms of patient flow and where you’d ideally like to get to so we can determine what budget and timeline would be realistic to achieve your goals.

To ensure the best results in growing your dental practice, we emphasize the importance of a committed partnership. Experience has shown us that significant, long-term growth cannot be achieved overnight or in a short few months. Effective marketing requires consistency and dedication, and typically, results begin to materialize over a period of time rather than immediately. For this reason, our approach is based on a minimum six-month engagement. This duration allows us to thoroughly develop and implement a strategy and gives your team ample time to effectively utilize our tools and see tangible improvements. Our aim is to work with our clients over the long term to ensure sustained success. If you’re just looking to “test the waters” and try some marketing for a month or two to gauge the results, we’re not going to be the right fit for you.

At RevUp Dental, we do not guarantee specific results or offer a “magic pill” solution for rapid growth. While our data, case studies, and client testimonials consistently demonstrate significant growth, it’s important to recognize that successful marketing requires a team effort. For example, it doesn’t matter how effective we are at getting the phone to ring with new patients if the staff who answer the phone create a poor first impression and those patients decide to book elsewhere. There are other external factors we can’t control such as local competition intensity, the number and quality of potential patients in your area, the reputation your practice has in the community, etc. We aim to set realistic expectations right from the start. We avoid overpromising and under-delivering, a common issue in the marketing industry. Our focus is on working with dentists who understand that improvement requires a commitment to addressing unique challenges and making continuous enhancements for sustainable long-term growth.

Effective marketing is very much a team effort, requiring all hands on deck. To enhance your practice’s digital reputation, you’ll need to actively participate in capturing patient testimonials on video, creating educational content, and gathering Google reviews regularly. These tasks are crucial for your business’s growth. Think of it like a gym membership: just as a gym can’t guarantee fitness solely through membership purchase, the success of your marketing efforts depends significantly on your involvement. Regular and committed participation—similar to working out several times a week—leads to noticeable improvements, while minimal effort can make achieving your goals an impossible task. Your active engagement is essential, as you truly get out what you put in.

The timeline for seeing results can vary significantly based on several factors. For example, a brand new start-up clinic may find that achieving a strong organic ranking on Google takes longer, as Google’s algorithms tend to favor websites with a proven track record, especially in industries like medical, finance, or nutrition. In contrast, more established practices with older websites may have a slight advantage. Typically, you may start noticing some initial improvements within the first 3-6 months. However, more substantial results are commonly observed between the 8-12 month mark. This timeline reflects the time needed for a website to benefit from earlier optimization efforts. Marketing is a lot like farming. You plant the seeds in the spring and harvest the crops in the fall.

At RevUp Dental, we firmly believe in the principle of “Data, not feelings.” Clear, precise data is crucial for identifying what might be hindering the growth of your practice. To track results effectively, we employ several methods:

• Call Monitoring: We monitor inbound calls from new and existing patients to your office, recording each interaction. This allows us to analyze the details of every phone conversation and provide you with a detailed performance report that includes a variety of key metrics such as:

  • New Patients

    • How many new patients called your practice?

    • How did those people find your practice?

    • What were they looking for?

    • Who did they speak with on your team?

    • Was your team successful in booking the appointment? If not, what happened? What can they do better next time?

  • Existing Patients

    • How many existing patients called your practice?

    • How many of them booked an appointment?

    • How many people called to cancel?

    • How effective were your staff in rebooking cancellations?

• The goal of our services is to show our clients that for every dollar invested into marketing, it is producing a tangible and measurable return-on-investment. Our data also aims to show dentists where the bottlenecks are in their  practice and to create a game plan for how they can unlock further growth.

• Website and SEO Tracking: We continuously monitor your website’s performance and its search engine rankings. We utilize both internal tools and external platforms to track and report on your site’s performance every month.

Yes, RevUp Dental helps manage your social media. We believe social media, like your website, plays a crucial role in building your digital reputation. There are two main approaches to social media: paid advertisements and organic content. At RevUp, we don’t strongly advocate for paid advertisements because they are not the primary drivers of new patients.

Instead, we focus on a more sustainable and cost-effective strategy: posting team-oriented photos that showcase the personalities within your practice. Our research shows that these types of posts generate stronger engagement because they align with the original purpose of social media, which is to highlight human interactions, rather than bombarding followers with sales-oriented content.

When you work with RevUp, you’ll not only have plenty of ideas for content to share but also our team to assist with editing and posting photos and videos. This approach ensures your social media presence is authentic and engaging, ultimately enhancing your practice’s digital reputation.

Yes, RevUp Dental can take over your existing website, depending on the content management system (CMS) it was built on. Most websites are created using WordPress, which is a widely-used platform. However, like any system, WordPress requires regular updates to stay secure and function properly.

Think of it like apps on your iPhone. As iPhones get new software updates, some older apps may no longer work because they haven’t been updated to match the new system. The same can happen with WordPress websites. If your site uses older plugins (which are like mini-apps for your website), they might not be compatible with the latest version of WordPress, causing issues with how your site runs.

Another reason to keep WordPress updated is security. When WordPress releases new versions, they also release documents detailing the vulnerabilities found in the old versions. This means if your site is running an outdated version, it’s more susceptible to breaches and hacking attempts. To avoid this, we’ll assess your current website and plugins to determine if they’re up to date and secure, and we’ll advise whether a new website is necessary.
