How far from Alto will my ads reach?

We set a custom radius based on how far patients in Cherokee County and surrounding areas will realistically drive for dental care. Usually that's somewhere in the 15-30 mile range, but we adjust based on what the data tells us. No point advertising to someone three counties away.

Can I run Google Ads without a website?

Technically yes, but it's a bad idea. Google Ads sends people somewhere when they click. If that somewhere is a bare-bones page with no way to book an appointment or see what insurance you take, you paid for a click that goes nowhere. The website is where the conversion happens.

How fast will I see new patients from ads?

Ads can start generating clicks within days. Turning those clicks into booked appointments depends on your website, your offer, and your area. Most dental campaigns need two to four weeks of data before we can really start dialing in what works. It's not instant, but it's faster than SEO.

What if I've run Google Ads before and they didn't work?

That's common. Usually the issue is broad keyword targeting, no negative keywords, poor geographic settings, or a landing page that doesn't convert. We'd look at what was set up before and identify where the budget was leaking. A bad first experience doesn't mean ads can't work — it means they were set up wrong.

Do I set my own ad budget with Google?

Yes. Your ad spend goes directly to Google and you control the daily cap. Our management fee of $750/mo is separate. We'll recommend a budget based on your goals and your market, but the final number is always your call.

The Problem with Running Your Own Ads

Google makes it very easy to start spending money. That's the product working as designed. You pick a few keywords, set a budget, and Google happily burns through it. Whether those clicks turn into patients sitting in your chair is a different question entirely.

What Goes Wrong for Dental Practices

A dentist in a town like Alto — population small enough that everybody recognizes each other at the grocery store — has a specific challenge. Your patient pool draws from Cherokee County and the surrounding area. That means your ad targeting has to be precise. If your campaigns are showing to folks in Nacogdoches or Jacksonville who'll never make the drive, you're paying for nothing.

Keyword selection is the other place things fall apart. "Dentist near me" sounds obvious, but the cost per click on broad terms like that can eat a budget fast. And half those clicks are people looking for something you don't even offer. Meanwhile, more specific terms — teeth whitening, dental implants, emergency dentist — tend to convert better and cost less. But you have to actually know which ones to bid on and which ones to exclude.

Then there's the landing page problem. If someone clicks your ad and lands on a page that doesn't have online booking, doesn't show your insurance info, and doesn't make it dead obvious how to become a patient, that click was wasted. The ad did its job. The page didn't.

How We Run Dental Ads That Actually Work

We build campaigns around the services that actually bring patients through the door. Cosmetic work, cleanings, emergency visits — each one gets its own ad group with its own keywords and its own landing page strategy. Your before-and-after gallery, your patient forms, your insurance list — all of that becomes part of the conversion path, not just decoration on your website.

Geographic targeting gets locked down tight. Alto and the surrounding communities. We set radius targeting that makes sense for how far people will actually drive to see a dentist, and we exclude areas that don't. No wasted impressions in Dallas. No clicks from Houston.

We watch the numbers weekly. Cost per click, cost per lead, which keywords are converting and which ones are just expensive. When something isn't working, we adjust it. When something is working, we put more behind it. That's the job — not setting it up and walking away.

Our ads and SEO management starts at $750/mo. That covers the ongoing campaign work, the adjustments, the reporting. Your actual ad spend with Google is separate and up to you. If you need a website that can actually convert the traffic we send, a full site starts at $1,500 and takes about a week.

You pay Google for clicks. You pay us to make sure those clicks are worth something. That's the arrangement.
