SEO, PPC and AI-search marketing for dental practices in the UK
Searches for dentists are local and high-intent, and the most valuable treatments (implants, aligners and cosmetic work) are worth far more than routine check-ups. We focus your marketing on the treatments and patients you want more of, within healthcare advertising rules. Private treatments such as implants and aligners drive most marketing ROI for UK practices, given limited NHS capacity.
Regulators and rules for dental practices in the UK
Marketing has to work within these. We build them into briefs, copy and ad reviews from the start.

What it means for marketing
