Overview
Assure Dental, led by Dr. James “Jim” Poe, is a private dental practice based in Leland, NC. With a strong focus on cosmetic dentistry, crown & bridge work, and implant restorations, Assure Dental prides itself on providing a welcoming, comfortable environment for its patients. The practice serves a mature audience (50-65 years old), including retirees in the Waterford, Brunswick Forest, and surrounding areas.
The goal was clear—increase patient appointments, establish a strong local presence, and improve lead generation through digital marketing efforts.
Challenges
- Low Online Visibility: Assure Dental was struggling to rank on Google for critical search terms such as “Leland Dentist” and “Cosmetic Dentist in Leland.”
- Limited Lead Generation: There was no structured lead conversion strategy in place, and the practice had no clear way to track marketing success.
- Inefficient Ad Spend: Previous marketing efforts did not deliver a measurable return on investment (ROI), making it challenging to justify ongoing digital ad campaigns.
