Question 1

What is PPC in dentistry?

Accepted Answer

PPC in dentistry is paid search advertising where your practice bids on Google, Bing, or Meta for terms like "dentist near me," "dental implants," or "emergency dentist," and pays only when a patient clicks. In dentistry the median click costs $8 to $15 in most metros, and $25 to $30 for insurance keywords like "dentist that takes Delta Dental." Done right, dental PPC services book new patients inside 14 days of launch. Done wrong, they burn $2K a month on ZIPs outside your service area with nothing to show at chairside. Our audit reads your last 90 days of spend, calls out the waste with a written finding, and rebuilds the account around procedure-first campaigns so every dollar chases a booked appointment tied to your PMS. Learn more about how Google Ads cost-per-click works before you write the next check to a dental PPC agency. On our dental PPC services roster, no account launches without a written finding on the last 90 days first.

Question 2

How much do PPC ads cost?

Accepted Answer

Most single-location US dental practices spend $2,500 to $6,000 a month on Google Ads once past the learning phase. Group practices and DSOs run $8K to $40K per location per month. That range moves with metro CPCs, insurance mix, and target procedures. Cleanings and exams justify a lower budget, since case value sits at $250 to $450 on the first visit. Our dental Google Ads audit reads your last 90 days of PMS bookings and quotes an ad-spend range calibrated to your production capacity and case mix. We do not spend past the chairs your front desk can fill, and dental PPC management fees stay flat at $999 to $4,500 a month with zero markup on media, so scaling ad spend never raises the retainer. That is why our dental PPC services retainer stays flat, not indexed to media spend.

Question 3

What is PPC management?

Accepted Answer

Dental PPC management is the weekly work of running paid search accounts for a dental practice. It covers keyword and negative-keyword sculpt, ad copy A/B tests, bid strategy tuning, landing page conversion iteration, competitor bid tracking through Auction Insights, and reporting cost per booked new patient back to the practice. A dental PPC management retainer at Redefine Web runs $999 to $4,500 a month, flat, with no percent-of-spend markup or hidden setup fee. Every account gets a written weekly note from the media buyer, PMS attribution wired to Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, or Curve, and a 14-day first-booked-patient guarantee in the contract. Read the Google Ads Help Center for how the ad platform structures bidding, then compare it to what you actually get on a dental PPC agency retainer, line by line, before you sign anything. Dental PPC services and dental PPC management describe the same weekly work under two brand labels.

Question 4

What does a PPC agency do?

Accepted Answer

A dental PPC agency runs your Google Ads, Local Service Ads, and Meta accounts for a monthly fee, then reports what those channels booked. The scope covers account audit, campaign build, procedure-first structure with dedicated landing pages, offline conversion setup back to your PMS, weekly bid and copy optimization, competitor Auction Insights review, and monthly performance reporting tied to booked patients rather than clicks. Redefine Web keeps every workstream in-house, so the media buyer running your dental Google Ads is the same person writing the ad copy, building the landing pages, and reading your Dentrix export every Friday morning. Retainer sits at $999 to $4,500 a month depending on ad spend and office count, and you own the ad account, the landing pages, and the CallRail data outright. No lock into a proprietary tech stack, no percent-of-spend markup, and the 14-day first-booked-patient commitment is written into month one of the contract. That is the shape of Redefine Web dental PPC services in practice.

Question 5

Is $20 a day good for Google Ads?

Accepted Answer

$20 a day is $600 a month, which is the lowest bound where dental Google Ads can produce a booked patient without Smart Bidding starving on data. At $600 a month you get 40 to 75 clicks on general dentistry keywords in most metros, which is enough to book one to three new patients if the landing page converts at 5% or better. Below that, Smart Bidding cannot train on enough conversions to tune target CPA, so results stay noisy from week to week. Launch-tier dental PPC management at Redefine Web starts at $999 a month and manages ad spend up to $2,000 a month, since $20 a day is too thin for procedure-specific campaigns like implants or aligners. If you want a real answer for your ZIP code and case mix, the audit reads your Google Ads Manager account and quotes a spend floor calibrated to production capacity, not a guess. Launch-tier dental PPC services stay honest about the spend floor at every quote.

Question 6

Which agency specializes in PPC?

Accepted Answer

Dental PPC agencies fall in three brackets. Freelancers and small shops charge $300 to $700 a month, usually flat, often without PMS attribution or LSA management. Specialist dental PPC agencies charge $800 to $2,500 a month, either flat or 15% of ad spend, with treatment-specific landing pages and CallRail. Large multi-service agencies push $3,000 to $8,000 a month and often lock you into 12-month contracts with slow account access. Redefine Web is a specialist dental PPC agency running paid accounts for US practices, at $999 to $4,500 a month, flat retainer, 30-day out after the initial term, PMS attribution included. The 15%-of-ad-spend model punishes practices that scale, since the fee doubles when you double spend even though the work does not. Flat retainer is the honest structure, and every dental PPC services retainer includes Google Ads, LSA, and Meta scope, so you never pay a per-channel add-on. Every quote for dental PPC services from Redefine Web comes with a media-spend recommendation grounded in your account history.

Question 7

How much do dental PPC services cost per month?

Accepted Answer

Redefine Web dental PPC services run on a flat monthly retainer, never a percent of ad spend. Four tiers. Launch at $999/mo suits single-location practices testing paid for the first time, with managed ad spend up to $2K per month. Growth at $1,499/mo scales single-location practices with Meta retargeting and per-treatment campaigns, managed ad spend $2K to $5K per month. Scale at $2,499/mo covers 2 to 10 location groups with per-office attribution and weekly optimization cadence, managed ad spend $5K to $10K per month. Enterprise starts at $4,500/mo and suits DSOs, specialist groups, and multi-location operators running $10K+ a month in managed spend, with production-capacity budgeting per site. Every tier includes ad copy, landing pages, LSA management, PMS attribution, weekly written notes, and the 14-day guarantee. Ad spend is billed separately at zero markup, so the invoice you sign is the invoice you pay. Retainer scales with office count and channel mix, not with your ad budget, which keeps incentives aligned with your booked-patient number and case value.

Question 8

How fast does dental PPC produce booked patients?

Accepted Answer

First booked new patient inside 14 days of launch is our commitment across all dental practices under active dental PPC management. Google Search and Local Service Ads produce faster than Meta, since search intent is already hot on Search from day one. LSA can produce a booked call in 48 hours once Google verifies your practice through a Google Business Profile license check. Meta retargeting kicks in 21 to 30 days out once the pixel has enough audience to warm up on lookalikes. Full campaign maturity, where Smart Bidding has enough conversion signal to hit target CPA, takes 45 to 60 days across the account. Median timeline across our dental book: booked patient one by day 8, CPA stabilized by day 42, 50% CPA drop by week eight against baseline. If the 14-day mark slips, your first month of dental PPC management is free, in writing. Every dental PPC services retainer at Redefine Web carries the same 14-day language, no matter which tier.

Question 9

Do you manage dental Local Service Ads (LSA) too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dental LSA management is part of every Redefine Web dental PPC retainer, not an upsell or an add-on channel. LSA runs at the very top of Google above the paid search ads and charges per call, not per click, usually $18 to $45 per booked call for general dentistry across US metros. The "Google Screened" badge on your LSA listing builds trust with older patients who filter results by badge before choosing. We handle license verification, background check submission, review sync from your Google Business Profile, and the weekly dispute-bad-charges workflow that most practices never run, which alone recovers 8 to 15% of monthly LSA spend on average. LSA is layered on top of Google Ads, not instead of it, so the two channels feed each other. LSA books high-intent calls at low cost, and Google Ads scales beyond LSA impression share limits, with both channels reporting booked patients back to your Dentrix or Open Dental record.

Question 10

Do you build dental PPC landing pages or send traffic to our website?

Accepted Answer

We build dedicated dental PPC landing pages per treatment, per location, and per campaign. Sending Google Ads traffic to your homepage cuts conversion rate in half. The homepage is built for brand browsing, not for booking a specific procedure appointment. Every landing page follows the same pattern. Above the fold: procedure name, price signal, three trust points, click-to-call button. Body: procedure detail, financing options, three patient reviews specific to that treatment, insurance list, and before-after gallery. Footer: booking form wired straight to your PMS with instant confirmation. Landing pages load under 2.1s on 4G mobile so Google Ads quality score cuts CPCs 20 to 40% out of the gate, per Core Web Vitals targets. Every page includes CallRail dynamic numbers, insurance pre-qualification UX, and Meta CAPI wiring for retargeting. Pages are yours to keep after the retainer ends, no proprietary lock-in, no separate landing page fee. Redefine Web dental PPC services always ship with a dedicated per-treatment landing page for the campaigns that spend real money.

Question 11

How do you track booked dental appointments from PPC clicks?

Accepted Answer

We connect Google Ads and Meta to your PMS through Enhanced Conversions for Google and Conversions API (CAPI) for Meta on the server side. Every booked patient in Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve, or Denticon fires back to the ad platform with the source campaign, keyword, and ad that drove it. Smart Bidding then trains on real booked patients, not form fills or click-to-phone events that never became appointments. Setup uses a hashed-email match key that stays HIPAA-safe, so no PHI leaves your system at any point in the flow. Reporting shows CPA per campaign against actual PMS bookings, not against click-to-phone events. The Friday weekly note ties every campaign line item to a booked-patient number pulled directly from your PMS export. That is what dental PPC agency reporting should be, but almost never is on other retainers. Cost per booked new patient replaces cost per lead on every board deck.

Question 12

Do you run dental Google Ads for procedures like implants and aligners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and per-procedure campaigns almost always beat blended "dentist near me" campaigns on ROAS. Dental implants earn median $3,500 to $8,000 per case, so a $200 to $450 cost per booked consult still hits 15x to 25x ROAS on the media. Clear aligners (Invisalign, ClearCorrect) run $180 to $320 per booked consult on our accounts. Same-day crowns, veneers, All-on-4, sedation dentistry, and pediatric each get a dedicated campaign, landing page, and ad copy that names the procedure and price signal in the H1. Money-keyword campaigns get higher target CPAs than general-dentistry campaigns since case value is 10x. Insurance-search campaigns (e.g. "dentist that takes Delta Dental") stay in a separate campaign with lower bid ceilings, since click cost is $25 to $30 and case value is closer to $300 than $5,000 on first visit. Bid strategy per campaign is tuned to procedure LTV, not blended account CPA, so implants scale faster than cleanings. Redefine Web dental PPC services split money-keyword and insurance-keyword campaigns on every account.

Question 13

What is the contract length for dental PPC management?

Accepted Answer

Redefine Web dental PPC management runs on a 6-month initial term. That length matches the time it takes for Google Ads Smart Bidding to fully mature on a dental account and for Meta retargeting audiences to build past the noise floor. After month six, the retainer rolls over with 30-day written notice on either side. There is no auto-renew clause, no cancellation fee, and no data ransom on the accounts. You own the Google Ads account, the Meta Business Manager, the LSA listing, the landing pages, and the CallRail number history from day one. If you leave, we hand over the account credentials and a written offboarding note that covers what campaigns are running, what tests are mid-flight, and what to watch on CPA over the next 30 days. The 14-day first-booked-patient guarantee stays in force for the first month of the term. That contract structure keeps the accounts we manage past year three on average.
