Your Growth Team
Your Growth Team is your dedicated marketing and growth partner. We handle the work outside your four walls — your Google profile, website, social media, reviews, and tracking — so your team can stay focused on patients. Everything we do is in service of one goal: filling your schedule with the right new patients.
Why Your Digital Storefront Matters
Before a new patient ever walks through your door, they meet you online. They check your Google listing, read your reviews, click through to your website, and sometimes look at your Instagram. That's your digital storefront — and if it isn't dialed in, the patient never calls.
Our job is to make sure that storefront is open, accurate, trusted, and easy to act on. Your job is to make sure the experience inside the four walls matches what we're showing the world.
Why We're Holding This Bar Now
SGA is putting real advertising dollars behind implant and cosmetic growth — TV, Google, and social campaigns that send high-intent patients to practices that are ready for them.
We only invest those dollars where the basics are solid. Implants, full-arch cases, and smile makeovers need more than visibility — ads pointed at a practice that can't answer the phone, book the appointment, or deliver a five-star experience are wasted money.
Get Gates 1–4 green and your practice is in line for that investment. That's what this briefing is for: showing you exactly where you stand and the shortest path through.
This is the framework behind everything in this report — the path every patient travels before they ever sit in your chair. The gates in the next section exist to protect specific stages of this funnel.
Click the framework to open it full-size.
The Gates to Unlocking New Patient Growth
Most dental practices do not need paid media dollars immediately. Before discussing Google Ads, Facebook campaigns, or accelerated growth investments, we focus on strengthening the operational and digital foundation that supports sustainable growth.
Marketing does not fix operational gaps — it exposes them. These Growth Gates help identify where friction exists in the patient journey so we can improve access, conversion, patient experience, and long-term growth performance before scaling demand.
01 Digital Storefront Visibility Awareness Layer Yellow
Can patients find and trust your practice online?
Your digital storefront is often the first impression a patient has of your practice. Before growth can happen, patients must be able to easily find accurate information, trust your brand, and confidently take the next step.
Why It Matters
Patients often decide whether to contact a practice before ever making a phone call. Inconsistent information, outdated branding, poor mobile experience, or weak visibility can create immediate drop-off.
Outcome
A strong, trustworthy digital presence that improves visibility, patient confidence, and conversion opportunity.
Your Digital Storefront — At a Glance
Website Yellow 61.3 / 100
The website has solid location info and a respectable services build-out, but the biggest drag right now is mobile performance (Lighthouse 37/100) and the lack of a true scheduling button. Doctor/team trust and patient resources are the weakest content areas.
| Section | Weight | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Location Information | 10% | 86 / 100 Green |
| Services | 15% | 80 / 100 Green |
| Technical Health | 15% | 75 / 100 Yellow |
| Security / Compliance | 5% | 70 / 100 Yellow |
| Conversion & Contact | 25% | 55 / 100 Yellow |
| Mobile / UX | 5% | 50 / 100 Yellow |
| Patient Resources | 10% | 43 / 100 Red |
| Social Proof | 5% | 42 / 100 Red |
| Doctor / Team Trust | 10% | 33 / 100 Red |
Top Critical Fixes (In Order)
- Lighthouse mobile performance 37/100 — LCP 18.2s, Speed Index 11s. Compress and lazy-load images, defer JS, enable CDN.
- Mobile viewport disables zoom — remove
maximum-scale/user-scalable=0for accessibility. - Lighthouse accessibility 75/100 + best practices 73/100 — remediate flagged findings.
- No "Schedule Appointment" button tied to a real booking flow in the markup — add a button wired to true online scheduling.
- No true online scheduling vendor detected on the site — implement LocalMed / NexHealth (Neurality stack).
- No emergency dental quick link or dedicated emergency page.
- Provider credentials (DDS/DMD) not listed on the team/bio page.
- Privacy Policy missing from footer.
- Homepage title >65 characters and meta description off — tighten both for SEO.
Google Business Profile Yellow 88 / 100 · Grade B
GBP is in good shape overall — NAP, categories, and review velocity are strong. The biggest item is a recommended GMB name update: the submitted name "Benner & Townsend Dentistry" should be confirmed as the live GMB name. Photos and description also need a small refresh.
| Sub-Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Name, Address, Phone (NAP) | 26 / 30 (missing photos sub-item, 0/2) |
| Category Selection | 20 / 20 (100%) |
| Description | 8 / 10 (missing 2-pt services/keywords sub-item) |
| Photos | 12 / 15 (80%) |
| Appointment Link | Deferred (manual review — Neurality in progress) |
| Review Velocity | 13 reviews / month Green (>10 threshold) |
What's Next on GBP
- Recommended GMB name update — submitted "Benner & Townsend Dentistry"; OM confirms and Growth submits the correction.
- Description refresh — add the missing services/keywords sub-item (worth 2 pts).
- Photos sub-item under NAP — add team/exterior/interior photos that meet the spec.
- Add appointment link once Neurality online scheduling is live on the website (ties to Gate 2).
Social Media Yellow Facebook only · 165 followers · dormant
The practice has a Facebook page with a history of strong organic content, but it has been dormant since May 2021. There is no Instagram account, and SGA does not currently have admin access to the Facebook page. Page name uses a "Dr.'s" prefix that is inconsistent with the website brand.
Current State
- Facebook: facebook.com/drsbennerandtownsend · 165 followers · last post May 2021 (dormant)
- Instagram: not yet established
- Access: SGA does not have Facebook admin access or Meta Business Manager access — required before any refresh or posting
- Branding: page name "Dr.'s Benner & Townsend" is inconsistent with website brand "Benner & Townsend Dentistry"
- History: strong organic content track record — opportunity to relaunch with the same authenticity
What's Next on Social
- Request Facebook admin access
- Create a dedicated Instagram account
- Link Facebook and Instagram via Meta Business Suite once both are in hand
- Refresh Facebook profile image, cover image, page name, and bio to match website branding
- Resume a regular posting cadence on both platforms once access is in place
- Promote the scheduling link on both platforms once Gate 2 is unlocked
02 New Patient Access Access Layer Yellow
Can patients easily schedule and be seen quickly?
Today's patients expect convenience, flexibility, and fast access to care. Even strong marketing cannot overcome limited availability or scheduling friction. This gate focuses on reducing barriers between patient intent and appointment availability.
Success Metrics
- 3rd Next Available NP Appointment ≤ 7 Days
- Online Scheduling Enabled
- Clear scheduling pathways on Website and GBP
What We Review
- NP appointment availability
- Online scheduling accessibility
- Phone response pathways
- Emergency and same-day availability
- Office hours and accessibility
- Schedule optimization
Where Benner & Townsend Stands
- NP availability ≤ 7 days: Yes Green
- Online scheduling vendor: Neurality — In progress (vendor confirmed in gates tracker)
- Scheduling button on website: Not yet deployed — needs button + embed
- Contact form on website: Live Green
- GHL: Not yet active Red
- Gap: Scheduling vendor is wired up at the vendor level, but the website booking button and embed are not yet deployed — that's the unlock for this gate.
03 Lead Response & Call Conversion Conversion Layer Yellow
Does the practice successfully convert demand into booked appointments?
Generating demand is only valuable if the office can consistently capture and convert incoming opportunities. This gate evaluates how effectively the practice responds to calls, forms, and patient inquiries.
Success Metrics
- Missed Calls < 18%
- New Patient Call Conversion ≥ 45%
- Fast response time to web leads and forms
What We Review
- Missed call percentage
- Call conversion performance
- Speed-to-lead processes
- Form response workflows
- AI answering and after-hours coverage
- Front office scripting and consistency
- Tracking and reporting visibility
Where Benner & Townsend Stands
- PeerLogic Phones: Live Green
- PeerLogic Analytics: Live Green
- Missed calls < 18%: Currently 0% Green — early June data; low call volume, monitor as volume builds
- Call conversion ≥ 45%: Currently 0% Red — early June data; front-desk phone training is the next step to lift conversion
PeerLogic is now live — call tracking is scoring how every inbound call is handled. This is the first month of data so volume is low; the conversion rate will stabilize over the next 30–60 days. Gate 3 is Yellow: missed calls are green, but NP conversion needs work. Front-desk phone training is the priority action to lift it toward the 45% target.
04 Patient Experience & Reputation Experience Layer Yellow
Does the patient experience create trust, loyalty, and referrals?
Long-term growth is fueled by patient experience. Practices that consistently deliver exceptional experiences generate stronger reviews, higher retention, and more referrals. This gate focuses on the patient journey after the appointment is scheduled.
Success Metrics
- ≥ 10 Google Reviews per month
- ≥ 4.5 Star Rating
- Strong review recency and engagement
- ≥ 50% of new patients from referrals
What We Review
- Review volume and recency
- Patient communication workflows
- Reputation management
- Referral growth opportunities
- Brand consistency and trust signals
- Overall patient experience alignment
Where Benner & Townsend Stands
- ≥ 10 Google reviews / month: 13 reviews/month Green — strong organic velocity
- Formal referral program live: No Red
- ≥ 50% NP from referrals: Unknown — needs measurement once PeerLogic + new patient form tracking is live
- Live on Swell: Not yet enrolled — opportunity to formalize the review workflow
- Strong existing review velocity is the win — the gap is a formal referral program and a structured review-ask workflow at checkout.
05 Growth Acceleration Strategy Scale Layer Recommendation
Is the practice operationally ready for accelerated growth?
Not every practice needs paid media or additional demand generation immediately. Sustainable growth begins by identifying the true constraint within the business and aligning growth investments appropriately.
Our Strategic Recommendation for Benner & Townsend Dentistry
Benner & Townsend is a General Dentistry practice supporting a newer implant-capable associate. Production is currently constrained by reduced implant support and crown work, while hygiene access remains available. Stage one of your Advanced Care strategy is a foundational GP growth strategy — hygiene-led patient acquisition, phone conversion improvement, reactivation campaigns, and internal implant case development through mentorship. It's the highest-return lever available today, and everything we build for it carries forward.
Direct-to-consumer advertising — SGA-funded implant and cosmetic campaigns — layers on once Gates 1 through 4 are green and holding. That's the unlock: campaigns only pay off when every call is answered, every lead can book, and every patient experience earns five stars. Clearing the gates is what puts Benner & Townsend in line for that investment.
Action priorities for the next 90 days:
- Restore PeerLogic Phones + Analytics for call visibility
- Foundational hygiene patient acquisition (organic + reactivation focus)
- Rebooking / reactivation workflow
- Single-implant case development through associate mentorship
- Evaluate foundational GP marketing — DTC implant campaigns layer on once Gates 1–4 are green
Strategic Growth Areas Reviewed
- Capacity and provider availability (hygiene-led)
- Revenue opportunity and service mix
- Hygiene, GP, reactivation, and single-implant growth potential
- Referral and reactivation opportunities
- SEO and organic visibility
- Paid media readiness
- Community outreach and partnerships
- ROI alignment and budget planning
What We're Doing Now
- Standing up PeerLogic Phones + Analytics for call visibility
- Confirming the Neurality online scheduling embed for the website
- Building local search visibility (organic SEO + GBP optimization)
- Preparing the reactivation campaign workflow
- Holding moving to Advanced Care until Gates 1–4 are green
