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.
Most dental practices are invisible to the patients who are actively searching for them right now. A complete, accurate, and compelling digital presence is the foundation of every other growth investment.
Why We're Holding This Bar
SGA's growth investment — paid campaigns, advanced care programs, and dedicated marketing support — is designed to scale practices that are operationally ready. That means practices where patients can find you, reach you, book quickly, and experience something worth talking about.
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.
The Patient Funnel
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.
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 Green
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.

Top Priority Fixes
- Viewport meta present but disables zoom: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, — Remove maximum-scale / user-scalable=0 so users can pinch-zoom
- PSI mobile Performance = 67/100. LCP 6.8 s, Speed Index 3.9 s, TTI 6.8 s, TBT 10 — Compress/lazy-load images, defer render-blocking JS, enable caching/CDN, reduce
- PSI mobile Accessibility = 62/100 — Remediate Lighthouse accessibility findings
- appointment/booking CTA wording present — Add a prominent 'Schedule Appointment' CTA tied to a true online booking flow
- No scheduling vendor or lead form detected — Implement true online scheduling (e.g., LocalMed / NexHealth)

02 New Patient Access Access Layer Green
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

- No scheduling button on the Google listing yet
- ✓ Contact/appointment-request form is live on the website
03 Lead Response & Call Conversion Conversion Layer Gray
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 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 Liberty Family Dental Stands
- PeerLogic call tracking is not yet enrolled — this is the highest-priority action for Gate 3
- Missed call rate and call conversion cannot be measured without PeerLogic
- Neurality AI answering is not yet active — missed after-hours calls go uncaptured
04 Patient Experience & Reputation Experience Layer Red
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

- ≥ 4.5 Star Rating
- Strong review recency and engagement
What We Review
- Review volume and recency
- Patient communication workflows
- Reputation management
- Referral growth opportunities

- Overall patient experience alignment
Where Liberty Family Dental Stands
- Google review volume: not yet measured — below the 10/month target; Zappy cards + morning huddle review-asks are the fastest fix
- Neurality AI answering not yet active — after-hours patient calls may go unanswered
- Review-request workflow at checkout not confirmed — this is the single highest-leverage action for review volume
05 Growth Acceleration Strategy Scale Layer Recommendation
Is the practice ready for accelerated paid growth and Advanced Care investment?
Recommendation: Build the Foundation First
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 G4 is what puts Liberty Family Dental in line for that investment.
Advanced Care Consideration
- Holding Advanced Care evaluation until Gates 1–4 are green
- Quarterly readiness review with Jenn Freemyer and ROD
- Once green: Direct-to-consumer paid campaigns eligible to launch
What Unlocks Gate 5
- Gate 1 Green: Digital storefront is strong and accurate
- Gate 2 Green: Patients can easily schedule online
- Gate 3 Green: Missed calls <18%, conversion ≥45%
- Gate 4 Green: 10+ Google reviews/month, strong patient experience
