Struggling to Get More Patients? Here’s Why It’s Happening

You’re a great dentist. But that’s not enough to keep your chairs full.

If you’re:
👉 Getting patients some weeks and then crickets the next…
👉 Spending money on Google Ads that don’t bring results…
👉 Wondering why your website isn’t getting any leads…

Then you’re not alone. Most UK dentists we work with face the same challenges.

What’s Holding Your Practice Back?

Here’s the truth—word-of-mouth is too slow.
It used to work, but in 2024, patients are searching online first.

If your practice isn’t showing up on Google or your ads aren’t hitting the mark, your competitors are taking those patients.

The result?
❗️ Unpredictable revenue.
❗️ Empty slots in your schedule.
❗️ Missed opportunities to grow.

60% of patients prefer booking online, yet most dental practices don’t
leverage online marketing effectively.

3 Simple Ways to Fix This & Get More Patients

We’ve helped dozens of dental practices turn things around. Here’s how:
1. Get Found on Google with SEO

When patients search for a dentist in your area, do they see your practice—or your competitors?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps you rank higher so more patients find you.

How It Helps:
✔️ Brings in a steady flow of patients without spending on ads.
✔️ Puts you ahead of local competitors.
✔️ Builds long-term trust and authority.

Pro Tip: Focus on keywords like “dental clinic in {your-city}” or “dentist accepting new patients” to attract the right audience.

2. Optimize Your Google Business Profile

When someone searches “dentist near me,” your Google Business Profile (GBP) is often the first thing they see.

An optimized profile can turn that search into a booking.

How to Improve Your GBP:
✔️ Add clear photos of your clinic.
✔️ Get (and respond to) patient reviews.
✔️ Post regular updates and offers.

Practices with 100+ reviews attract 3X more new patients.

3. Use Paid Ads the Right Way

Google/Facebook Ads can deliver fast results—but only if you’re targeting the right audience.

How to Make Ads Work:
✔️ Target high-intent keywords like “Invisalign consultation near me.”
✔️ Retarget people who visited your site but didn’t book.
✔️ Create offers that solve real patient concerns.

A well-managed Google Ads campaign can deliver 4-5X ROI for dental practices.
