A letter from Chinmay Belhe
Dear Practice Owner,
Your practice is leaking patients. Not because you're a bad dentist. Because no one showed you where the leak is.
You didn't go through dental college to become a marketer.
You did it because you love this. The craft. The precision. But right now you're running experiments that cost money and time you don't have.
Here is the truth about the 80/20 rule. 620+ practices in Austin are all chasing the same patients. But 80% of all new patient bookings go to just 20% of the practices. The ones who show up on Google. The ones with reviews. The ones whose websites actually convert.
We will show you what your 20% is: the two or three things that, if fixed, would change everything. For free. No pitch. No catch.

Dear Practice Owner,
Running a practice in Austin is hard. Really f*cking hard.
Your practice is leaking patients.
Not because you're a bad dentist. Because no one showed you where the leak is.
You didn't go through dental college to become a marketer.
You did it because you love this. The craft. The precision. Watching a patient leave with a smile they were too embarrassed to show six months ago.
But right now?
You're spending more time worrying about where the next patient is coming from than actually practising dentistry.
You're working long days. Alone.
Running experiments that cost money and time you don't have.
Google Ads that drain your budget with zero follow-through.
“SEO packages” that promise page one and deliver a monthly PDF no one reads.
And every time you try something new, a DSO chain opens another location down the road and out-spends you.
It is exhausting.
And the worst part?
You started this to do work you love. Not to become a digital marketer.
Here is what we believe.
You should not have to choose between running your practice and growing it.
So we built a fix.
We take the messy, expensive parts of dental marketing: Google rankings, local SEO, review generation, competitor analysis. And we diagnose exactly what's broken. End to end.
You stay focused on dentistry. We make sure the phone rings.
Here is the truth about the 80/20 rule.
620+ practices in Austin are all chasing the same patients. But 80% of all new patient bookings go to just 20% of the practices. The ones who show up on Google. The ones with reviews. The ones whose websites actually convert.
One spot is open for us to find out exactly what your 20% is: the two or three things that, if fixed, would change everything.
We will show you what it is. For free. No pitch. No catch.
Just the truth, mapped to your numbers.

P.S. The diagnosis is genuinely free. If we're not the right fit, you still walk away with a clear plan. Yours to keep.
Live Market Snapshot · Austin
Dental marketing and SEO in Austin
Austin is a major dental market with over 620 practices competing for the same patients. In a market this large, most practices blend into the noise — running the same generic ads, chasing the same keywords. The ones breaking through are the practices that have a crystal-clear picture of where their patients come from and systematically optimise every channel.
Travis County had 776 dentists in Texas' 2019 count, about 61 per 100,000 residents, and neighboring Williamson County (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown) ran even higher at about 67. Both rank in the top ten of Texas's counties for dentists per resident, well above the state average of 48, which makes the Austin metro a crowded market for its size.

The reality
Of those 9,000+ monthly searchers, fewer than 50 will find your practice.
The other 9,000 are calling someone else. A diagnosis tells you exactly which leak to plug first.
0.56%Capture rate: 50 of 9,000+ monthly searches
Market estimates for Austin. Your diagnosis uses your own local competitors.
The question is: how many of them are finding you?
Which channel should an Austin practice fix first?
Austin practice owners search for help with nearly every channel: Google Ads, social media management, email marketing and SEO. They all work in the right order and waste money in the wrong one. Social posts can't fix a Maps listing with too few reviews, and ads can't fix a website that doesn't book. The diagnosis tells you which channel to fix, or fund, first.
Six questions. Be honest. See where patients might be slipping away.
Each question is a checkpoint from real clinic audits. Answer “No” and you'll see how common that leak was.
Your homepage shows a “book” or “call” button without scrolling on a phone
Your site loads in under 3 seconds on mobile
Mobile visitors can tap your number to call
Your Google Business Profile has the right primary category and is fully filled out
Your star rating is at least as high as the top-ranked practice near you
You run a complete 6-month recall reminder system
Answer the 6 questions. It takes about a minute.

Not all free audits are equal
A diagnosis, not a sales funnel dressed up as one.

|---|---|---|
| Built from | Generic industry benchmarks | Your practice's own data |
| Compares you with | Nobody in particular | The practices ranking above you in Austin |
| Recommendations | Point to whatever the agency sells | Ranked by revenue impact, cheap wins first |
| Who looks at it | A template with your logo pasted on | Reviewed personally by Chinmay |
| Afterwards | A sales call booked before you've read it | An optional 20-minute call. No pitch |
| If nothing's broken | Something always is | We tell you that too |

Common Questions
We Get It. Here Are Honest Answers.
Still unsure? The diagnosis is free, and the plan is yours to keep either way.
Get my free diagnosisDo you work with dental practices in Austin?
Yes. We work with practices in Austin and across Texas, including San Antonio, Houston and Fort Worth. Every diagnosis is built from your own local competitors, not a national template.
Should an Austin dental practice invest in email marketing or social media?
Both work best with patients you already have: recalls, reactivation and treatment reminders. New patients mostly come from Google. The diagnosis shows whether your bigger leak is getting new patients in or keeping existing ones coming back. See dental patient retention.
Is Google Ads worth it for Invisalign or implants in Austin?
High-value treatments are where ads can pay back fastest, as long as the landing page and follow-up are ready to turn the enquiry into a consultation. The diagnosis checks those before you spend.
Do you work with practices in Round Rock and Cedar Park?
Yes. We work with practices across the Austin metro and Williamson County. Your diagnosis compares you with the practices competing for patients near your address.
What exactly do I receive in the diagnosis?
A 12-page PDF audit covering all 6 leak areas, a prioritised action list with effort × impact scoring, and an optional 20-minute call to walk through findings together. Free. Yours to keep whether or not we work together.
Is the Growth Diagnosis really free?
Yes. No credit card, no hidden fees. We audit your online presence and deliver a custom growth plan because demonstrating what we find is more convincing than any sales pitch.
How much of my time does it take?
3–4 minutes to fill the form. We do the rest: audit your practice's online presence, local competitors, and patient journey. You receive your plan within 24 hours. There's an optional free 20-minute walkthrough call.
Will this work for my specific practice in Austin?
The diagnosis is built specifically for Austin. We look at the 620+ practices in your market, check local search rankings, analyse your top competitors, and tell you exactly what's working and what isn't. It's for your specific situation, not a generic template.
What does the Growth Diagnosis actually include?
Your diagnosis covers six areas: (1) Google Business Profile visibility score, (2) website conversion audit, (3) local SEO keyword gap analysis, (4) patient follow-up flow assessment, (5) a competitor positioning map, and (6) your online reputation score. All prioritised by revenue impact and delivered within 24 hours.
How do you compare against other dental marketing agencies?
We've published an honest side-by-side comparison covering pricing, contract terms, dental specialisation, and attribution, including our own limitations. See the full agency comparison → before committing to anyone.
What if I've already tried marketing and it didn't work?
We hear this constantly. Most practices have tried something that didn't work: usually the wrong channel at the wrong time, or upstream conversion leaks that made the spend ineffective. The diagnosis shows you which applies to you before you spend another dollar.
What makes the Austin dental market unique?
Austin has 620+ dental practices competing for roughly 9,000+ local searches per month. Only 3 practices appear in Google's local 3-pack for any given search. The margin between visible and invisible is determined by a handful of technical signals most practices never audit.
What happens after the diagnosis?
You receive your custom growth plan to keep regardless of next steps. If there's a clear fit for working together, we'll say so honestly. No pitch, no pressure, no unsolicited follow-up calls. The plan is yours whether you implement it yourself, with us, or with someone else.

“I started this after watching a dentist spend thousands on an ‘SEO agency’ — three blog posts, a report no one could read, zero new patients. I rebuilt the whole thing for free. That diagnosis became this. Every audit I deliver, I read myself. If I wouldn't send it to a friend, it doesn't go out.”
