Let’s face it, most dental advertising sucks. It’s boring, overly polished, and totally forgettable. But that doesn’t have to be the case for your practice. If you’re ready to ditch the cookie-cutter ads and implement strategies that bring in patients who stick around and spend, keep reading. From killer SEO tactics to retargeting ads that actually convert, we’re about to cover it all—plus how BoomCloud™ can supercharge your efforts with predictable recurring revenue.


Why Traditional Dental Advertising Doesn’t Cut It Anymore

Let’s call it like it is: the days of slapping your face on a billboard and hoping for the best are over. Dental advertising today is all about meeting your audience where they are—online. But it’s not enough to just show up; you’ve got to show up with purpose. That’s where strategies like SEO, retargeting ads, and patient membership programs come in.


SEO: Your Free Traffic Goldmine

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is like the flossing of dental advertising—often overlooked but ridiculously effective when done right.

Why SEO Works

  • It’s Free: Once you’re ranking, traffic costs you nada.
  • Patients Are Searching: “Dentist near me” is one of the most popular local search terms.
  • Builds Trust: Higher rankings = credibility.

Quick SEO Wins

  1. Optimize Your Google Business Profile: Complete every field and keep it updated.
  2. Use Local Keywords: Think “best dentist in [Your City].”
  3. Content Marketing: Write blogs about services patients actually search for.

With strong SEO, your website becomes a patient magnet. And when they land on your site, give them something irresistible—a patient membership program that saves them money and makes their lives easier.


Retargeting Ads That Don’t Annoy (Much)

Retargeting ads are like that friend who keeps reminding you to RSVP to their party. They might be a little persistent, but they get the job done.

How Facebook Retargeting Works

  • Target People Who’ve Already Engaged: Ads only go to those who’ve visited your site or clicked on your content.
  • Dynamic Ads: Show them exactly what they were looking at (think whitening services or Invisalign).
  • Call to Action: “Join our Membership Program Today and Save Big!”

TikTok Retargeting

  • Why TikTok? It’s not just for dances anymore; it’s where younger patients and families are.
  • Retargeting in Action: Show fun, engaging videos that highlight your team and membership perks.
  • Pro Tip: Keep it under 15 seconds and make it visually snappy.

Dan Kennedy’s No-BS Rules for Advertising

Dan Kennedy doesn’t mince words when it comes to advertising, and neither should you. Here are a few of his golden rules:

  1. Target Your Ideal Customer: Advertising isn’t about reaching everyone; it’s about reaching the right ones.
  2. Strong Call-to-Action: Always tell people exactly what to do—call, click, join.
  3. Test, Measure, Repeat: Good ads are built on data, not guesses.

Want to see these rules in action? Combine them with retargeting ads to drive patients to your membership program.

Case Study: 7 to 7 Dental

Let’s talk about a practice that used BoomCloud™ to dominate their market: 7 to 7 Dental.

They implemented BoomCloud™ to launch a patient membership program.

  • MRR: $162,000/month.

How Membership Programs Supercharge Advertising

When you advertise a membership program, you’re not just promoting your practice—you’re promoting a patient-centered experience.

  • Higher Conversions: Patients love saving money.
  • Loyalty Boost: Membership patients stay longer and spend more.
  • Scalable Revenue: MRR and ARR grow as your program grows.
