They produce vague leads and unclear results. instead, pick one offer per campaign: - **implants consult** - **invisalign / clear aligners** - **emergency dentist** - **whitening (if you can fulfill quickly)** each offer should have a single next step: call, short form, or online booking. ## step 2: lead forms vs landing pages (the right choice depends on trust) meta gives you two common paths: ### lead forms (fast) best when you need speed and volume. but you must qualify: - ask the minimum to route correctly (name, phone, preferred time) - include 1–2 qualifying questions (service interest, city) - make follow-up fast (minutes, not days) ### landing pages (higher trust) best for high-ticket consults that need more education (implants, invisalign). a good landing page includes: - a short “best answer” above the fold - 3–5 proof blocks (team, office, reviews, outcomes) - objections handled (timeline, financing, what to expect) - one CTA repeated consistently ## step 3: creative frameworks that actually convert four patterns that work in dental because they reduce fear: 1) **the reassurance clip**: “nervous about X? here’s what we do.” 2) **the office walk-through**: “here’s what it feels like to visit.” 3) **the outcome story (no hype)**: timeline + what the consult covers. 4) **the myth-bust**: quick education + a simple CTA. use real clinic assets. stock footage kills trust. ## step 4: targeting that stays modern (and avoids creepy vibes) keep it simple: - geo targeting by service area (cities/zip codes) - broad audiences + strong creative (let the creative do the filtering) - exclusions where needed (to protect spend and lead quality) avoid messaging that feels invasive. dentists win with trust. ## step 5: measure what matters (calls + consults) the goal isn’t “leads.” it’s **booked consults**. track: - calls + form fills by campaign - lead quality (service fit, location fit) - show rate and consult-to-treatment rate (if you can) if you can’t tie ads to outcomes, you can’t scale confidently. ## the 30-day plan (week by week) **week 1: foundation** - choose the offer + next step - decide lead form vs landing page - confirm tracking for calls and forms **week 2: launch lean** - launch 1 campaign per offer (start with one) - test 3–5 creatives max (purposeful variety) **week 3: iterate** - pause losers quickly - duplicate winners and test variations - tighten follow-up to improve lead quality **week 4: scale** - increase budget only when cost + quality hold - add the next offer (one at a time) ## want prism to implement this for your practice? start here: [facebook ads for dentists](/facebook-ads-for-dentists). we’ll map your offer, build proof-first creative, choose the right lead path, and tie performance to calls and consults.
