Jared, how's it going? Jared: Fantastic. How about yourself? Michael: Doing pretty good, man. How's the weather like out in Houston? Jared: It's pretty good. There's no humidity. that's a blessing. Typically we're at 99 percent and it's 105. So if I could go outside and not have my whole back Full of sweat, and we're having a great day. So all is well here. That's good, Michael: man. That's awesome. Hey, man. So talk to us a little bit about your, how you came to where you are today. I know you said you had a little bit, we were talking about before you have a concierge practice, and then you're also in other practices, right? Jared: Absolutely. Talk to me about that. As a contragental surgeon, I'm a GP and I, majority of my clinical practice is focused on third molars, implants, and IV sedation. And so I work with about, 30 different practices, about 12 to 15 are actually active practices that'll go into their practice and opposed to them referring patients out, I'll actually come into their practice and provide procedures such as thirds, IV sedation or implants for them. How long have you been doing that for? About nine years. Michael: Oh, man. Okay. So then let's rewind a little bit. What got you into all this? All right. Jared: so my wife, we were in Ohio and she was doing her family medicine residency in Ohio, Kettering, Ohio. And I was working for FQHC, a federally funded health clinic. And when I went there after leaving my GPR at University of Pennsylvania, VA hospital in Philly, I wanted to, focus on how to make the most with doing the least, But my focus was not money first, it was mentorship. So when I was working at this FQHC, his federal funded health clinic in Middletown, Ohio, I was doing procedures, but I wasn't proficient. I was guessing my confidence wasn't there and imposter syndrome was huge. So as I was doing these cases, you know, I felt because I went to an Ivy league residency, after one year I'd be the doctor's doctor, but clearly that was not the at all. I was taking out wisdom...

How can we utilize this or what advice, suggestions, or methods can you give us that will actually attract new patients through our Google Xana: Ads efforts? Oh, there's so much good information in that question you just asked. That's loaded. so there's a lot of things that make Google Ads successful. And let me hit on just like a couple of really important tips. One of the first ones is, be very wary about using Google's own artificial intelligence that they're trying to make it look really easy so anybody can do their own Google Ads. Because if you are using Google's own artificial intelligence platform, you are potentially wasting a lot of money on clicks that are not valuable for you. and, you don't have as much control over reaching the proper target audience. And besides that, Google's gonna actually, you're gonna spend a lot more of your money and get a lot less for it. So, when we do Google Ads for people, there's a couple of things that we do to make sure that they are hitting that success versus what they've been trying to do on their own. One is, and this seems so obvious, you gotta make sure that you are setting your times for your ads. Only when your business is open. Some people just run those ads 24 7. But let's think about the patient experience. When patients call, we know that they want to get in immediately, they've got about 3 days to get scheduled. they do not want to get into a practice that scheduling, They to be able to get in pretty quickly. So they want to be able to. Get in, they want to be able to get a hold of you because you're an errand they're checking off their list. So if you're running, you're at it nine o'clock at night and there's nobody there answering the phone, it's a complete waste of your time and of their time. one way to overcome that is to use online scheduling. Which I think is critical for absolutely any Google Ads campaign because you want to capture people while they are in the moment and they are ready to make their decision. So ideally using online scheduling, but at the very least, people sometimes have questions, so make sure those ads are only running when you're open. As a matter of fact, I usually stop them about an hour before the practice hours are over. Because we don't always make our phone call immediately when we're doing our research. It might take us a little time and we want to make sure that that phone call actually becomes an appointment. another thing that I think...

So talk to us about Google ads. How can we utilize this or what advice suggestions or methods can you give us that will help actually attract new patients through Google ads? Shane: Yeah, michael, so with google ads, these are great because these are people, Doing a search looking for a dentist or a dental service in their community So you're really looking at for the most part pretty serious in market patients at this point, so With that being said the number one piece of advice I could give on launching a successful google ads campaign is making sure that your Targeted campaigns are built out individually, and what I mean by that is, you know, if you're running a an emergency campaign, you you should be specifically bidding on and targeting the emergency dental terms in the area. So emergency dentist, same day dentist, 24 7 dentist, whatever the case is. Having a campaign geared just around emergency dentistry and then if you're wanting to run just a general patient campaign to build the hygiene, um, side of the practice, then those should be general terms that people look at such as, dentist near me, best dental office, dental cleaning, so on and so forth. So that's the number one thing that I think I've seen in the past is a lot of people try to Build one campaign and then bid on like all the different keywords that are general related. And if anybody who's ran Google ads knows, it can get really expensive really quick if you do it that way. Google ads isn't necessarily like, running an ad on Facebook or boosting a post on Facebook. Uh, this is something that you have to have a really, solid strategy in. Otherwise, you're going to blow your budget really quickly and not get any results. So... That's number one. I mean, for us, every new client that we take on, we run two campaigns right out the get go. First is a general campaign. Second is that emergency campaign. And especially for you startups out there listening to this, the emergency campaign is great because a lot of times what we have found is, you're going to have some openings in your schedule as a...

Yolanda, how's it going? Excellent. Excellent. That's wonderful to hear. So if you can tell us a little bit about your past, your present, how'd you get to where you are Yolanda: today? So, uh, Post dental school. I guess we can start there. I started a dental practice after two years of being out of dental school. Immediately after dental school, I went into being hired as a educator, the a professor at U C S F. And so I was teaching, two days a week. I was associating two days a week by the time that I started my practice and I was opening my practice two days a week. it was a busy, busy time for Michael: sure. Okay. So you opened your practice two days a week and two days a week you were working and two days a week you were educating. So you had one day Yolanda: Yeah. To go to Costco to buy stuff for the practice or to go to whatever. It was an Aaron's day. that's how I got started in the practice. Fast forward, I grew that practice to be basically what I felt was like a teenager. My baby kind of grew up to be a teenager and and I'd already had at that 0.2 babies. And I shaped my practice to be. The way I wanted it for my life. And so I had the great benefit of starting my practice pretty much six months out with a coach. and, you know, the big centering point was, what do you want in life? And let's shape your practice to be that. So at different times, I wanted to be at home to be able to, breastfeed or I wanted to be able to have certain times or days off so that I could pick up the kids. So the practice was kind of shifted and shaped to support that. fast forward, we were in this having kids stage. and I had a maternity leave and basically at that point it made sense that I have an associate. So we ended up having, coverage for the first baby, and then by the second baby she became a partner. so that I could have that life balance. What I didn't plan, 'cause that seemed like a logical thing, being a mom and do that. What I didn't plan was being approached to buy another practice. And I was like, oh no, that's not my plan. My plan is this. when this came about I actually took a different trajectory and did invest in another practice and we came up with a bigger why. And that y became our 10 year mission, in growing this second practice and that y became so big that, it meant that I actually would do something that I would've never, ever thought I would do, which is sell my baby, let my baby that grew up to be a teenager. Go...

So talk to us about Google Ads. How can we utilize this, or what advice, suggestions, or methods can you give us that will actually help us attract new patients through Google Joshua: Ads? Hey, Michael. Dude, so always so good to be here with you. I love these, these Monday morning marketing minutes. I don't, I don't know if that's it. That's it. That's four s Monday morning, marketing Minute. I don't know. I think it's maybe one day. Yeah, I'm, I'm adding, I'm changing the title of your show. no, but man, we just had a client, really cool client that went from a startup practice, a startup GP practice that went from zero to 3 million in revenue in year one. And a lot of that was based around digital ads. And so I thought I'd bring in some of those keys that our team was like, here's why that happened into this episode. So I've got like kind of four keys that we observed from a high level on why his ads were so successful. Awesome. Let's get into it, man. Awesome. So number one was he really understood how to scale a campaign. One of the things I tell people is one of the most valuable parts of a digital ad campaign is understanding the formula that you're building. fact, a lot of ways that formula is almost more valuable than the actual spend that's happening. And so for instance, let's say you're spending a thousand dollars a month in Google Ads, and then that generates, I mean, we can put clicks in there if you want, but let's just make it simplify it. Like a thousand dollars generates 30 phone calls, which generates five new patients to the practice. So if we can establish that formula, well now, you know, okay, so if you're bringing on an associate, you're expanding, you want to grow faster, you're like, okay, we need an extra 20 new patients a month. Now we got a formula for that. So we know that 20 would actually have to be a $4,000 investment to get 120 phone calls, which kind of tells you what your front office team needs to be able to handle.

What advice, suggestions, or methods can you give us that will actually help us with our Tyler: startup? I think strategizing. I think having a plan and just going all in on it, you really have to dedicate yourself to this. This is a beast. Starting your own business in any field is extremely difficult. cash is always hard to come by at first because You don't have cash flow coming in. So maintaining your working capital is huge. Spending money in the right places I think is probably. Was my biggest struggle because you get all these sales reps coming in, you hear about all these cool products, about all this technology, all these things that, oh, standard of care. If you don't have this, you're not gonna be successful. I think a salesperson's job is to sell you what they have to sell. so being, open-minded to new ideas and new things, but also being. Uh, having open eyes to seeing what's really gonna have a good return on investment. I think honestly these, these groups on Facebook were probably one of my biggest resources of places to go. Products to try people to talk to. Um, Ashley's group has been huge for me. I haven't participated in a lot lately just 'cause I've been so busy. but what she created doing that. Has been, I mean, it's probably saved billions of dollars as far as startups go with dentists spending money in the right places and not wasting, and not being taken advantage of. 'cause you're able to go on and say, Hey, what did you spend for this? Or Hey, I have this, is this a fair price? Or what about this equipment? Things like that. I mean, that, that group has, has changed dentistry forever and it's really cool. I don't think she knew that. Starting out. I think when she started she was like, Hey, here's what I'm doing. You guys wanna watch? Great. Let's do it together. And, and it's turned into this awesome thing where she's, she's made some huge connections for people all over the world. Michael: Yeah. Cool.

But I have been a dentist for 30 years and a pediatric dentist for 27, practice owner for 23. it's been a great ride. I love it. So was Michael: practice ownership always something you wanted to do or how did that come about? Kristine: I, yeah, I think I always knew that I would be an owner, how that would look. I didn't know, and I really didn't decide to be a dentist till I was a senior in college. So it wasn't like a lifelong dream. It just kind of happened and it ha and I love it. I wouldn't wanna change anything. Yeah. Michael: What were you wanting to do before that? Kristine: Oh, let's see. First I started as an wanted to be an attorney and quickly learned that was not for me. Then I thought an optometrist, and then when I got into physics junior year, I realized, no way, not my strong point. So I had a little bit of an existential crisis and had to figure it out, and dentistry kind of fell in my lap as an option. And I got a job in a dental office, happened to be a pediatric dental office, and. I knew immediately it was immediate that I had found what I was gonna do for the rest of my life. So I was really fortunate in that. So Michael: what was the immediate thing where you're like, this is it now you came home, you're like, I'm gonna do this. Kristine: What was that? It was really more of just a feeling. So, The first day I walked into, I got a job as a dental assistant and I knew nothing. I knew nothing about dentistry. And this dentist, who is many pediatric dentists, know his name, Arnie Weiss. He mm-hmm uh, took me in and said, I'll teach you everything, you know, work in a year with me before you apply to dental school. And We have a deal. So he took me in and it was really just a feeling. I had this...

So Michael: talk to us about your startup. What advice, suggestions, or methods can you give us that will Andrew: actually help us with our startup? Hey, Michael. Yeah, I'm a big fan of startups and so we were just talking about, I'm really excited to share some of the stuff that's worked well for me. So, you know, just quick background. I've done two startups. I'm actually preparing to open two more simultaneously here. Uh, within the next month or two we're, we're hoping to open. So, uh, it's not my first rodeo with it. I've, definitely learned some things along the way and some things the hard way. I would say the biggest thing for me, my biggest advice to the listeners as far as what can you do to help your startup grow as quickly as possible? Is to have an abundance mindset and to lower barriers for new patients. if you get on these Facebook groups and read a lot of these posts and you see docs that are saying, oh, you know, we don't offer specials, we don't offer free whitening. I don't wanna offer dental membership plans 'cause I don't wanna discount my services. Fee for service is the only way to go. Uh, you can't make money with, with dental insurance. I mean, you, you see all this stuff throughout the groups. my response to that is, There's a time and a place for everything. if you have an established practice that's been around for years, you've got a recall system that's, you know, hygiene's booked out for months, doctor's schedules booked out. You know, those are the times to be picky. Those are the times to look at, where am I not making money? Or where am I, losing money? Where I can be making money? and that's maybe the time to start looking at maybe putting some barriers up. If you're a startup and you have zero patients and you have nothing filled on the hygiene schedule, nothing filled on the doctor's schedule. You don't wanna put barriers up for patients. you want to be as readily available for people to come in the door as possible. And when I say...

‍ Hey guys, welcome to this week's episode of Monday Morning Marketing! In today's installment, Dr. Parthiv Mehta and I are diving headfirst into the dynamic world of dental startups, uncovering savvy strategies to save big bucks and keep overhead at bay during those crucial initial stages. We kick off by debunking the location attachment myth, urging you to explore multiple landlords' quotes to find the golden ratio of affordability and accessibility. We also uncover the fact that non-dental contractors could be your ticket to savings of up to $150,000! Additionally, Dr. Mehta shares his advice on embracing mistakes as inevitable stepping stones on your startup journey. Get ready to rethink, re-strategize, and reignite your dental startup dreams in this conversation with Dr. Parthiv Mehta! ‍ You can reach out to Dr. Parthiv Mehta here: Website: https://www.charmdentalcare.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charmdentalcare/ ‍ Other Mentions and Links: Nomad Chick-fil-A Sirona Dental Chairs ‍ For more helpful tips, strategies, ideas, and marketing advice: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalmarketer/‍ The Newsletter: https://thedentalmarketer.lpages.co/newsletter/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2031814726927041 ‍ Episode Transcript (Auto-Generated - Please Excuse Errors) ‍ Michael: Hey Parif. So talk to us about startups. What advice, suggestions, or methods can you give us that will help actually with our startup? Parthiv: So one of the, the biggest advice I could give anybody that is wanting to do a startup is before you actually do it, do as much homework as you can. Don't fall in the trap of, oh, you gotta do this billion dollar, you know, beautiful wall out there. Or like, oh, you gotta have all these top of the line equipments. Do your homework. listen to people who have done it. Maybe ask every person you don't know that has done a successful startup. What would be the one thing that you would change if you had to redo it again? And that probably will give you enough To pick up from their mistakes and, and that will, that will help you a lot. keep your overheads low. I cannot stress on that. I like my sleep at night and I've done three startups and every startup I do, my goal is to make sure from the very first month, I'm not stressed about how much bills I have to pay. And that will only happen if you keep your overheads low and not just be like, okay, I want to have that. $50,000 Sierra chair in there, or I want to have the C B C T with $150,000, whatever the top of the line stuff. I mean, if you can provide that service and if you're confident, for sure, go for it. But there's a lot of secondary market out there. There's a lot of other options out there that, that could help you save a lot. Michael: Gotcha. So then how did you do it pr, how did you keep your overhead low from the beginning phases all the way till where you're at now? Parthiv: So my first practice when I started, I had, I had no money. So what I did was I negotiated with my landlord. So I went heavy on it. And what I did is I picked five locations that I liked, to the point where I wouldn't regret if I didn't get any of those. And then I went with all the four or five landlords and I said, this is what I'm getting. I put them against each other and said, who's, whoever's giving me the high best deal, I'm going with them. I got my best offer. I started with them. What I did is I had the space for five chairs, but instead I just started with three chairs. got those running offered services that, that patient wanted. Customer service was absolutely something that I believe in a lot. So that helped a lot. And I'm in a very high saturation area and it works out great because there's so every half a mile and I have every D S O possible in Texas around me, and it worked out great because there's always patients that are upset about it and that just helped me with my building, my clientele in...

Dalton, how's it going? Uh, pretty good. Dalton: Michael, how about you? Michael: I'm doing pretty good, man. Thanks for asking. If you could tell us a little bit about your past, your present, how'd you get to where you Dalton: are today? I. Yeah, so I've been in marketing for eight years now. I started my career coming out of the University of Denver in, in a slightly lesser known field of marketing operations. So it's all like the systems and processes that make marketing work, right, to be able to prove value and to get a feel for everything. So I started my career there. Um, I'm now here at Tempe, which is my third startup where I, I really think that I thrive, right? This is where I am able to build, I'm able to really see the impacts of my efforts, um, and I'm more connected with, with our users as well than I have been at a much larger corporation. So this is the second time that I've built a marketing department within, within a startup, and so far it's been going really well. Gotcha. Michael: So, real quick temp me Dalton: is what? Temi is a dental staffing community, so we help offices find placement with assistance as well as hygienists for both temporary, multi-day and permanent placement services as well. Gotcha. Michael: So before the other two startups that you worked at, was it in the industry, dental industry, Dalton: or No. Great question. Not in the slightest. I've spent a lot of time in cybersecurity and then the other startup that I was at was actually a highly verticalized software company. So they specialized in software for, um, portable toilet vendors, roll off dumpsters and septic pumpers. So it was very specific. Really cool company there, and that's where I really discovered my passion for startup marketing and being able to have that a lot bigger connection with, with your customers and have a lot more fun with what you're doing as a marketer too. That's where I really found my passion for it. And so even though it's kind of a funky industry, I'll, always be forever, but grateful. Yeah. Nice Michael: man. So you've been in marketing for a minute now, right? And...

So talk to us about your startup. what advice would you give us suggestions or methods that will actually help us with our startup Pejman: process? So in my case, uh, I opened late February. I didn't know when I was gonna open because I didn't know when I was gonna get my c o, but. If I had to go back in time, I would've probably started marketing maybe a month before which I'm doing right now anyway, so I'll just tell you what I'm doing right now and I would've just kind of backtracked it a month earlier and done the same exact stuff. Mm-hmm. for one, Facebook marketing, I do all my own Facebook marketing, so I run ads, campaign ads. I have one ad that's running Basically I have five photos. I have one of me with the staff. I have one with the assistants holding a little whitening thing. I have me and, a patient shaking hands. I have another one, um, with me and my IT guy who's been a total lifesaver in this journey of mine. holding hands and for each blurb. I don't talk about dentistry, so I kind of say, Hey, this is, you know, Dan, my IT guy, you know, he's super nice and he doesn't like going to the dentist, but he's helping me out and call us if you need anything. I don't advertise free whitening. I don't do any of that stuff. Um, the guy with me holding his hand, shaking his hand, um, kind of the same thing. Um, it doesn't look like an ad per se, um, which works. Uh, and then the best performing ad is the one where, My assistants went business to business, holding our brochures, shaking hands, and taking a selfie that way. And once you put these ads out, you can put your own blurb into each different one, and then Facebook will allocate your daily budget to the best performing ad. And by far, my best performing ad is the one I just said, is the one where the assistants are shaking hands, um, with a bunch of business owners saying, Hey, we're a small business. You know, we know it's important to help each other out and come visit us if you want. Here's our number and website. So Facebook allocates like 80% of my daily budget to that ad alone, which is, it's getting the most clicks, awareness, engagement, all that stuff. there's ads where they'll click it and they'll, it'll go to my website and that's it. On the website, there's a book now button and the phone number, which is all being tracked. one set of ads with five of those pictures. The other set of ads is it goes directly to the scheduling website, which is flex in my case....

When searching for a new dentist online, um, 75% of people will never go past that first page of Google search results. So it's super important that you place at the top or near the top. Otherwise, patients in your area may never even know that you exist. And, um, even in that, 10 to 20 spot. As I said, people may never go past that first page, so we wanna make sure that we're ranking as high as possible, for as many keywords as possible so that we can get found by, potential patients so they can book with us. one interesting little...

So from there, we just, uh, my wife and I, so we are both dentists. She graduated in about, you know, 2011 ish. So, you know, I was in 2007, she was 2011. And then we just started, you know, our own little operation. And, uh, since then, I think it's been a, it's been a journey. Lots of ups and downs, lots of mistakes. And uh, right now we, we are, we are a few locations here in the Midwest. Nice. How many locations? So we're currently, we are operating out 11 locations. Wow. Michael: 11 locations then. Okay, man. So, real quick, rewind a little bit. You were working for corporate and you said you stuck it out for four years. What were you having to. Noel: Deal with. Yeah. Great. Great question. Because right now, when I look at some of the forums and I see some of the new guys coming out, they're like, in know, job hopping. They just, if they don't like something, they just quit. Mm-hmm. Right. For me, it was more about sticking it out my own principles, my own, uh, moral and ethical value and like, you know, whatever it is, we just take the most, extract the most out of it and, uh, just take it and, and just take it as a learning experience. I always saw positivity in whatever situation I was...

So talk to us about s e o. How can we utilize this, or what advice, suggestions, or methods can you give us that will help actually attract new patients through s e o? Brandie: S e o has been around for at least 22, 23 years and his. It changed a lot over the years, but there are certain pieces of SEO o foundational components of SEO that are still very applicable today. Foundational, s e o is not dead, even with all of the local pack and maps and using SER and using other tools. Foundational seo, which is on page seo. An off page s e o is still very, very relevant and very necessary in every dental practice website. And so, I think I just wanna touch on those components and make sure that people understand how SEO O works. In the search engines as well as what OnPage and off-page s e o technically is. Uh, I know it can kind of seem intimidating, but it is just a series of components that we wanna make sure are visible and implemented on every page of a dental website as well as the external pieces On the internet and being found more consistently in the organic search positioning on Google. So when you're looking at Google, the search results are kind of broken out into chunks for you. The very first thing you normally see is all of your pay-per clicks and your ads. For people who are running keyword, Google Ads. The next section is generally your local pack or your Google Maps, which come up, um, with the map next to it. And that has your positioning there is based on, uh, not only content of your Google My Business, the verification of your Google My Business, but also the consistency of your listings on the internet. Consistently making sure your Google My Business profiles are updated with your hours and services. so that is your local pack, and then you have your organic search results, and that's really where SEO comes in. Traditional foundational SEO comes in in those organic search positions. So. four on page s e o. Every single page of a dental website that you, you are SEOing for, needs to have about 650 to 1200 words. So 650 is your minimum word count for a good nice Google crawl to index that keyword. Focus for the page and Raise you in your positioning. So you do wanna have a minimum of 650 words. You also, obviously those words have a keyword focus, so you determine that when you're writing the content for an s e o page and that keyword content, the keyword itself will be present in the title of the page, usually the URL of the page, and within the text body. But the foundational s e o components have to do with your S e O title and your...
