Can a $5,000 marketing budget over 90 days genuinely bring new patients through your front door is it a waste of money?
In this episode, Michael sits down with Lamar Woods of Adhere Patient Management to strip away the guesswork. Lamar shares what truly moves the needle in dental practice marketing (and here’s a hint: it’s not just impressions or clicks.) He unpacks the exact metrics that signal a win by the 90-day mark, focusing on predictable lead flow that turns into real-life appointments and patient visits, not just empty calls or unqualified leads.
Lamar dives deep into the essentials every dental practice must have before investing a dime, like a trustworthy, conversion-ready website and robust call tracking. Discover common pitfalls that sabotage new patient bookings, especially at the front desk, and why scripts, coaching, and call reviews are non-negotiable when call volumes spike. You’ll walk through the recommended $5,000 marketing playbook, from campaign breakdowns on Google Search to step-by-step expectations at 30, 60, and 90 days, plus the realities of ad spend and diminishing returns. Whether you’re frustrated by flat results or hungry for predictable patient growth, you’ll leave this episode ready to take control of your marketing ROI.
