Along with the basics, we also offer a wide-variety of additional marketing services. Some of these services include:

We have partnered with an online credit card processing company to help your patients pay through your website. Our partnership also helps you save money with lower rates and transaction fees.
• 

Dental Practice Photography:

Custom photography can help potential patients feel connected to your practice before their first appointment. If you need an experienced photographer to update your online photos, our team is here to help!
• 

Patient Education Videos:

What's the best way to make sure a patient follows through on treatment recommendations? Make sure they have the information they need to understand the benefits of dental treatments offered by your practice.
• 

Direct Mail Campaigns:

Believe it or not, direct mail campaigns are still a powerful promotional tool, especially for people that have just moved to your area. If you want to target this demographic, we can design a custom campaign tailored to your office and brand.
• 

Email Based Newsletter for Patients:

An electronic newsletter is one of the best ways to stay in touch with your current patients. We want to avoid the old adage, “out of sight, out of mind.” Staying visible with a newsletter can lead to more scheduled appointments and better patient loyalty.
• 

Email Hosting:

We offer email hosting to ensure your business email matches your website domain. A matching domain and email address is much more professional that using Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail.
• 

Facebook Ads:

Due to Facebook’s popularity, paid ads can be a fruitful way to generate new patients leads. Facebook ads are also unique in that they allow us to target your key demographic (with laser focus) based on age, gender, geographic location, relationship status, “likes,” education, job title, and other aspects.
• 

Logo, Design, and Branding Services:

Your logo and brand may be more important than you think. Talk with our design team to learn more about your possible options, whether you need a new logo or want to update an existing one.
• 

Online Bill Pay:

Much like our credit card processing, online bill pay makes it easier for your patients to pay for their treatments, especially if they need a payment program. We use the latest software and security measures to ensure a seamless billing process.
• 

Patient Forms (Fillable PDF):

A fillable PDF makes it easier for your patient to complete their paperwork before their first visit. This reduces your set-up time, allowing you to see more patients throughout the day.
• 

Patient Forms (Secure Online):

Secure online forms cut paperwork out altogether, meaning your staff will not have to waste time transferring the data to your computer system. It is also a more environmentally-friendly option, a nice selling point for patients that want to keep it green!

Local Success: The Chicago Dental Market


Chicago represents one of the most dynamic and competitive dental markets in the United States, with unique characteristics that demand sophisticated marketing approaches. As the third-largest city in the nation, Chicago's dental landscape is shaped by several key factors that create both challenges and opportunities for dental practices.

The Chicago metropolitan area, spanning from the lakefront neighborhoods to suburbs like Aurora, Naperville, and Schaumburg, hosts over 4,600 practicing dentists serving a population of nearly 10 million residents. This density creates intense competition, particularly in affluent neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and the Gold Coast, where multiple practices often compete within a few blocks of each other.

However, this same density also indicates strong demand for dental services, with Chicago residents demonstrating higher-than-average dental insurance utilization rates and willingness to invest in cosmetic and specialized treatments.

Chicago's diverse economy, anchored by major corporations in finance, healthcare, technology, and manufacturing, provides a stable patient base with comprehensive dental benefits. This educated demographic actively researches providers online, making digital marketing essential for practice growth.

The city's neighborhood-centric culture presents unique marketing opportunities. Chicago residents strongly identify with their local communities, whether it's Wicker Park, Hyde Park, or Edison Park, and often prefer healthcare providers within their immediate area. This hyperlocal loyalty means practices must optimize for neighborhood-specific searches and build community connections through targeted social media and local SEO strategies.

Transportation patterns also influence patient behavior in Chicago, IL. With many residents relying on public transit, practices near CTA stations or with convenient parking see higher patient volumes. Marketing messages that emphasize accessibility, whether highlighting proximity to the Blue Line or available parking in River North, resonate strongly with potential patients navigating the city's urban landscape.

At WEO Media, we've developed strategies that can help practices from Evanston to Oak Park capture their share of this lucrative market. Whether you're competing for young professionals in the Loop, families in the suburbs, or specialized referrals from neighboring practices, our comprehensive understanding of Chicago's dental landscape ensures your marketing investment delivers maximum returns.

FAQs for Portland Dentists


SEO (Search Engine Optimization) works by improving your website's visibility in Google's search results through strategic technical optimizations and content development. The process involves optimizing your website's code structure, improving page load speeds, creating location-specific content, and building authoritative backlinks from reputable sources.

Our technical approach includes implementing structured data markup that helps Google understand your practice information, optimizing your Google Business Profile with accurate categories and attributes, and ensuring mobile responsiveness for the majority of Chicago patients who search on smartphones.

We can also focus on local SEO factors specific to Chicago neighborhoods, creating dedicated pages for areas you serve and incorporating references that resonate with residents.
Our technical differentiation stems from our specialization in dental practices combined with deep healthcare marketing expertise. Our team includes certified specialists in Google Ads, Facebook, and various SEO tools who understand the technical nuances of healthcare marketing compliance.

Additionally, we can offer detailed competitive analysis that monitors your competitors' digital strategies, allowing us to identify opportunities and maintain your competitive edge.
While we cannot guarantee a specific timeline, SEO follows a predictable technical pattern based on Google's crawling and indexing processes. Initially, on-page optimizations and technical fixes can show improvements within 2-4 weeks as Google recrawls your site. Content creation and local optimization typically begin impacting rankings within 6-12 weeks as Google evaluates content quality and relevance. Link building and authority development, the most time-intensive aspect, generally requires 3-6 months to significantly impact rankings due to Google's link evaluation algorithms.

Throughout this process, we use tools like Google Search Console, Ahrefs, and SEMrush to monitor technical metrics including crawl rates, index coverage, keyword rankings, and backlink acquisition, providing regular reports that track your progress toward first-page visibility in your local search results.
PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising operates through real-time bidding systems on platforms like Google Ads and Facebook Ads.

When someone in Chicago searches for dental services, an instantaneous auction occurs where your bid competes against other advertisers. The technical process involves setting maximum cost-per-click bids, quality score optimization (based on ad relevance, landing page experience, and expected click-through rate), and conversion tracking implementation. We can use advanced features to show ads during your office hours, geo-fencing to target specific Chicago neighborhoods, and negative keywords to prevent irrelevant clicks.
The cost of dental marketing can vary widely depending on the services selected, the competitiveness of the local market, and the goals of the practice. Common pricing models include monthly retainers for services like SEO, budget-plus-management structures for PPC, and one-time development fees for website design, often with ongoing maintenance costs.

Factors that influence pricing include the complexity of the website, the competitiveness of keywords, the size of the geographic area being targeted, and the number of marketing channels being utilized. A tailored strategy helps ensure that budget allocation aligns with your practice’s unique needs and growth objectives.
Yes—reputation management can play a key role in enhancing your practice’s online presence. By encouraging satisfied patients to leave reviews and helping address concerns constructively, it supports a more accurate and positive public perception.

Many systems use automated tools to request feedback, monitor sentiment, and streamline responses across platforms like Google, Facebook, and Healthgrades. While results vary, a strong online reputation often correlates with increased website traffic and improved patient trust. Over time, consistently managing your online reviews can contribute to greater visibility, stronger engagement, and increased appointment inquiries.
Evaluating the effectiveness of your marketing requires tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) across multiple channels. Tools like website analytics, call tracking, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems can help you understand how prospective patients are finding and interacting with your practice online.

By measuring metrics such as website traffic, conversion rates, call volume, and appointment bookings, you can gain valuable insights into what's driving results. Regular performance reports—paired with thoughtful analysis—can help ensure your marketing efforts are aligned with your goals and provide a clear view of return on investment over time.
Social media marketing for dentists involves using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others to engage with current and prospective patients, build trust, and promote services. This typically includes creating and scheduling content, running targeted ad campaigns, and using platform-specific features to increase visibility and interaction.

Tools can help automate posting and track engagement, while ads can be tailored to reach specific audiences based on demographics, interests, or location. When executed strategically, social media marketing can strengthen your online presence, foster community relationships, and support both patient acquisition and retention.
Increasing your online reviews starts with creating a consistent and patient-friendly process for requesting feedback. Many practices use automated systems to send review requests via text or email shortly after an appointment, when patients are most likely to respond positively. Simple tools like QR codes or in-office prompts can also encourage participation. Optimizing your presence on platforms like Google, Facebook, and Healthgrades ensures patients can easily leave reviews where they matter most. Over time, a steady flow of genuine reviews can enhance your practice’s credibility, boost local visibility, and build trust with prospective patients in the Chicago area.
Yes—building or improving your dental practice’s website involves more than just aesthetics. A modern, effective site is designed to load quickly, look great on all devices, and guide visitors toward booking an appointment. Best practices include mobile responsiveness, fast load times, secure browsing, and easy navigation. Features like online scheduling integration, accessible design, and clear calls to action can improve both user experience and conversion rates. While technical details vary by project, the goal is to create a website that not only reflects your brand but also supports long-term practice growth by turning visitors into patients.
