Why a dental-only agency

We focus on one kind of client: dental practices. That focus means we already know the treatments, the patient journeys, the compliance boundaries, the brand rules for aligner systems, and the practice-management realities that general agencies learn on your budget. It also means our examples, our question lists, and our measurement definitions were built for dentistry rather than adapted from roofing or law. We work from an office at 5000 Plaza on the Lake in Austin, by appointment, and with practices across the region in person and by video. The focus has a second benefit: we can be honest about what marketing can and cannot do for a dental practice. Marketing brings a patient to the consult; the consult, the financing conversation, and the patient's own choice decide the start. We report the stages we can measure, we say which ones we cannot, and we do not dress up a call count as a patient count. Practice owners who have been burned by vague retainers tend to find that refreshing, and it is the standard we hold ourselves to on every page of this site.

Who we serve

  • General and family dentists, pediatric dentists, orthodontists.
  • Cosmetic and implant practices, oral surgeons, endodontists, periodontists.
  • Multi-location groups in Central Texas.
  • Practices in Austin and the surrounding cities we list under Areas We Serve.

What we will not do

  • Invent reviews, case studies, certifications, partner badges, team members, or testimonials.
  • Claim rankings, citations, recommendations, patient numbers, or revenue we cannot show.
  • Publish clinical statements your dentist has not reviewed.
  • Hold your accounts, domain, or content in our name.
  • Create virtual offices or doorway pages for you or for ourselves.

What has changed in dental marketing, and what has not

Patients now ask AI assistants full questions, and the map pack still decides most local choices. Both are served by the same honest work.

What has not changed

  • Google Search and Maps fundamentals
  • Reviews and reputation
  • Fast, accessible websites
  • Answering the phone

What has changed

  • "Which dentist near me takes my plan and sees kids?" asked to an assistant
  • Fact consistency across sources now matters more
  • Answers hidden in widgets are invisible
  • Measurement has to reach treatment starts, not clicks

We build for both, inside your existing website wherever possible.

How we work

A few commitments that shape every engagement, written into the proposal rather than implied.

You own everything

Your domain, website, content, Google Business Profile, Ads account, and analytics stay in your name, with us as a removable manager.

Deliverables are listed

Each month you see what was done, with evidence, not a vague retainer summary.

Claims are verified

Nothing clinical publishes without your review; nothing about results is stated without a source, a date, and a definition.

No fabricated proof

No fake reviews, invented case studies, purchased links, or manufactured recommendations.

Honest measurement

We report inquiries as inquiries and treatment starts as treatment starts, and we say what attribution cannot prove.

Your team can run it

Pages built in Elementor your office can edit, with training and documentation at handoff.

The standards we hold ourselves to

These are the rules we follow on every page we publish for a client and on our own site.

  • Verified facts. Providers, locations, services, and insurance confirmed with the practice before publication.
  • Visible answers. Important information as real text, never hidden in images, sliders, or widgets.
  • Clinical review. Every clinical statement approved by the dentist responsible.
  • Valid markup. Schema.org types that exist, describing only what is true.
  • Honest measurement. Sources, dates, definitions, and limitations on every number.
  • No manipulation. No hidden text, fake reviews, paid links, or instructions aimed at AI systems.
  • Accessibility. WCAG 2.2 AA targets on every build.
  • Ownership. Everything in the client's name.

If you find a page of ours that breaks one of these, tell us and we will fix it.

What our own site practices

Who we are → What we do → Who we serve → Where we are → How we measure → What we will not promise → How to reach us

We apply the same standards to this website that we recommend to clients: verified facts, visible answers, valid markup, and no claims we cannot support. Team profiles and authorized project examples are published as they become available, and never invented.

Questions to ask before a 12-month marketing agreement

Whether you talk to us or anyone else, these belong in writing before you sign.

Ask

  • What exactly is delivered each month?
  • What are the fees, and what is media spend?
  • Who owns the domain, site, content, profile, and ad account?
  • Who has access, and how is it removed?
  • What is reported, with what definitions?
  • Are subcontractors used, and are conflicts disclosed?
  • What are the cancellation, renewal, and handoff terms?
  • What evidence of past work can be shown, with permission?

Our answers

  • Listed deliverables with evidence, monthly.
  • Fees separated from media and from any redesign or software.
  • Ownership in your name, always.
  • Access documented and removable at any time.
  • Reporting with sources, dates, and definitions.
  • Subcontractors and conflicts disclosed in the proposal.
  • Terms stated in the written agreement, not promised on this page.
  • Authorized examples shared with permission.

How we measure our own work

For every client, with definitions, from the first report.

  • Inquiries by source with spam excluded.
  • Qualified inquiries, consultations, and treatment starts as far as your systems connect them.
  • Cost per stage with management and media costs shown separately.
  • Visibility in search, Maps from several points, and a documented AI sample.
  • What is not measurable yet, stated plainly.

We do not use a single score to summarize a practice's marketing. A broken form or an unsupported claim is a problem regardless of any total.

Questions practice owners ask about us

Plain answers, with anything we cannot say yet marked as such.

"Are you a real Austin company?"

Yes. Our office is at 5000 Plaza on the Lake, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78746, by appointment only. We do not accept walk-ins.

"Who actually does the work?"

Our delivery team covers strategy, writing drafted for your clinical review, technical SEO, local search, paid media, and WordPress and Elementor development. The proposal names roles and discloses any subcontractor.

"Can you show results?"

Authorized examples with dates, starting conditions, channels, and definitions are shared with the client's permission. We do not publish invented case studies.

"Do you work with my competitor?"

Conflicts are disclosed in the proposal before you sign.

"What if we want to leave?"

Everything stays yours because it was always in your name. Terms, cancellation, and handoff are in the written agreement.

"Do you also do patient care?"

No. We are a marketing agency. We do not provide dental care and we never make a practice look like it does something it does not.
