Dr. Singh
Dr. Amarik Singh is a periodontist who practices in a suburb right outside of Chicago.
Before partnering with Progressive Dental Marketing, his business model depended heavily on doctor referrals. He spent a good portion of his time networking with other doctors at study clubs, lunch and learns, and dinners in order to increase his referrals.
Dr. Singh had minimal web presence on Google and social media platforms, and had little patient reviews due to a lack of marketing efforts. He also had no standardized treatment presentation, and no tracking or analytics process.
Goals
- Attract more patients direct from the public and not rely so heavily on referring doctors
- Be the main choice in the Chicagoland area for patients looking for full-arch dental implant solutions
- Increase production to 30 full-arch cases per month
- Blanket the Chicago market and surrounding area with his brand
- Increase the overall practice 90%
-
Strategy
- Build out a dominant web presence to attract unattached patients and eliminate the need to rely solely on referrals.
- Increase full-arch cases and become the king of full-arch dental implants in the Chicago market.
- Market direct-to-the-public to promote full-arch dental implant solutions.
- Blanket the market with his brand and become the undisputed choice for periodontal care.
- Move from a referral-based practice to more of a direct-to-patient marketing model.

Custom Website
A periodontists’ website is a representation of the practice, and is frequently the main determining factor whether a visitor converts into a lead or not. When we first took on Dr. Singh as a client, he had a typical templated site which was not set up to covert at a high percentage. We saw a need to build a custom website that included video integration and custom copy. The end product gave him the confidence to market his practice and drive more traffic to his site.

Coaching & Training
Most, if not all, marketing companies feel satisfied by simply making the phone ring. Converting leads to actual patients is key.
Here at Progressive Dental Marketing we believe that it’s our JOB to drive leads and work with the team to book the calls at a high rate, improve show rate and make sure the patients are accepting treatment.
When we first started working with this practice they were booking referred patients at a high percentage, but struggling with price shoppers that were directly from marketing. We worked with the front desk team who handles dental implant price questions, and offered proven suggestions on how to better address them. They are now booking over 65% and have implemented a strategic greeting that allows them to take control of the call immediately.
With our internal marketing training and strategy, we were able to go from minimal Google reviews and video testimonials to over 150 Google review and 70 video testimonials on Dr. Singh's YouTube channel, which all play a vital role in 2nd opinion patients.

Press Releases
Being viewed as the authority and expert in your area can be challenging. With press releases, we reached out to credible news outlets who picked up and republished his releases on their websites. This earned him additional valuable real-estate on Google results pages and attracted new, interested patients.
Dental Implant Seminar
We launched a dental implant seminar to get in front of a group of qualified patients. This allowed Dr. Singh, and continues to allow him, to educate the entire group at once and use our sales process to close at a high percentage.
Outcome:
In a 12-month period he hosted 6 seminars:
305 leads
57 New patients
19% conversion from leads to patients
over $700,000 production
ROI- 1,118%

Negotiating the best rate with mass media is what we do. There are still people who read the newspaper on a consistent basis, and that is the demographic we target. Generating over 100 quality leads per month by adding the qualifier price on the ad makes it easier for the front desk to book at a high percentage. Newspaper accounts for 20% of the practices full-arch cases.

Overall
Dr. Singh has not relied on dentists to send any patients his way since partnering with Progressive Dental Marketing. He now spends his time doing what he loves with his spare time, instead of competing with other periodontists who entertain doctors to increase referrals. He consistently helps over 100 new monthly patients and is now able to cross-refer those patients to the doctor of his choice.
Social Media
With the growing demand of searches being done on social media sites, such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, we create social media posts that educate patients, reach a targeted demographic, and engage enough to share and go viral.
