Elevate Dental team with happy patient in clinic
Elevate Dental

Elevate Dental is a Melbourne-based dental practice known for premium cosmetic and general dentistry with a patient-first approach.

The team combines modern techniques with genuine care, helping patients feel confident about their smiles. From routine check-ups to complex cosmetic procedures, they deliver exceptional results.

Beyond clinical excellence, they focus on creating a welcoming, stress-free environment where patients actually look forward to their appointments.

The Challenge

We knew our practice was delivering great results for patients. But the marketing side wasn't keeping pace with our clinical excellence. We needed a partner who could match our standards and help us reach more of the right patients.

Elevate Dental Leadership Team

Elevate Dental had built a reputation for exceptional patient care across Melbourne. The clinical side was thriving, but the marketing infrastructure hadn't evolved to match their growth ambitions.

The core gap? No revenue attribution. Standard agency metrics weren't designed for healthcare practices with longer patient journeys.

They also noticed a mismatch in patient quality. Their ideal patients valued premium care and comprehensive treatment plans, but generic Google Ads targeting was filling the calendar with price-shoppers who weren't the right fit.

From month two we were generating profitable returns. Over the partnership that followed, we layered in HIPAA-compliant revenue tracking, targeted campaigns for quality-focused patients, and conversion-optimized landing pages, compounding the result into a 902% cumulative ROI and two new locations.

If you run a dental practice, the same playbook is documented on our dental marketing services page.

What We Found in the Audit:

  • Standard agency reporting focused on vanity metrics rather than revenue attribution

  • No HIPAA-compliant tracking to connect ad spend to actual patient bookings

  • Generic targeting attracted price-shoppers instead of quality-focused patients

  • Website wasn't optimized for the premium patient experience they delivered

  • No scalable system in place for multi-location expansion

The Rollout That Made Growth Repeatable

How we improved ad relevance, Quality Scores, landing page conversion, SEO relevance, and multi-location scalability

Month 1

Tracking and quick-win audit

Reviewed conversion tracking, search terms, wasted spend, weak ad groups, poor landing page matches, and the gaps holding back ad rank and Quality Scores.

Month 2-3

Fixed the ad account foundations

Rebuilt campaigns around high-intent treatment categories, tightened keywords, cleaned up location targeting, and rewrote ads so each search had a more relevant message.

Month 3-6

Built the first service landing pages

Each priority service got a focused landing page with matching ad copy, local relevance, patient concerns, proof, FAQs, and a clearer booking path.

Month 6-12

Optimized around booked-patient value

Moved budget toward campaigns producing stronger booked-patient value, not just cheap leads. Cut back searches attracting price-shoppers.

Year 2

Repeated the playbook for location growth

Used the same ad and landing page framework to support new locations with their own local relevance and treatment focus.

Month 25-30

Documented and handed over the system

Documented the campaign structure, landing page framework, reporting rhythm, and decision rules, then trained their in-house team.

Within the first 6 months, Elevate Dental saw their cost per lead drop by 34% while lead quality improved dramatically.

Once the first location was profitable, we used the same playbook to open their second, then their third. Each new clinic launched with a proven marketing system rather than starting from zero.

The final milestone? Training their in-house team to manage everything independently. They now own a system that generates a 902% ROI without ongoing agency fees.
