Problem

DRG Dentistry dba Definitive Dental provides specialty dental services to people of all ages in its state of the art office. The owners launched its website definitivedental.com two years prior to working with Coalition, but needed help in growing their brand, promoting the services offered, and generating new leads. Having worked with other marketing agencies, the practice did not see much growth in its key performance indicators (KPIs). We conducted an audit of the website which revealed no HTML sitemap, duplicate content were on category and blog pages, many of the images had no file names, missing headers and alt attributes, missing breadcrumbs schema, and slow page speed.

The client shared some of the goals they had for the marketing campaigns. Among them were growing new patients from 20 to at least 50 each month, improved ranking for related keyword queries in the local and surrounding areas, improved lead generation conversions, and improved website metrics. Some of the keywords targeted were: how to soothe itchy gums, grand prairie dentist, itchy gums, veneers grand prairie, dentures grand prairie tx, and affordable dental grand prairie tx.

Definitive Dental also faced challenges in engaging subscribers who signed to their monthly newsletters. There was no regular cadence of email and SMS communication. The client wanted to improve the brand’s communication across email and SMS that will remind existing and prospective patients of dental procedures, keep them updated with new or special offers, and monthly tips.

Solution

We conducted thorough keyword research to identify the most valuable terms searched by qualified leads. We also rewrote and expanded the Bing Maps for Enterprise API section of Microsoft.com with SEO-optimized content, including information for location intelligence, routing, and logistics. We began a targeted pay-per-click campaign and implemented conversion rate optimization updates as well.

Website Improvements

Our team made improvements to definitivedental.com. We added a custom and user-friendly Appointment form that allows patients to schedule their next visit, join the dental office’s mailing list, and request additional information all within a few minutes. Updates were made to improve mobile view and responsiveness. The homepage was amended to showcase the state of the art office and the specialty services offered. We developed and implemented a custom blog post template on the website and updated their video and FAQ schema.

We added several pages including the SureSmile, Dentures Implant, Dental Crowns and Bridges, Veneers, Welcome and Smile Makeover pages. An interactive Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) map was added and a pop-up was installed to allow users to add their email addresses to the practice’s email list.

Search Engine Optimization

Our SEO experts added optimized descriptions in the client’s Google Business Profile, i.e., users are able to quickly view the office’s address, phone number, business hours, and payment methods accepted. We developed a keyword strategy for Definitive Dental which included a keyword map, priority pages for specific keywords, and ongoing analysis strategy. We tracked the performance of each keyword, analyzed changes in the keywords over time and how the changes impacted the website’s SEO performance and search visibility, and developed future search optimization strategies.

Definitivedental.com’s link profile needed to be improved as its business profile was not pronounced across various websites. To build the best link building strategy for the practice, we analyzed the practice’s and its competitors’ link profiles. Spammy links were removed, and links directed to missing pages or redirects were taken out or updated. We pursued additional Public Relations (PR) opportunities and added high authority links. Definitive Dental’s link profile improved with the addition of several high authority links with credible outlets.

Paid Ads

We created several PPC specific landing pages and launched several campaigns for Definitive Dentistry. Several smart, performance max, and retargeting ads were created to further grow the brand’s metrics including lead acquisition, lead conversion, and connection rates. Other paid ad campaigns launched were Facebook Ads and YouTube Ads.

Email And SMS Marketing

Our email and SMS marketing team created automations for the brand’s new and current patients. We used split automation to segment new patients from existing patients, and delivered the best personalized email campaigns. We also prepared an email and SMS marketing calendar for Definitive Dental. A monthly appointment reminder was created for up to 7 procedures to help with repeated patient attendance.
