Thriving Dentist

We talked a lot about the Marketing Strategy Meeting. Here's what it actually feels like — in a client's own words. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Marie-Louise just got off her call:

"So much valuable information — answers to questions I did not know I have… Well researched, presented and communicated."

Notice what she didn't say. She didn't say she sat through a sales pitch. She got answers. A clear-eyed look at where her practice stands and what to fix first.

That's the whole point. You bring your practice. We bring six hours of research on you and your top competitors. You leave with a plan — whether you ever work with us or not.

A few spots are still open this month. 👉www.thrivingdentist.com/tdmsm/

Found a gap in your SEO audit?

Good.

Now don't make the mistake of copying whatever the practice ahead of you is doing.

❌ Copy their website content
❌ Use AI to rewrite it and call it original
❌ Duplicate their website design

None of those shortcuts build long-term rankings.

The practices that win online create original content, share real patient experiences, and consistently show their unique expertise.

That's how trust is built. And trust is what drives new patient growth.

🎧 In Episode 753, Gary and Naren discuss the three biggest mistakes practices make after an SEO audit—and what to do instead.

Have you ever found yourself tempted to copy a competitor's strategy?

"Is it covered?" - how often does that one question shut down a treatment conversation in your practice?

In Episode 754, Gary and Naren get into why it happens and the simple shift that helps: lead with the problem and why it matters before insurance ever comes up.

Listen to the full episode - link below.

Question for you: what's your go-to response when a patient asks if something's covered?

You don't need a marketing degree to figure out where your practice stands.

All you need is 30 minutes and these three simple questions:

✅ Are you ranking on page one for 100+ relevant search terms?

✅ How many Google reviews has the practice down the street gained in the last 30 days?

✅ Does your veneers page include a welcome video and real patient before-and-after photos—or is it just a wall of text?

Take a few minutes and run this audit on your own practice.

Then compare it to your closest competitor.

The gaps become pretty obvious, pretty quickly.

This is the same framework our team uses when auditing dental practices every day, and we're sharing it with you at no cost.

Save this post for later—you'll want to come back to it. 📌

Success in dentistry isn't measured by how busy you are. It's measured by the difference you make, the life you create, and the fulfillment you find along the way.

Every patient you serve, every relationship you build, and every positive impact you make matters more than you think.

As you start a new week, focus on progress over perfection and purpose over pressure.

Have an amazing week! ✨

Ninety seconds.

That’s all the time a potential patient needs to decide whether your practice is worth a phone call.

⏱️ Found you through organic search? About 90 seconds.

⏱️ Found you through a Google ad? Closer to 15.

So here's a question:

What are patients seeing in those first few seconds on your website?

Most practices invest heavily in getting found online but very little in making those precious seconds count.

On Episode 753 of The Thriving Dentist Show, Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah break down a simple 30-minute website audit that helps you uncover exactly where you're losing opportunities (and potential new patients).

We'll be unpacking the entire audit throughout the week.

Follow along. 👇

New episode just dropped 🎙️

Gary and Naren on a gap most practices can't see in their own numbers: the patients avoiding treatment out of fear, not money.

There's a great moment where they pull up the actual value of these cases and it's bigger than you'd guess.

Give it a listen and tell us what you found in your own charts.
