Before the examination

Give parents and adults useful answers.

Parents may need school-friendly scheduling, separate fee context for children and an explanation of observation. Adults may ask about work, options and financing. We build distinct routes that reflect your services and lead to an exam request.

Your fee range includes minimum, maximum, inclusions and conditions, subject to examination. Credentials, Phase 1 or Medicaid information appear when offered and supported. Clinically reviewed pages and the scheduling handoff help people understand their next step.

Two attended exams have different next steps. One has a treatment recommendation awaiting patient choice; the other has observation with clinician-approved recall. Neither has a recorded treatment start.

Coordinator support

Separate pending treatment from observation.

After an exam, pending treatment may involve questions about fees, insurance or scheduling. Observation follows a clinician’s recall plan. We give your coordinator distinct states and next contacts for both, with room for the patient to pause.

Exam attendance, treatment decision and actual start have their own records. We connect follow-up to those events and your agreed cadence. Treatment completion and debond remain later milestones, including any optional, neutral feedback request.

Search to the right page

Connect local discovery to the right exam route.

Search campaigns and profile information connect your services, specialist credentials and hours to the right exam page. We check that each request reaches the coordinator with a clear response owner and next contact.

Your growth plan reviews the pages, scheduling handoff and pending-decision follow-up together. You get the priorities for your practice, including the records needed to report exams, observation and treatment starts accurately.

Know what worked

See the path from inquiry to start.

Compare matching-period inquiries, confirmed exams, attendance, decisions and starts. Keep observation and unknown attribution visible. Practice records establish collections and treatment starts; patient identifiers, clinical notes and personal details stay out of marketing analytics.

  1. Inquiry
  2. Confirmed exam
  3. Attended exam
  4. Decision / observation
  5. Verified treatment start

We agree these reporting stages with your team and connect them to the records your systems keep.

Check the advertising route before launch.

Google lists orthodontists in Local Services Ads, subject to eligibility and screening, while excluding healthcare booking leads. Calls and messages are different lead routes. We verify the account and its available features rather than presenting a badge or booked exam as a default result.

A clear scope before we start

What we build first.

We build the agreed pages, test the inquiry handoff and review the first report with your team. Your website and accounts stay yours. Ongoing work and integrations are scoped separately.

  1. Parent and adult pages, exam requests and coordinator handoffs.
  2. Recurring SEO, campaigns and ad spend quoted separately.
  3. Scheduling and follow-up connections with separate pending and observation workflows.

Review specialist wording and fee context.

Georgia recognizes orthodontics as a dental specialty subject to qualifying education. Its dental advertising rules also address fee ranges. We review your credentials, inclusions, finance terms and actual offers with the practice before publication; this content review does not certify legal compliance.

Before you decide.

Straight answers about working together.

Do we need separate pages for parents and adults?

When their questions and services differ, separate routes can make the next step clearer. Parent content can explain observation and family scheduling; adult content can discuss the options your practice actually offers. We do not assign an appliance preference to an entire age group or publish unverified services.

Can you follow up with patients who have not started?

First distinguish recommended treatment awaiting a decision from clinical observation. Your coordinator approves the questions, cadence and contact preferences for pending patients; the clinician determines observation recall. Someone may decline or pause. Follow-up is decision support, and a response is not a treatment start.

Can you report cost per treatment start?

Only with a verified start event and a documented source-to-practice-system link. We use a defined cohort and period, keep unattributed starts visible and separate ad spend from wider management costs. Exam attendance, signed paperwork, financing and collected revenue may require different definitions and cannot be substituted for one another.

When should we ask for reviews?

Use a neutral, optional request after an appropriate completed milestone. A debond request follows the completed treatment milestone. Verify the recipient and permissions, and keep patient identity or treatment details out of public replies. We do not promise a star rating or a required review count.
