How much should a Rusk dental practice spend on ads?

Depends on how aggressive you want to be, but for a town Rusk's size, you don't need a massive budget to see results. We'll recommend a starting number based on your goals and adjust from there. The management fee starts at $750 a month, and ad spend is on top of that.

Do I need a new website before running ads?

Not always, but sometimes yes. If your current site doesn't have online booking, clear service pages, or a way to track conversions, we're going to recommend fixing that first. Paying for clicks that land on a bad page is just expensive nothing.

Can you just run Facebook ads for my dental office?

We can, but Facebook alone usually isn't the best move for dentists. People don't browse Facebook looking for a dental cleaning. Search ads catch people with intent. We typically recommend Facebook as a support channel—retargeting, promotions, that kind of thing—not the main driver.

How long before I see patients from digital marketing?

Search ads can bring in calls within the first couple weeks if everything's set up right. SEO takes longer—usually a few months before you're ranking well for local searches. We'll be honest about timelines upfront so you're not sitting there wondering.

What if I tried Google Ads before and it didn't work?

That's common. A lot of dental practices set up a campaign themselves or had someone run it without much strategy. Wrong keywords, bad landing pages, no conversion tracking—any of those will burn through a budget fast. We audit what happened and build it right.

You're Already Paying for Marketing That Doesn't Work

Every month you keep running ads without a plan is another month of writing checks to Google and Facebook with nothing to show for it. That's not a marketing strategy. That's a donation.

What a Real Plan Looks Like for a Rusk Dental Practice

A dental practice in a town of Rusk's size doesn't need the same marketing playbook as a practice in a metro area. You need fewer channels, but the right ones. And you need them set up correctly from the start.

For most dental offices, that means Google search ads targeting people actively looking for a dentist in Cherokee County. Not brand awareness campaigns. Not boosted Facebook posts that get likes from people three counties away. Ads that show up when someone types "dentist near Rusk" or "emergency dental Rusk TX" into their phone. That's where intent lives.

We also look at whether email makes sense for your practice—appointment reminders, reactivation campaigns for patients who haven't been in for a while. And if your Facebook page is just sitting there, we can turn it into something that actually drives bookings instead of collecting dust.

How We Spend Your Money (and How You'll Know It's Working)

Here's the part where most agencies get vague. We don't. You'll know exactly where your ad budget goes, which campaigns are running, what they cost per click, and how many of those clicks turned into actual appointment requests. If something isn't converting, we kill it and move the budget to what is.

We manage your ads and SEO together starting at $750 a month. That covers the actual management—building campaigns, writing ad copy, adjusting bids, monthly reporting you can actually read. Your ad spend with Google or Facebook is separate and up to you, but we'll tell you exactly what we'd recommend based on your goals and what Rusk's market can support.

One thing that matters a lot for dental marketing specifically—your landing pages need to do real work. If someone clicks an ad for teeth whitening and lands on your generic homepage, that's a wasted click you paid for. We build pages that match the ad. Pages with online booking so patients don't have to call. Clear insurance info so they don't bounce wondering if you take their plan. Before-and-after galleries if you do cosmetic work. Pre-visit forms they can fill out from their couch.

And if your website itself needs work before we send paid traffic to it, we do that too. A full website with SEO built in starts at $3,500 and takes about a week or two. No point driving traffic to something that doesn't convert.

Rusk's got a tight community—folks talk, word travels fast around the courthouse square and out toward the railroad. But the people moving to the area or searching for a new dentist after a bad experience? They're on Google. That's the gap we fill.
