Attracting new patients is harder and more expensive than ever before. Between rising ad costs, unpredictable results from SEO agencies, and the high price tag of sponsored listings on platforms like Yelp and no-shows on ZocDoc, many dental offices are searching for a more affordable, consistent solution. That’s where DenScore comes in.
Why Traditional Dental Marketing Is Failing Practices
Many dental offices are realizing that conventional marketing platforms are no longer delivering the results they once promised.
Yelp sponsored placements can cost thousands of dollars per month, and often come with no guarantee of visibility or actual patient conversions. Worse, the dental offices who are paying for sponsored listings aren’t always guaranteed the top position in Yelp’s directories.
ZocDoc, once seen as a reliable lead source, is known for having a high no-show rate that charges dentists regardless of whether the appointment is kept. Also, some dentists report patients showing up with dental insurance that the practice doesn’t accept.
And while SEO agencies can be helpful, their results can take months (or years), and their tactics often fail to keep up with Google’s ever-changing algorithm. Even when agencies do everything right, dentists are left wondering where the ROI is.
The bottom line? Dentists are tired of gambling thousands on platforms and strategies that don’t reliably generate new patients.
A Smarter, Simpler Way to Reach Local Patients
DenScore’s “Best Dentist” listings are designed to help high-quality dental practices stand out in Google search results, where thousands of patients are actively looking for care every day.
Instead of competing in saturated ad markets or paying per lead, DenScore offers dental practices the opportunity to appear in the #1 position of our directories for a flat monthly rate of $35 – $60 per office, depending on the agreement terms.
Real Results, No Guesswork
One dental group recently tested DenScore’s directories in multiple locations. Within a single month, one office received over 20 calls from patients who found them listed at the top of our Best Dentist listing. Given that the lifetime value of a single dental patient is estimated at $10,000, it doesn’t take much for practices to see a significant return when partnering with DenScore.
Why It Works
- High-Intent Traffic: DenScore’s Best Dentist listings rank organically on Google in over 2,500 cities and appear in AI-powered search platforms, reaching patients who are actively searching for dental care.
- Trustworthy Listings: Patients trust curated “best of” lists more than paid ads, especially when backed by transparent, dentist-founded platforms like DenScore.
- Flat-Rate Pricing: No fees for no-shows like ZocDoc, and no need to spend thousands on Yelp sponsored listings that often deliver uncertain ROI.
The Bottom Line
DenScore helps dental offices increase visibility, build trust, and attract more patients without the headaches and unpredictability of traditional advertising platforms. DenScore’s monthly rate is less than the cost of a lunch date for two, and the ROI speaks for itself.
